What is SmartForms ?
SAP Smart Forms is new print solution introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool
for creating and maintaining f o m s to Print the Business Documents such as Experience
Letters,Offer Eetters,Purchase Brders,Sales Orders.
In One word , SmartForms is the Smartest way to work with Forms.
Note : All the SAP Script (Old Solution for Printing Forms) functionalities are still
Possible in SMARTFORMS .
Note : Event SAP Scripts can be converted into Smart Forms Also. ?

Structure of a Form
A form consists of pages, output areas, addresses, graphics (such as company logo, Scanned
Signature Of HR Manager), and data or text contents. Within an output area, you can use static
or dynamic tables to display data or texts in lines, columns, or cells. To further structure and
format text and data, use paragraphs with the paragraph and character formats. In SAP we call
output areas as Windows.
A Form Consists Of :
i) Main Window
ii) Secondary Window
iii) Copies Window
iv) Copies Window
You can position windows anywhere on a page, even overlapping. You can position the
same window (determined by the technical name on several pages of a form, so that the same
contents are displayed on all these pages. You can choose a different size for the window on
each page, except for the main window (Height Should be same in all the Pages).

Main Window
In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon
as a main window is completely filled , the system continues displaying the text in the main
window of the Same Pagelnext page. It automatically triggers the page break.
You can define only one window in a form as main window. AND the Same MAlN Window can be
Placed up to 99 times on the same page which ranges from MAllVOO to MAIN98.The Data on
MAlN Window always starts printing from MAIN00 and after Completely filled the text will be
extended to MAIN01 , MANIN02 etc.
Note : The main window must have the same width on each page and with in page also when
MAIN01,MAIN02 exists, but the height can differ. -e ~
&&$
Note : A page without main window must not call itself as next page, sin$E?fhis would trigger an
endless loop: In such a case, the system automatically
Note : MAIN Window is used to Print the Dynamic Length

Items, Sales Order Items etc
Note : Text and data that do not fit int

SniartForms@eMAX
Note : We can use the system fields SFSY-COPYCOUNT or SFSY-COPYCOUNTO to query whether
the current output is the original or, respectively, which number the copy has.
e If you mark identical Copies SAP Smart Forms buffers the output to increase
performance. Within such a window, any queries of the system fields SFSY-
COPYCOUNT or SFSY-COPYCOUNTO Rave no effects.
If you mark Different Copies SAP Smart Forms generates the contents again for each
copy. You use this option if, for example you want to number your copies consecutively
(Copy 1, Copy 2, Copy 3, and so on).
Final Window : You may want to display or query values on the first page that are
determined only during processing. For example, you may want to name the grand total in the
letter text of an invoice. However, this amount is determined only after listing all individual items.
Or you may want to query on the first page within a condition the total number of pages, which
the system calculates only after processing all pages.

Note : When you activate the Smart Form, the system generates a unique function module that
encapsulates all attributes of the Smart Form. As soon as the application program calls the
function module, the Smart Form uses the module's interface (which corresponds to the form
interface) to transfer data from Program to Layout.

Note : We Can still write all the data retrieval statements to select further data during form
processing. However, we should not use this method of data retrieval. Especially When We print
mass forms, performance will be degraded considerably.

Calculating Subtotals
You want to display subtotals after a sort level break of a sort criterion. So that Make
Sure that the Internal Table is Sorted based on the required Fields.
Sort Criteria in Table:
Before you start reading an internal table, you can tell SAP Smart Forms to sort it. With
the sorting, you can divide the table into different sort levels:
-
1 st Sort Criterion
2 n d Sort Criterion
3rd Sort Criterion
Beginning of
Sort Level
(Event on Sort Begin)
(of 1st Sort Criterion)
End of Sort Level

(Event on Sort End)
cords and to display subtitles or subtotals at the
g of your internaLtable, use the Data tab of the table or loop node.
In the sort Crit box you can enter the fields by which to sort the table.
The sequence in which you enter the field names into the table control determines the sort
sequence. To change it at a later time, use the black arrows above the control. Use the radio
buttons to choose whether to sort the field in ascending or in descending order.
Note : To display data(Sub Totals) before or after a sort level, mark Event on Sort
Begin andlor Event on Sort End. In the navigation tree, an event node appears for
which you can create inferior nodes. In these inferior nodes you specify the data you want
to display at this event (for example, subtotals).

B 1 Templates in DeQail(StaticTable) ".

The layout of a template is static, which means that you determine it before the Smart Form is
executed. To do this, you can define line types in the Table Painter, whose sequences and
appearances are the same as in the output.
Line Types for Templates :

The layout of a template is static, which means that you determine it before the Smart Form is
executed. To do this, you can define line types in the Table Painter, whose sequences and
appearances are the same as in the output. Describing a template with line types could look like
this:
The output of thi hich only three different line types

are used:
Line type L1 for the first two line of the template. The Table Painter shows the interval in
the bracket after the name of the line type.
Line type L2 for the third line of the template. This line type has a different fixed line
height.

SmartForms@eMAX
- -
Line type L3, which is no line type of its own, but only a reference to L1. The Table
Painter shows the name of the reference line type below the name of the line type.
Line type L4 for the fifth line.
Note: By specifying an interval you can use one line type for several subsequent lines of the
template. By specifying a reference you can reuse any existing line type at any position of the
template. You can make changes only to the 'master' line type.
Note: Unlike with line types for tables, for templates you specify a fixed line height for the line
type. Any output that does not fit into a cell is truncated.
Printing Templates: Use node type Template to display a table whose layout and size

Smart Style in Detail :

Smart Style is the collection of re-usable Paragraph and Character Formats.
Page 3 1 of 85 Compiled By : Ganapati Adimulam

Note : A Smart Style must be assigned to each Smart Form. Can be done globally for the
entire Smart Form in the form attributes. In addition, you can assign a Smart Style locally to a
node, for example, a text node. This assignment then applies for the entire subtree and overrules
the global settings.
A Smart Style contains :
e Header data containing the default values(Paragraph) of a Smart Style

Paragraph formats including indents and spacing, font attributes, tabs, and outline and
numbering
Character formats including effects (superscript, subscript), barcode and font attributes

Migrating SAPscript Ifoams".~~delivers Smart Forms for important business

processes. If for your needs no such standard forms exist or if you have your own SAPscript
forms, you can use two tools to migrate them.
Individual Migration
When converting a SAPscript style into a Smart Style, the system converts all paragraph and
character formats with all their properties and attributes without any changes. Thus you can use
the converted Smart Style without making any adaptations.
Note : The system does not migrate the print program (data retrieval) or the form logic contained
in the print program. You must make the required changes to the respec
yourself.

Mass Migration of SAPscript Forms
1. Execute the Standard Program SF-MIGRATE.

2. Select the names and the language of the SAPscript forms and choose Execute.
The system creates the Smart Forms under the names of the SAPscript forms plus
the extension -SF and It also displays a list of the migrated forms.
Form Logic: In the Form Builder you describe a Smart Form by a set of nodes.
To do this, you build up a tree structure on the left side of the user
interface:
es of a node according to other rules (for example, in a loop).
You use the form logic to control the flow of the form output. The following rules apply throughout:
1. The nodes in the tree structure are processed from top to bottom. This is easier to
understand.
2. For each node there is a tab page, which you can use to link the node to a condition. If
the condition is true, the system processes the node. If not, it skips the node and all its
inferior nodes.
3. You must define a next page for each page. However, you can also go to other pages
dynamically .

SmartForms@eMAX
Example for Form Logic

The diagram below shows the tree structure of the root node Pages and Windows:

When a Smart Form is Created, the tree structure of the Form Painter already contains two root
nodes: 1.e i) Global Settings ii) Pages and Windows.
You use the inferior nodes of the Global Setfings node to maintain Form Attribufes, the
Form Interface, and Global Definitions.
You use the inferior nodes of the Pages and Windows node to create the pages of your
form, position elements on these pages, and determine the sequence in which you want
to process these elements.
