AR Correspondence - Linking Form ID to Correspondence type

Question

Hi SAP Gurus,
Can anyone let me know how to link a Form ID to a correpondence type in Accounts Receivable. Is it through report variant?
This is what I have done so far,
Under SPRO>Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable>Customer Accounts>Line Items>Correspondence>Make and Check Settings for Correspondence
1. Defined three custom correspondence types.
2. Assigned the same program "RFKORD11" for the three correspondence types. However I assigned three different variants for them.
3. Assigned three different custom forms for the same program RFKORD1, with three Form IDs.
The question I have is how to link form IDs to the correspondence types. Is it through report variant? if yes, where do I assign the Form ID in the variant. I tried the program RFKORD11 under SE38; but could not find the field to assign the form ID.
Thank you,
Ram

Hello,
You can find the Customizing path to the correspondence under:           
Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings ->          
Correspondence.                                                                               
The creation of correspondences is controlled via the correspondence     
type. Each correspondence type is assigned a print report as well as     
a variant of this report (caution: correspondence type and variant       
often have the same name but are completely different things). The       
forms are then assigned to the individual print reports. The balance     
confirmation uses no correspondence types.                                                                               
o  Customizing: Assign Programs for Correspondence Types (V_T048B,       
    transaction OB78)                                                                               
In this table, you can assign a print report and the                  
    corresponding variant to each correspondence type. If a               
    correspondence type has been assigned to a company code, this         
    correspondence type has priority.           
    The following correspondence types are delivered in the standard      
    system: SAP01 - SAP18, SAP50 - SAP58, SAP60 and other                 
    country-specific correspondence types such as SAPQ1, SAPJ1 and so     
    on.                                                                               
o  Customizing: Define Form Names for Correspondence Print               
    (V_001F_B)                                                                               
In this table, you can assign a form to each print report. You        
    can make a division per print report ID according to a form ID.       
    The ID form corresponds to the form set specified in the variant.                                                                               
If a form is assigned to a print report for a certain company         
    code, this has priority.                                              
CoCd   Corr.type   Print report  Variant  F-ID    Form                                                                               
SAP06       RFKORD10      SAP06            F140_ACC_STAT_01     
        SAP08       RFKORD10      SAP08            F140_ACC_STAT_01     
        ZABC        RFKORD10      ABC08     AB     Z140_ACC_ABC         
1000   SAP08       ZFKORD10      ZAP08            Z140_ACC_D3                                                                               
Alternatively, you can find out the print report by calling the ABAP 
   debugger. The alternative for finding out the used form is calling   
   the SAPscript debugger. You can activate the SAPscript debugger in   
   transaction SE71 under 'Utilities -> Activate debugger'.             
Standard formats  for RFKORD11 are:
SAP13 Customer statement (single statement)   RFKORD11 F140_CUS_STAT_02 
SAP14 Open item list with pmt advice (single) RFKORD11 F140_CUS_STAT_02 
SAP16 Open item list with pmt advice (assoc.) RFKORD11 F140_CUS_STAT_04
You can select the form on the variant in the option "Form set".
