A person type classifies how a person interacts with your organization’s work processes. Examples of person types are internal coordinator, external contact person, supervisor, subcontractor, and so on.

You can define a maximum of 10 person types. The Person types selection step enables you to select the defined existing person types within your organization. You can link a person to a person type by selecting a person type in the Person types selection step and then selecting a person from the Personnel selection level.

You can also view personnel of a particular person type. To do so, select a person type from the Components selection level and then go to the Personnel selection level. The link between personnel and person types enables you to retrieve filtered pick lists in other TSIs that contain personnel of a particular person type.
