Preparing Inbound Processing for Interactive Offline FormsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can create interactive PDF forms and send the prefilled forms to customers electronically (by e-mail) so that they can enter data. Once the completed forms have been returned, the data undergoes inbound processing (extraction and forwarding) in the SAP system.

Note

Inbound processing only supports form templates for interactive forms that are created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer .

Example

Customers receive a form by e-mail, they enter their current electricity meter reading, and return the completed form.

Prerequisites

You have created the form template for the interactive e-mail form and prepared the call of the corresponding function module in the application program.
