Processing Form Classes 

Purpose

Creating and processing form classes

Prerequisites

To process a form class you have to

·        Know the processes of the Print Workbench

·        Have good ABAP programming knowledge

·        Know the data model of the underlying application

·        Have reconciled the data mode to the requirements of a document

Process Flow

Due to constant further development of the related application, form classes are themselves constantly developing. Once a form class has been created, it should be applied and tested using your application forms.
Since form classes represent interfaces, you should avoid changes to the form class hierarchy or the assigned structures, or at least check them precisely since incompatible change could invalidate productive application forms.

Result

If a form class has the status Active, you can use it for developing application forms.
