 Form Creation

Use

You create a form based on a template.

Prerequisites

You have defined and registered the required form templates. For more information, see Defining and Registering Templates .

Features

When you create a form in the Structures Workbench , the system:

  1. Checks whether you are authorized to create forms (BAdI method AUTHORITY_CHECK )

  2. Determines the data to be transferred to the selected form and creates the form as a PDF file (BAdI method GENERATE_CHECKLIST ) automatically

    Example Example

    An example of this method is available in the example implementation.

    End of the example.

  3. Downloads the PDF file from the ERP system to the selected target directory automatically

    The file name is created in the format <Form Name><BOR Object Key><Time of Generation>.pdf . If the form name has a prefix with a slash (/), the name is adjusted.

    Once the download has been completed successfully, the runtime data is stored in the table /ISDFPS/SV_RUN.

  4. Generates the workflow event GENERATED (BOR object /ISDFPS/SV)

  5. Automatically determines and downloads additional documents that belong to the selected form and that should be available together with the PDF file (BAdI method GET_ADDITIONAL_DOCUMENTS )

  6. Carries out postprocessing (BAdI method POST_PROCESSING )
