New subtype to 0021 FAmily member /dependants

Question

Hi ,
I want to add a new sub type to family members and Dependants info type.I see a lot subtypes available in V_T591A however when i go to the master data i only see one subtype coming up 7:emergency contact. All the other subtypes such as child,spouse and divorced spouse even though they exist do not seem to come up. I was wondering if there was any place where we mention what subtypes appear and do not appear in the master data.  Any help is very much appreceated.
Thanks in advance
Jason

Hi Jason,
Just try to maintain the subtypes in V_T591A for IT0021 through SM30 or IMG path: PM -> PA -> Personnel Data -> Family -> Personnel Data -> Define family types
The most common family types have already been defined in the standard SAP System.
1. Check whether the default settings meet your requirements.
2. If you need to create a new family type, proceed as follows:
a) Enter the value 0021 in the field Infotype.
b) Enter the number of the new infosubtypes.
c) Enter a short text for the family type.
d) Determine the time constraint of the family type.
Also if there are subtypes already defined there for IT0021 and then also they are not getting displayed then you need to evaluate.
Let me know if this is the case.
Hope this will be of help
