What is an action? What are the info-types used for standard action for creating position?
We create objects using actions. An action is a series of info-types that are presented for editing in a specific order or sequence. We determine the info-types and the sequence in customizing. Each action can only be defined for one object type.
When defining an action, make sure that we are assigning info-types in a logical order. The object info-type should always be edited first and have 01 as its line number.

What is the use of cost distribution info-type (1018)?
It allows organizational units and positions to be assigned to both a master cost centre and additional cost centres. You must enter a cost centre and a percentage. The assignment to the master cost centre is based on the difference (to 100%). An employee will inherit the master cost centre assigned to their position or organizational unit.
Personnel Cost Planning uses the Master Data Cost Distribution info type (0027) for cost planning for basic pay and payroll results. If this has not been maintained, it uses the Cost Distribution info type (1018) in Organizational Management. The Organizational Management Cost Distribution info type is always used for cost planning for planned compensation.
If it is available, the Master Data Cost Distribution
info type (0027) is used to determine and assign personnel costs in Payroll
Accounting. If this info type has not been maintained, however, the system,
where possible, accesses the Organizational Management Cost Distribution
info type (1018).
