Implementing Inbound Processing for Interactive Offline Forms

Context

Once you have configured inbound processing of interactive offline forms (for sending by e-mail), you must implement the methods for inbound processing. You can execute a generated function module, which transforms the received data into input values.

Procedure


  1. Create an ABAP class that implements the interface IF_FP_OFFLINE.

  2. Implement the method HANDLE_PDF.

    This method contains the following input parameters:

    • Form name

    • Portable Document Format (PDF)

    • Data in XML form

  3. For interactive e-mail forms based on the ABAP DDIC interface, transform the XML data extracted from the PDF back to the associated form interface parameters as follows:

    1. Determine the name of the function module generated by the system (for the transformation) by using the function module FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME.

      The system specifies the name in the export parameter EV_FUNCNAME_INBOUND.

    2. Execute the function module to transform the XML data into form interface parameters.
