Infotype Impact

[Former Member]

Hey Experts,

What will have more impact during an upgrade, a Custom infotype ( where we have created the infotype 100% and the screen and everything is custom) or

An enhacement to an existing infotype?

I personally feel it will be the enhancements to the Existing infotype but the impact is more in terms of integration with the standard functionality but does it really impact during upgrades I am not sure…

Can you please let me know on this at the earliest as this is quite Urgent.......

Thanks,

KK

Hi,

Even the infotype enhancements will not have an impact during the upgrade because they are enhancements(SAP Recommended) and not core modifications.

You may face some problems in the BDC recordings that call the infotype screens. Since the screen numbers and screen-field names tend to change from one version to another.

Focus will be on the BDC subroutines that are used in your reports and module pool programs.

Hope this helps you.

Subbu.
