Print Form (FPM Form Type Only)

This function is applicable for FPM forms only. You can use this function to create the Digital Personnel File (DPF) and print FPM forms.

Prerequisites

You have made the following settings:

You have activated the business Function HCM_ASR_CI_5.
You have maintained and activated the event linkage for DPF in transaction SWETYPV for processes with the status Complete.
You have set entry GEN_PDF with the value 'X’ in the customizing activity for Settings Settings for HCM Processes and Forms under HR Administrative Services.

Features

The system creates digital personnel files when the process status is set to Complete; it triggers an event which generates a PDF file with the data from the last step of the process.

Note Note

Note that FPM forms cannot be directly stored as digital personnel files. A PDF file is first generated using the data from the FPM form and stored in the DPF as records. You will have to define the PDF file format in the Print Form template under Design Time tool.

End of the note.
