Adding dropdown list in an Infotype

Question

Hi ABAP HR Gurus,
Good day.
Basically, I need to add a dropdown list in a standard Infotype.  Can you kindly provide the steps on how to accomplish this?  Do I still need to use Transaction PM01 for this?  Thank you very much!
Best regards.

Hi,
i have use this steps.
To create authorization fields, choose Tools --> ABAP Workbench --> Development --> Other tools --> Authorization objects ® Fields.
To create a authorization field:
1. Choose Create authorization field.
2. On the next screen, enter the name of the field. Field names    must be unique and must begin with the letter Y or Z.
3. Assign a data element from the ABAP Dictionary to the field.
4. If desired, enter a check table for the possible entries. For    more information about check tables.
For more information about AUTHORITY-CHECK, see the keyword documentation of the ABAP Editor.
You can often use the fields defined by SAP in your own authorization objects. If you create a new authorization object, you do not need to define your own fields. For example, you can use the SAP field ACTVT in your own authorization objects to represent a wide variety of actions in the system.
Assigning an Authorization Object to an Object Class
Each authorization object must be assigned to an object class when it is created.
Choose Tools --> ABAP Workbench --> Development --> Other tools -->
Authorization objects --> Objects.
You can also create authorization objects in the Object Navigator (SE80).
The system displays a list of existing object classes.
Object classes are organized according to the components of the system.
Before you can create a new object, you must define the object class for the component in which you are working. The objects are not overwritten when you install new releases.
You can also define your own object classes. If you do so, select class names that begin with Y or Z to avoid conflicts with SAP names.
Enter a unique object name and the fields that belong to the object. Object names must begin with the letter Y or Z in accordance with the naming convention for customer-specific objects.
You can enter up to ten authorization fields in an object definition. You must also enter a description of the object and create documentation for it.
Ensure that the object definition matches the AUTHORITY-CHECK calls that refer to the object.
Do not change or delete authorization objects defined by SAP. This disables SAP programs that use the objects.
You can regenerate the profile SAP_ALL after creating an authorization object.
