Use this procedure to maintain text on an infotype.

Infotype text can be created or maintained at the same time an infotype record is created, copied, or changed. For simplicity, this procedure will take you through the steps to create infotype text with no other changes to that infotype.

Tips: 

There is only one infotype text box on an infotype, but the infotype text can have several entries added to it.

Infotype text can only be created on specific infotypes.

The text can be edited and deleted by any user who has create/change access to the infotype.

Refer to your agency business process to determine message standards, such as including your name and the date that the text was created or edited.
