Printing a Record

Use

You can print the record and, optionally, also print its attributes, log and any inserted documents.

Prerequisites

If you want to use your own form for printing, you need to enter the name of this form under the connect parameter TEMPLATE_REC_PRINT in the corresponding element type in the Service Provider for records. If you do not make an entry here, the system will revert to the standard setting, selecting the smart form SRM_RECORD_PRINT_FORMULAR. For more information, see Service Provider for Record.

Procedure

In the Records Browser menu, choose Start of the navigation path Record Next navigation step Print End of the navigation path . You have the following options:

Print Record: You print the attributes and the overview tree for the record. Model nodes are displayed as an unfilled rhombus, and elements are displayed as a filled rhombus.
Print Record (Including Log): You print the attributes, the overview tree, and the record log.
Print Record + Documents: You print the attributes and the overview tree of the record, and the documents that are contained in the record (including their attributes).

Note

To print documents, an external conversion server must be connected to the SAP system by means of RFC. The conversion server must support the XDC interface. Only formats that are supported by the conversion server can be printed. Documents in non-supported formats are not printed. In this case, the system does not display an error message.

A new print request is created for each document. The parentheses around all requests form a composite request.

Each new page of the printout contains the record number.
Print Record (Including Log + Documents): You print the attributes, the overview tree, and the log of the record, and the documents that are contained in the record (including their attributes).
