Seperate Adobe Form printing for each order

Hi,
I have a scenario where i need to print Adobe Form for each order.
Right now i am handling this from print program(Executable) by looping at the Adobe form FM for each order.
So it will print seperate Adobe form for each order with corresponding Header & Item Data.
To get next order i need to hit on right & last arrows etc...
So right now i am handling it through Print Program.
Is there any way it can be handled directly at Adobe Form level.
By passing all orders to Adobe FM at a time (Intsead of looping) and handling Adobe Form printing for each order at Adobe Form level itself!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Kumar.

simple,
create one new program not driver program . Then u have to call that FORM
1.Get all the data created during the dates.
split the data into , based on the date ranges.
2.
loop at itab1.
perform open_form
write_form
close_form
endloop.
loop at itab2.
endloop.
1) I need to print the form automatically when an Order is created.---->COnfig
2) Every June 15th and Dec 15th I need to print the form for that Order
automatically with some other data.
---> what ? what u split ?
*--Similarly I need to trigger the form in this way automatically for all Orders.
---> Config+ABAP
How can I trigger the Form automaticall for the above requirement

Formatting Long Text gets disturbed during Adobe form Printing

Hi Guru's,
I have developed Adobe Form for PM work Orders (IW32) printing using Code u2018SFPu2019. The Order Contains order Long Text or Operation Long Text.
In my case the user maintains some table like structure in the Long text .e.g. ( Here the tab means the actual space and the text length can vary. So basically he will draw a table cells one below another by adjusting tab's)
Text 2 Tab Tab |___|___|
Te TabTab Tab |___|___|
I am reading this using READ_TEXT and it gets perfectly read.( I mean the tab positions will be intact. Also it will remain intact by the time ADS will get called)
When i submit this for generating Adobe Form the formatting of the tab positions gets disturbed and it prints something like
Text 2 |___|___|
Te |___|___|
How to keep the Tab positions intact while printing the Adobe Form? For SAP script printing it comes perfectly but for Adobe form printing it gets disturbed. Any idea how to handle this situation?
Thanks
Pradeep

Tough request!
You have to calculate the widths of texts so that to determine to which tab position refers each tab character.
You might print the sapscript to OTF format, and read the OTF to get the exact positions (based on top left border of the page).
But now comes the second big issue: how to position a text in Adobe form at a dynamic position. That, I don't know. You might ask a question about this 2nd issue in forum

Adobe Form print/email - Attach IXOS .tif images via string table param?

I am attempting to create an Adobe Form print/e-mail output for Invoices, with zero, one or many attached pages from the IXOS archive. (TIFF files.) So far I have managed to attach exactly one IXOS image. Now I need to make the number of attached images dynamic.
This is in Netweaver 7.0 / ECC 6.0 ehp 3 / LiveCycle Designer 8.1.
My ABAP driver program is a copy of SD_INVOICE_PRINT01. In pseudocode, I've added:
Logic to identify correct IXOS image.
Logic to extract IXOS image to application server's file system.
OPEN DATASET image.tif FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
READ DATASET image.tif INTO xstring.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSFC_BASE64_ENCODE' EXPORTING xstring IMPORTING string.
APPEND string TO string_table.
CALL FUNCTION form_name EXPORTING attachments = string_table.
The form interface is a copy of INVOICE_INTERFACE (ABAP dictionary-based.) I've added import param. ATTACHMENTS type STRING_TABLE.
In the form's context tab, interface import param. ATTACHMENTS was dragged & dropped onto the context pane, yielding:
- Table ATTACHMENTS
-- Structure DATA
--- Field ITEM.
In Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1, I *can* create an image field with binding ATTACHMENTS.DATA[1].ITEM - that prints the TIFF from IXOS just fine.
What *does not* work is placing ATTACHMENTS on the form as a table of image fields. I've tried several combinations - most look like this:
- Table or Subform ATTACHMENTS, binding ATTACHMENTS, repeat for each data item max = 1.
-- Row or Subform DATA, binding DATA[*], repeat for each data item min = 1.
--- Image field ITEM, binding ITEM.
The result is consistently one blank page. No more, no less.
Can anyone help?

Hello,
I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
Would be better than nothing I guess,

Generating an IDOC for each Order present in the file (File to IDOC)

Hi ,
I have a requirement where in i have to generate an idoc for each orders present in a file . Initially i had implemented 1:N mapping by changing the occurence of idoc to 1..unbounded & using it as external definition i was able to generate multiple idocs.
But now the requirement is that even if one record contains invalid data , then XI shoul process remaining records(which has valid data) & then raise an alert for the invalid record . I have implemented this approach by using BPM (splitting the message) & the sending out each record as a single message to (1:1 mapping between file & IDOC).
But now they dont want me to use an BPM . They want me to come up with an approach using 1:N mapping only where in i can make sure that the mappig doesnt fail even if there is one invalid record ,they want me to process remaining records & raise an alert for the invalid one .
As far as i know this cant be done without BPM . Please let me know any valuable suggestions or inputs if there is any
Regards
Vinay P.

Hi Vinay,
Had a similar requirement few days back..
What we did was to do a multimapping of 1:N where N = N1 and N2, N1 is the Idocs which you are doing today, N2 is the set of invalid records...
Now we have written this as a file and then created another interface which will pick the file and based on the name of file we decided the To address. We have used mail package and this interface (file to mail ) was made as a generic one so that it can be used across many interfaces...
filename and To address relationship was maintained as a value mapping in ID... You can have a thought of this approach and try to send the invalid records as a mail rather than alert.

Getting Total Order Cost for each order

I have a fact table, order lines.
There are two dimension tables, customer & Product.
For each order i want to display on a pivot table:
- the cost of the line.
-the cost of the total order.
Is this possible? I have been playing with ALL & All except but have not found a solution yet. some metadata is below
CustomerID CustomerName
1 john
2 mary
3 jim
4 kevin
ProductID ProductName Price
1 pen 5
2 cup 4
3 car 7
4 phone 3
OrderLineID CustomerID ProductID Quantity
1 1 2 2
1 1 3 2
2 2 1 4
3 1 2 5
3 1 2 4
3 4 4 6
4 4 4 6

Hi Winston,
Could you kindly provide an example of the output you'd expect based on the above data? Also, I've noticed that there is no OrderID column in the order line table. How would you determine which OrderLineIDs belong to a single order?

Michael Amadi

Can it be a seperate cost component structure for each company code?

Company Code No 1 Setting:
Company Code XXXX with Chart of accounts X(Quantity + Value updation in material type)
In the existing company code(XXXX) ,Cost component structure is defined as
All company code---->All Plants----> All Costing Variants -
>Cost component Structure AA
Company Code No 2 Setting:
Scenario:
Now I am creating a new company Code YYYY) which is is allowed for quantity updation alone and trying to create a product cost collector to carry out Production confirmation through Repetetive manufacturing (."Error = Cost object component split costed with Value of Zero"
Can it be possible to have a seperate cost component structure for each company Code?
Company Code YYYY with Chart of accounts Y which is different from Company code 1(Quantity alone in material type)
If possible ,Can anybody provide a procedure to do the configuration of Cost Component structure

Hello,
As I understand your question, All the thing which are releted to costing are done only at the controlling area level not at company code.
As your req diffrent cost componenet for diffrent company code is depend up on how you define the controlling area.
Hope it will clear you

Adobe Form - Print page at the end for every record of a Z table with Text

Hello friends, I am facing a challenging here and I need to develop the following below. Mind you, I don't have much exposure/experience with Adobe Forms
Scenario: Standard REAL ESTATE Contract Form
I have a Z table containing RENTAL OBJECTS, in my case 3 records and I want, at the end of the form print one page like below to each record that i have in my Z table.
"Dear Z-field1 one, regarding your contract for Z-field2, Address Z-field3, blah blah blah"
In essence, print a page for each one of them at the end, with the text above using the fields from the z table.
I searched the forum and couldn't find any thing like it.
If someone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Marco

Hi Marco,
You must be having the ztable fields in the context or in the data heirarchy of the adobe form.
Assume that your main form is on the page1.
Create a table bound to ztable with 3 rows in it and make it invisible on the form.
Below the form create 3 pages page2, page3 and page4.
Create a ISR text display and on the initialise event write the code such as:
this.rawValue = data.page1.Table2.Row1.Cell1.rawValue;
Create as many ISR texts as you want and initialize it using the above method.
Page1
form
Page2
Row1 values
Page3
Row2 Values
Page4
Row3 Values
Hope this helps.

Form routine for sales order adobe forms

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement to create z adobe forms for sales order for customized output type.
When i checked, there is no form routine designed for calling the adobe forms.
So, i am planning to copy the standard print program which is available for script and smartforms and creating a z form routine to include the function modules for calling the adobe form.
Can any one please let me know whether have you worked in any of the same kind of situations and my apporach is ok or anything else can be done.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabu

Hello,
Plz check your caller program for the same and just find out the output type. for that purpose use the Tcode: NACE for finding the output type than proceed accordingly.

Adobe Form - Print choice of bold or not bold font

We have an Adobe form that prints sales order line items that are followed by their scheduling data (if any). So, each order line item could be followed with one or more scheduling line items or none. Example:
(Order line) 10 9055450 7,000 EA <other data>
(Schedule lines Expected Ship Date: 5,000 EA 05/30/2011
 for the order line) Expected Ship Date: 2,000 EA 07/16/2011
This is working fine using a subform but now we want to print the scheduling line items either as bold or not bold depending on some logic. So, we want this:
(Order line) 10 9055450 7,000 EA <other data>
(Schedule lines Expected Ship Date: 5,000 EA 05/30/2011
 for the order line) Expected Ship Date: 2,000 EA 07/16/2011
We have an indicator set for each scheduling line item that indicates if the schedule line is to be printed as bold or not bold (schedules-bold_line = u2018Xu2019).
Is there any way to override the font settings in the Layout using Script Editor?
Weu2019ve tried using Script Editor (at a upper level subform) to set the presence (hidden/visible) of two different subforms (one to print as bold and one not bold) but that printed both subforms.
Weu2019ve tried using Alternative nodes (true/false) that check the bold line indicator. This works but it prints the wrong data because there are direct binding references to multiple levels of repeating data. That is, instead of printing the schedule lines for order line item 10, it prints the schedule line items for order line item 20.
(Order line) 10 9055450 7,000 EA <other data>
(Schedule line Expected Ship Date: 1,000 EA 06/01/2011
 for the next order line)
How would I use relative binding in Alternative nodes?
Is there a better method to accomplish this task?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Radhika - Thank you so much for your answer! You helped me find the solution. I ended up using FormCalc and this is the code that worked in the Ready Layout event of the EXPECTEDSHIPDATE subform :
data.BODY_PAGE.TABLE.ITEM_VALUES.ZLINE.TEXTSUBFORM.EXPECTEDSHIPDATE::ready:layout - (FormCalc, both)
if ( $.BOLD_LINE_IND[*] == "X" ) then
$.ShipQty[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.ShipQty[*].caption.font.weight = "bold"
$.DelvDate[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.UOM[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.PlantName[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.PlantName[*].caption.font.weight = "bold"
else
$.ShipQty[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.ShipQty[*].caption.font.weight = "normal"
$.DelvDate[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.UOM[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.PlantName[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.PlantName[*].caption.font.weight = "normal"
endif
The EXPECTEDSHIPDATE subform is bound to the Schedules table that contains ShipQty, etc. The BOLD_LINE_IND field contains the value that toggles the print between bold and normal.
The key to making this work was to correctly format the condition and code and to find the right event to place the code in.
Thanks again for your help!

Adobe form - Printing images dynamically

I have created a simple read-only (not interactive) Adobe form. At the end of the document, I need to print a signature depending upon the approver (which I can access from the data structure imported into the form.).
If I create an image field, how do I assign the image dynamically depending on the approver?
I have thought of an alternative solution of creating 3 separate forms each with a static image of the signature and calling a separate form in the program depending on the approver. But I was wondering if I can assign images dynamically so that I can have only one form.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Form Print Problem - Header is cut off without print preview

We are currently experiencing a problem when trying to print Adobe forms. We have created several forms and are experiencing the same issue with all forms. The issue occurs when we are trying to print a form. If we choose a print preview prior to printing, the form looks normal and prints fine. However, if we do a direct print (i.e. no print preview), then the top part of the form is cut off. It's almost like all of that data on the form gets shifted upward, cutting off about 1/2" to an 1" from the top of the form. We have tried printing to different printers and are ending up with the same results each time. We do not experience this issue with SAPScript.
I have searched several threads and haven't been able to find an issue quite like the one we are experiencing.
Has anyone ever exeperienced a problem like this before?
Currently using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1.2 and are on Netweaver 7.00 EhP1.
Thank you for any help.

I am going to go ahead and close this thread as I believe we have found a solution. Sai is correct that there is an issue with the design.
If anyone else runs into this problem, take a look at note 968394 that talks about differences between print preview and printing from spool. When you are in the print preview dialog box, under "Page Scaling," the default is "Shrink to printable area." So if your form went outside the margins, it would shrink to fit giving you the impression that the problem is not with the print preview rather than the form itself.
After moving the header stuff down a bit everything is printing normal both through the spool and via print preview.
Thank you!

Adobe Form via RFC - spool order

Hello experts.
When I'm calling an Adobe Form via RFC I'm not getting the spool order in the target system. The Form is issued with:
fp_outputparams-device = 'PRINTER'.
fp_outputparams-NODIALOG = 'X'.
fp_outputparams-DEST = '5175'.
fp_outputparams-REQNEW = 'X'.
fp_outputparams-REQIMM = 'X'.
fp_outputparams-COPIES = '001'.
If I call the Form function within the target system, the spool order is created.
I'm doing something wrong? Or the spool order could not be created via RFC function call?
Thank you a lot!

There are no exceptions regarding the RFC call. I'm starting to believe that with this approach, I won't get a spool request. Hopefully that isn't a problem for my company.
I'll leave the question unanswered in case anyone comes up with a well-funded answer.
Regards,
Andrés Sarcevic.
