Cover Sheet Template (DBV) (SAP Library

Cover Sheet Template (DBV)

Definition

Cover sheet templates define the layout of cover sheets (accompanying letters, for example) used for reports.

You create cover sheets in the same way as report templates using a modified version of Microsoft Word (Windows Wordprocessor Integration (WWI)) and various symbol types (see Report Template (SBV)).

Cover sheets are always expanded completely in one generation run. There are no intermediate stages.

Usage

Since cover sheet templates are always expanded completely (there are no cover sheet bodies), the system only expands symbol types with an expansion time > 10.

See Expansion Time

To be able to generate a cover sheet template, you must have carried out the following steps in Customizing for Product Safety:

In the IMG activity Check Shipping Reasons, set the cover sheet indicator.
In the IMG activity Assign Templates: Cover Sheets/Acknowledgements of Receipt, make the assignments as required.
