SMARTFORMS !T"R#"$ %U"STO!S $T& A!S$"RS

1. What Are Smart Forms In SAP System?

SAP Smartform is a graphical user interface tool to create and maintain forms. SAP Smart
Forms supports printer, fax, e-mail or internet (XML) as its output medium.

SAP Smartform is a tool for the maintenance of forms on hich application data from the SAP
s!stem can "e output. #epending on the application, the num"er of forms to "e printed can "e
$er! high, and the! might ha$e to "e printed in a short period of time, in a mass printing.
%xamples of mass printing are monthl! in$oices sent "! telecom companies or salar!
statements.

Transaction Code to create and maintain forms is SMARTFORMS.

2. What Are The Differences et!een SAP Scri"ts # Smartforms?

Differences $et!een SAP Scri"ts and Smart Forms are%
Smart Forms are client independent and SAP Scripts are client dependent.
Multiple page formats are possi"le in Smart Forms hich is not the case in SAP Scripts.
&t is possi"le to ha$e a Smart Form ithout a main indo here as !ou create a SAP
Script ithout a main indo.
Smart Forms generates a function module hen acti$ated, hich is not the case ith
SAP Scripts.
SAP Scripts re'uire a dri$er program to displa! the output hereas in Smart Forms the
form routines can "e ritten so that it is standalone.
An integrated Form (uilder helps to design Smart Forms more easil! than SAP Scripts.
A )a"le Painter and Smart St!les to assist in "uilding up the Smart Forms hich is not
a$aila"le in SAP Scripts.
Smart Forms generates XML output hich can "e $ieed through the e".

&. 'o! Many Main Windo!s Can We 'a(e In A Smartform?

*nli+e SAP Scripts, in Smart Forms !ou can ha$e onl! one main indo. And that too its idth
should "e same in all the pages hereas height can "e $aried. ,nl! one main indo per
smartforms is alloed "ut !ou can ha$e -- su"-indos.

Main Windo! ) Smartforms * On+y 1.
Main Windo! * SAP Scri"ts * ,,.

-. Is It Mandatory To 'a(e A Main Windo! In Smartforms?

&t is possi"le to create Smartforms ithout a main indo also. &n case, confirmation of a mail
to client or customer is re'uired there is no need of main indo, this can "e achie$ed or done


through smartforms ithout main indo.

.. What Are The Ty"es Of Windo!s A(ai+a$+e In Smartforms?

Four )!pes of indos a$aila"le in Smart Forms. )he! are.

Main Windo!
Secondary Windo!
Co"ies Windo!
Fina+ Windo!

/. 01"+ain The Si2nificance Of Main Windo!?

asica++y3 !e 4se main !indo! !hen there is a need to dis"+ay te1t or data !hich can
co(er se(era+ "a2es. Sa! there is a re'uirement to displa! data of all the ros of a ta"le (a
ta"le in hich !ou are not $er! sure as to ho man! ro it has), in such cases e ala!s use
main indos.

As soon as a main indo is completel! filled ith text/data, the s!stem continues to displa!
the text/data in the main indo of the next page. It a4tomatica++y tri22ers the "a2e $rea5.

,nl! one indo can "e defined in a form as main indo. )he main indo can "e called in
other pages of the form "ut it must ha$e the same idth on each page, "ut can differ in
height.

A "a2e !itho4t main !indo! m4st not ca++ itse+f as ne1t "a2e3 since this ould trigger an
endless loop. &n such a case, the s!stem automaticall! terminates after three pages.

6. 01"+ain The Si2nificance Of Secondary Windo!?

asica++y3 secondary !indo! is 4sed to dis"+ay te1t or data o4t"4t !ith a fi1ed +en2th.

Secondar! indos are used hen there is a need to displa! text and data in a predetermined
output area. )here is no flo text displa! ith page "rea+.

&f e position a secondar! indo ith the same name on se$eral pages, the s!stem displa!s
the contents of this secondar! indo on each page.

)ext 0 data that do not fit into the secondar! indo are truncated and not displa!ed.

7. 01"+ain The Si2nificance Of Co"ies Windo!?

(asicall!, Co"ies Windo! is a s"ecia+ ty"e of secondary !indo! for ma5in2 "a2es as co"y or
ori2ina+.)his indo t!pe is used to output data either on original, or on copies, or "oth.

&n simple ords, Co"ies !indo! is to $e 4sed !hen there is a re84irement to "rint co"ies of
the "a2es.

1opies indo is used to define an output area for the print output, hose content !ou ant
to appear either onl! on the cop! or onl! on the original. )his allos !ou to flag copies as


copies hen the form is printed.

,. 01"+ain The Si2nificance Of Fina+ Windo!?

Fina+ !indo! is to $e 4sed !here there is a re84irement to sho!9dis"+ay detai+s that has to
$e "rocessed on+y at the end of the form "rocessin2.

)he indos in a page are processed from top to "ottom. So the execution first s+ips all the
Final indos and completes the processing of other indos. ,nce all the non-final indos
are processed, the Final indos are processed from top to "ottom.

For example if there is a re84irement to dis"+ay the tota+ (a+4e of a++ the items on the first
"a2e $4t the tota+ (a+4e is 5no!n on+y at the end of the form "rocessin23 e can use the
Final indo for displa!ing the total $alue. )he sum of line items is calculated in the MA&2
indo.

1:. What Is The Difference et!een Ta$+es # Tem"+ate ;ode?

Tem"+ate contains a fi1ed n4m$er of ro!s and co+4mns3 !here the o4t"4t is fi1ed !here as
a ta$+e can ha(e (aria$+e n4m$er of ro!s. Tem"+ates are a+so "referred !here there is a
need of "ro"er a+i2nment. )emplates are used to print ta"les hose la!out and ros are fixed
and +non "efore the application program runtime. %xample. )ax Forms

Tem"+ate is a static entity i.e. its dimensions cannot $e chan2ed at r4n time !hereas Ta$+e
is a dynamic entity i.e. its dimensions can $e chan2ed at r4n time. 3ence, "ased on the
data, it can last from one page to multiple pages. For line items displa!, normall! ta"le is used
"ecause one does not ha$e prior information a"out the num"er of line items and no of pages.

11. 'o! To Insert Or <"+oad =ra"hics In Smartforms?

6raphics node is used to insert compan! logos as ell as other graphics in an! part of the
smartform. (efore including a logo in a smartform, one m4st first 4"+oad the 2ra"hic from
the +oca+ PC system to SAP system 4sin2 S067 transaction. )he imported graphic/image must
"e of 7.(MP or 7.)&F extension.

12. Can >o4 Force A Pa2e rea5 Within Ta$+e ?oo" In Smart Forms? If >es3 'o!?

Create a +oo" aro4nd the ta$+e. P4t a Command node $efore the ta$+e in the +oo" that
forces a ;0WPA=0 on !hate(er condition yo4 !ant. )hen onl! loop through a su"set of the
internal ta"le ("ased on the conditions in the 1ommand node) of the elements in the )a"le
node.

1&. 'o! Do >o4 Create # Maintain Font Sty+e # Font Si@e <sed In Smartforms In SAP?

We can 4se Transaction SMARTST>?0S. 3ere e can create and maintain Paragraph formats
and character formats as per the re'uirement.

1-. Why SAP Scri"ts Are C+ient De"endent # Smartforms Are C+ient Inde"endent?

Smart Forms create its o!n f4nction mod4+e so it doesnBt need to trans"ort the re84est
thro42h SCC1. As a++ the De(e+o"ment O$Cect are stored in c+ient inde"endent
ta$+es. 8hereas SAP Script doesn:t generate an! function module hile executing so e need
to transport the re'uest num"er through S11;. Sa" Scri"t is stored inside the c+ient
de"endent ta$+e as a T0DT. So SAP Scripts are client dependent and Smart Forms are client
independent.

1/. 'o! Do >o4 Find The ;ame Of The F4nction Mod4+e For A Smartform? When Is This
F4nction Mod4+e Created?

The f4nction mod4+e for Smartform is created !hen the Smartform is acti(ated. 9ou can
find the name of the Function Module for a Smartform "! going to %n$ironment --@ Function
Module 2ame.

16. >o4 'a(e Created A Smartform In De(e+o"ment Ser(er. Then >o4 Trans"orted The
Smartform To Prod4ction Ser(er. Wi++ The ;ame Of The F4nction Mod4+e e Same In oth
The Ser(ers?

)he Smart Form that is created in the #e$elopment ma! not ha$e the same name in the
Production ser$er. So it is ala!s ad$ised to use the Function
Module GSSFFF<;CTIO;FMOD<?0F;AM0G to get the Function Module name "! passing the
