Using extends in itemtype in Hybris

Question

What happens if I do not specify extends in itemtype in Hybris when I create a new itemtype?

Eg:

<itemtype code="Unit
              jaloclass="de.hybris.platform.jalo.product.Unit"
              autocreate="true"
              generate="true">
        <deployment table="Units" typecode="10"/>

I found the answer. It extends by default to GenericItem. So the above code will automatically be converted to:

<itemtype code="PaymentInfo"
              extends="GenericItem"
              jaloclass="de.hybris.platform.jalo.order.payment.PaymentInfo"
              autocreate="true"
              generate="true">
