Dynamic Actions are automatically triggered by the system when it meets certain actions. E.g. If you enter number of Child as 2 in IT0002, the system atomically triggers the IT0021, subtypes Child to enter the details. Otherwise, it will not trigger the IT0021, if you did not mention any value in number of child in IT0002. Same like that we can configure Dynamic Actions depends on our need using the path IMG->PM->PA-> Customizing Procedure → Dyn Action or by using Table T588Z.

A dynamic actions allows you to define some specific behaviors while executing an action depending, for example, on values of the last infotype filled and so on. You can state whether the action is to be carried out for “Change”, “Create” and/or “Delete” record.

(IMG menu path Personnel Management>Global Settings in Personnel Management>Basic Settings>Infotypes>Create Dynamic Actions). A dynamic measure has the following components: Infotype Number (INFTY): Specifies the infotype that triggers (trigger) action.
