Summary
Most of us are familiar with a situation where, we have modified some attributes of an Infotype fields in
Customizing User interfaces (T588M), made certain standard fields as optional/output etc. But when you
come back to Employee Master (PA30) you find those changes have not taken effect. Those fields still
remain Mandatory and you cannot bypass them while maintaining that Infotype.
So the question remains where such fields are defined as mandatory, why certain changes made in T588M
dont doesnt reflect in PA30.

THE MYTH: Infotype fields input attributes are controlled ONLY in Screen Modifications (T588M)
THE MYTH: Infotype fields input attributes are controlled ONLY in Screen Modifications (T588M)
EX:
Well it is falsewe shall now dig deep into where those tiny tick marks that we see for certain fields in an
Infotype are actually defined as mandatory. How to find the standard mandatory fields of an Infotype? Well,
follow through the below screen shots and all those questions will be answered.
Although some steps may seem familiar and basic for some people yet I include them considering the
larger audience.
Step 2: Display the Infotype and F1 on any field and click on technical details
And from the screen that Pop-up (Technical Information Screen) make note of Screen No (2000,2001..2010
etc) This screen no is unique to a country and corresponds to country specific screens. Similar to Alt.Screen
in T588M.
Step 5: Select Screens & Double click on the Screen No.(That we made note of in Step 2) Once you
Double click you will find 3 tabs on right hand top
Step 6: Select Tab Element List > Special Attributes > Input (Required /Not Required/
Possible/Recommended) (F4 on input for further Documentation) Here you find the standard attributes of
Infotype fields and can easily find mandatory fields.
Step 7: Last but definitely not the least. Select your Screen No and Go to Layout
( Ctrl + F7 )Screen Painter (The ones with the Question Marks are mandatory fields)
So now you know how to find those mandatory fields for any Infotype.
