SRM 7.0 - customizing for print forms

Hi gurus,
we want to use adobe forms for print forms.
In customizing we are able to switch from smartforms to  adobe forms (sap note 1264423).
While we are encountering problem in configuring differents output actions  for certain documents: i.e. print different forms on basis of a value of an attribute that belong to the business object. We follow IMG documentation (in T. SPRO: SAP Supplier relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross Application basic settings -> Set output Actions and output Format -> Condition-Dependent Document Output) but conditions-dependent forms are not getting printed.
Please help me solving this issue.

Any help on this?

  • Create a new rule for printing form to use in time statement form

    Hello,
    we need to print an information on time statement form in dependence of a special substitution. Is there any possibility to create a new rule for printing form to use in time statement form? I can't find any information about this.

    Yes, I've tried this, but I get the error message:
    Form class TEDT can only be displayed with this editor.
    What am I doing wrong? Do I have to create a customer form class and assign a customer time statement form?

  • Installing and Configuring Adobe Document Services For Print Forms

    Hi,
    I want to use Adobe Document Services,for Print Forms Scenario,on ABAP side.
    I installed the Adobe document Services following the steps in the Installation Guide.I obtained the Credentials file and supplied it during installation.
    Then i followed the steps in the configuration Guide,except for the SSL connection part, as i have chosen Basic Authentication .
    The Web Service is running and on opening the home page,when i test the method rpData,it asks for Username and password,when i supply my username password it says, user does not have rights to method rpData.
    I even tried using J2ee Admin rights,user with SAP_ALL rights, and ADS_AGENT.
    When i test the service from ABAP side,using the RFC destination i created on Client 400,from where i want to use it, the test shows status code OK.
    When i test a form through transaction SFP,it asks for  USERNAME and password,which i tried as my USERID,ADMIN ID with SAP_ALL rights, even with the users i created during Configuration like ADS_AGENT, ADSUser etc.
    Our J2ee Engine is installed on Client 200,i installed the ADS on Client 200 and created the users ADS_AGENt(service user with role SAP_BC_FP_ICF) and ADSuser on Client 200.
    I also activated the ICF services and created the destination for the destination service using Visual Administrator.
    My Issues:
    1)To test the Webservice,what USER ID password needs to be supplied?Do i need some Special role or rights?
    2)During Configuration ,when i create a USer in SAP Web AS ABAP for Basic Authetication,after creating ADSCallers Role and assigning to ADSUSer ,in Visual Administrator,after selecting com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices*AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar ,under ADSCallers,i ama ble to see the both the users ADSUser(user in j2ee Engine for basic authentication ), and ADSUSER (user type system in ABAP),are visible,
    When try to add ADSUSEr by choosing ADD,from USER Tree , it doesn't do so.So i Added the ADScallers group instead,thus indirectly both users added.Can this be a Problem?
    3)What else do i need to do?Am i missing something?
    Please help.

    Hi all,
    I am having an issue in which my ecc could not use properly the ADS on the EP.
    I could properly execute FP_PDF_TEST_00 from se38 transaction which gives the correct version no of ADS.  Also I am able to get the correct version no by giving username and password at http://<J2EE_host>:<J2EE_port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config  which seems like the ADS is working properly in EP.
    However when the abaper is trying to run his form using spf like ZFORM_VENDOR  it is showing error like
    " Error during activation Message no. EU837 "
    Can you please shed some light on what all steps I need to check to ensure that ADS is working properly ?

  • Getting font problem for printing form in Production server.

    Hi experts,
                   We are getting problem while printing form in production server. As it gives no problem in Quality server while printing the same, the print is fine. We applied packages from 26 to 28 level for version 4.7. When we moved this packages to Production server we got problem of font while printing the form for some of scripts. But the surprise is that in Quality server the print is fine, no problem at all.
                  Can any one suggest me on this issue.
    Regards,
    Sagun Desai.

    Hi sagun,
    Please check the spool request generated on production server using tcode SP01.
    Goto dispaly spool request and check the spool.If the spool too displays your script correctly then there is a problem in printer connected to production server.
    The printer connected to the test server  might be rightly conffigured to print the output.Please check the settings of the printer connected to the production.
    Hope this helps.

  • Manipulation of Print form after generation

    I am using Adobe Forms as print forms within the SAP ERP 5.0 without WebDynpro.
    I have requirement that I need to manipulate the generated PDF file by adding additional attachment files to the PDF generated by the function module. Technically this seems to be possible by combining the different APIs as follows:
    1. Setting the output parameter GETPDF to 'X' while calling FP_JOB_OPEN and
    2. Getting the binary file from the /1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT object
    3. Then setting the binary to the IF_FP_PDF_OBJECT object via the SET_DOCUMENT method
    4. Adding the additional attachments via SET_ATTACHMENTS method.
    Is there smarter way to do this so that the attachment could be already added via the function modules?
    Is there any linkage between the function modules FP_* used for print forms and the classes  IF_FP_PDF_OBJECT that provide the ADS services?

    It seems that SAP has not even implemented the method IF_FP_PDF_OBJECT~SET_ATTACHMENTS in WebAS 6.40. It simply throws exception without doing anything.
    So it seems that the whole scenario is not even possible in NetWeaver 2004/Basis 6.40.
    On the question on why:
    In our scenario we need to attach additional PDF files (generated in external systems or scanned paper documents) to the print form produced by SAP. It seemed that the PDF attachments would provide solution for combining these external files with the form.
    The other alternative solution, that I have considered, is to "embed" the external documents to the form using the Image Field element in the layout. This is not really an option, because Image Field supports only BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG and TIFF - NOT PDF. Secondly, it's really designed for embedding fixed-size images to the form. In our case the scanned document can be 10 pages long.

  • How check for Printing Po

    Hi ,
         No output is generated when printing PO output. I check processing log and the following error message is displayed "Processing routine OLD_ENTRY_NEU.
    above is the defect i have received , can any one help me out how to check for printing PO out put and similarly check processing log .
    in which transaction i need to look for and how .
    thanks ,
    vinay .

    SAP standard program SAPFM06P (Printin for purtchase documents) has no routine OLD_ENTRY_NEU.
    Look at your old system, the may have modified the module pool and added this routine. The best way is to analyze the difference between SAP routine ENTRY_NEU and the called routine OLD_ENTRY_NEU. Then you could consider to do the same modification in your new system - I'd rather not do that.
    Better change customizing to SAP standard routine ENTRY_NEU and find a way to circumvent modification.
    Customizing for print programs and entry routines is done within purchasing - messages - message types.

  • Printing forms

    The information for printing forms is confusing to me. Please tell me exactly how to save a form as an Excel sheet and then be able to adjust the cells for printing, so i don't have hundreds of pages.  When I download "save as excel" it tells me it is the wrong format and I should open and save it differently.
    I don't know how to do that, because it does not let me open it. I don't know where I am saving it, to be able to open it.
    I am not used to all the computer info that others know.
    When I go to view, and print layout mode, it is tons of pages for 120 responses.  It only shows 3 or 4 cells on each page across for each person, and then on to the next page.
    I would like to see a list of all the responses, so I can check various things about each person's reservation.
    One help page, said to click the blue ruler to adjust settings..  Nothing happens when I click the blue ruler.
    I checked the Adobe pdf help,but I am still extremely confused.
    Does it make a difference if I am "contributor" instead of "co-author"?
    thanks.

    Message was edited by: Blueberry

    Thank you very much, Jeff. It actually opened up and the excel document came up as one page instead of two and I could adjust the Excel sheet. This was not working before.
    Here are some things happening which are confusing to me when I try it the next times.. I probably am saving the files incorrectly. What am I doing wrong?
    I click on the Response Sheet in Forms Central  Save as Excel.
    Save Responses Box opens:  says: File type: microsoft excel (.xls) in drop down box.
    Then the words converting appear.
    Then Save Responses Box opens:  says:  file type:  Microsoft Excel (.xls) greyed out so nothing to click there.
    Then it says:  click ok to save the .xls file.  When you open the file in Excel, you may see a warning that the format does not match the file extension. Click yes to open the file. Then save the file in Excel Workbook format .xls to avoid this in the future.
    So, I click "ok".
    No box comes up where I can click a "yes" as it says I should do above.
    "My Documents" folder opens up, and I rename the file to "Registration 25" so I can find it, and the drop down box for "save as type" has nothing to drop down, and won't let me type anything in it.
    So, I save the file by clicking the little "save" box in the lower right hand corner which I do for all my files.
    Then box opens:  Your file "Registration 25" was saved without the proper .xls extension and may not open.  Please rename the file where you saved it and add the extension.
    I clicked "close"
    Then I opened Excel and could not find the file.  i then searched my Word document files and there it was, so I renamed it "Registration 25.xls" and closed Word and reopened Excel and I could find it and open it.
    Why do I have to do all these steps?  Why did it not save in the Excel format?
    Excel 2007 is what I have.  Please help, as I am doing two events same weekend, with about 150 people each, one event with many options and an overnight, and need to print out all these details quickly.
    Thanks.

    Thank you very much Francois ,
    I appreciate your help.
    Yes i did found some examples FP_.
    This is the Application Program?
    As i can this programm call the form yes.
    I can see that these program has some code equal to all programs?
    Something like
    1.* First get name of the generated function module
      call function 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    2.* Now call the generated function module
      call function fm_name
    3.call function 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
        changing
    4.* Close spool job
      call function 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
    All the FP_  programms must have this functions?
    I had this error when i tried to run the project
    Call contained error(s): ADS (2)
    Message no. FPRUNX003
    Maybe this is because i must install the ADS?
    How can i understand if the ADS is installed to my system?
    If you have any tutorial where i can find ADS and how i can install it will help me.
    Also, what do you mean
    " if you'll need interactive forms later on you'll have to register a credential."?

  • Factors need for interactive forms by Adobe

    Hi All,
    Could anyone tell me the factors that would influence the efforts estimation and what are steps involved in during the development of interactive forms with Adobe.
    Regards,
    Sid

    Hi Sid,
    there is no simple answer to this question.
    Here are a few pointers on what to consider:
    - Depending on what you want to do, the development environment and your familiarity with it. The choice is there (Web Dynpro for Java and ABAP, transaction SFP for print forms, Guided Procedures, Internal Service Request, printing in BI), but how well do you know your way around the environment? (Don't forget, the form is only one small aspect of your application.)
    - Complexity of the form, and thus the need to script in Adobe LiveCycle Designer
    - Experience of the forms developer (SAP-internally we have seen differences of several factors)
    A simple interactive form can be done in 1-2 days including testing. With print forms, things become more complex with a medium-complexity form (a table, some scripting for business logic) taking about 7 days.
    <b>Most importantly</b>, please take this to heart:
    - A PDF form does not and cannot replace a full-fledged application. Most people don't realize that a form is in essence not a lot more than a user's view on (i.e. interface with) the system. The business logic is in the system, and should be limited in the form.
    - Of an overall business process using a PDF form, at most 20% is spent on forms development. The bulk of the work is the application (usually involving some sort of workflow) surrounding the form.
    Hope this helps,

  • Best Practice for PDF print forms based on SAP standard

    Hi,
    I have copied the SAP standard PDF form F_D_INT_SCALE_00 to a Z form, and am using it in conjunction with the standard print program RFDZIS01_PDF.  However I need to output some additional fields that are not supplied by the print program / interface (for example Customer VAT number).
    What is the best practice for achieving this?  As far as I can see the only way is to take a copy of the standard print program and modify it to select the extra data, and modify the interface.  I never like taking copies of standard programs though for obvious reasons.
    If I had this requirement with a smartform it would be a simple case of embedding ABAP code into the Z smartform and leaving the print program alone, but unfortunately there is no provision for the non-PDF version of the Interest Letter to be sent by email.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vindaloo

    Thanks for your reply Robert.
    However I think you are referring to Smartforms when you mention Code Initialization and Global Data declarations.  I need to know the best way to modify copies of standard Adobe Print Forms.

  • How do we create a custom format for printed contact information?

    We are trying to create a custom family directory for genealogical purposes.  Family members are individually saved as Outlook 2010 contacts with a special number field that (when parsed) designates their generation, birth order,
    and relationship to parents.  The directory listing is by family and needs to indent names, addresses, emails, and other information by generation. In other words, children's names follow parent names and are indented.  Likewise, grandchildren are
    listed under their parents, but also indented from parents.
    Do we need to create a custom display form, some type of custom print template, or do we need to program a merge of some sort?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    From the description, you want to print the contacts in Outlook using a custom display form, so that you can use it to create a custom family directory, correct?
    If this is the case, I'm afraid there is no direct way to print forms as they appear on the custom display form. Outlook can only print forms with the options that are available in the Print window. While you can customize the Print Style settings using
    the various options Outlook provides in its user interface, you cannot alter the basic way that Outlook prints by using custom Print Styles.
    To work around this limitation, you can either use another program to print Outlook information, or you can download a ActiveX control or Outlook extension to create a custom form printing solution.

I dont want print preview. Since i need to use this custom function module in my worklfow. If its a smartform i can hide the print preview nodialogue = 'X'. But there is no such option in Adobe form. How can i achieve this. Am using ABAP not webdynpro.

    Answer there is a function module FP_JOB_OPEN which is used to hide print preview, dialog and so on. This function module only i was looking on. I got by myself.

  • Export database information into pdf forms for printing

    I'm hoping that this is doable and isn't extremely hard.
    I have an access database that contains customer information.  From this information I would like to export it into an existing pdf form (for each individual customer) and save it for printing at a later time.
    Is this possible?
