Sending a work item to a Person

Thanks Dave -

I checked the IMG and the subtype for SY-UNAME was '1' rather than
'0001' as you mention. I created a new entry with a subtype of '0001'
and created a new infotype with this subtype for my Person and now the
work item is delivered to the username maintained in PA30 for this
Person. Perfect!

I'm not sure if creating the new subtype was a bit naughty though...a
couple of warning messages about it not being in my namespace popped
up. There aren't any HR people to check with, the system was just like
that....

> In the IMG from Personnel Management --> Personnel Administration --> Communication --> Create communication tyes you should see an entry for '0001' under sybtype and 'System user name (SY-UNAME)' under the Name column and '2' under the time constraint column. Well it does in my system and most systems I've worked on.
