Adobe Forms in a Travel scenario

Question

Hi masters.
I'm here to ask you about some solution to the following scenario:
The company have 500 travelers who need to create trip requests on SAP, but they don´t have SAP users, how can I use SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe to solve this issue ?

Answer 1

Hello,
Note: the following ideas are the technical ones and I am not sure if they would pass a SAP licensing terms.
a) the licensing of SAP Adobe forms offers few different models, one is per user per form and I believe you don´t need a SAP users for this one. In fact it would not make sense if you would need SAP users because the goal of adobe forms - help "non SAP users" interact with the SAP system through some automatic interface - would not work
b) as mentioned, you can use ESS/MSS
c) you can use Adobe Acrobat the use is limited to 500 users, you can pick the requests this way and upload them into SAP
d) you can use some custom developed portal to gather the requests and through one service user and the interface send all of them into the SAP system
e) you can develop a custom application based on the Interactive forms (created by LCD/ Acrobat) using itext to dig the data out of the forms and send them like in d)
For example, I am sure there are plenty of other ways.
