Sample Forms (Application Forms)

Usage

The following explains how you to handle the creation of forms in an implementation project. Within the IS-U/CCS Efficiency Project we have determined that some customers did not access the SAP standard sample forms when creating forms.

In many cases customers did not even know that sample forms are delivered with the SAP print workbench, or how to access these sample forms.

A sample form is delivered per form class for the most important existing form classes within IS-U/CCS and FI-CA. Following the system installation, you can find the sample forms in your client 000.

Activities

To do this, log onto your development client and call transaction EFRM for processing forms. From the menu, select Start of the navigation path Utilities Next navigation step Copy from Client… End of the navigation path and enter client 000 in the following dialog box.

Select ( Transfer ). The system goes to client 000 and displays all the sample forms from client 000. You can now copy the sample form you require into your development client and continue working on it there.

Recommendation Recommendation

Always use a sample form when starting activities involving forms in the implementation project. This considerably reduces the implementation time, when compared to the time required to create a form without using a sample.

You must also observe that, as of Release 4.71, SAP offers Smart Forms as an alternative to SAPscript. This means that, in future releases, SAP will also deliver sample forms for Smart Forms, and will focus more on this technology.

End of the recommendation.
