Changes in standard form

Hello,
I have a standard transaction MI21 for physical inventory.
I need to change the standard form and attached back to this transaction.My first query is how to find the form name in standard program? program name is RM07IDRU.
Can i copy the original form in zform and make a changes and attach it back to standard program.
How to do this?
Please let me know as its an urgent.
Waiting for positive reply.
Thanks

Forms are INVENT and INVENT_VKBW you can use either of these accrding to your requirement.
But if you copy it to Z form then you will be needed to copy the program and then change form names in OPEN_FORM.

Regarding Changes in Standard forms

Can anyone say what we usually change in the standard scripts?That is In MEDRUCK ,RVDELNOTE,RVINVOICE.In what case we will change these forms ? And what we change in these standard forms?Can anyone say it in detail?

Hello on the projects you usually has to change the layout and add the data retrieval into the SF, generally I do not know the client that accepts fully the standard SAP forms. So usually it's your developer task to adjust forms to the client needs. (you just copy it to Z-names or /name_space/-names.

How to change the submit form data - standard e-mail text?

everytime, when submitting data of a form, in the e-mail appears a standard text like below:
The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details.
My experience shows, that this may confuse the user. I would like to write in a simple way, for example:
Thanks for submitting form....
My question: Is it possible to change this standard text, and if yes how?
I would be grateful for any comment or advice!

Dear Gilad,
Thanks for your fast answer! Yes, mailDoc specifies the text for the email. This is working fine!
But what about the form data as attachment? the attachemnt is missing.
Best regards!

Changes in standard SAP form

Dear all ,
i want to make chages in SAP standard form named J_1I_ARE1. how do i do ds.
when i open this form in change mode, pop up appears saying : Form J_1I_ARE1 language EN is not available . then it autimatically goes to create form for copying the original form to a new z form.
is there nothing like getting access key for the standard form and make the necessary changes ?
thand in advance
Aakanksha

Hi,
Form J_1I_ARE1 may not be avialable in your development Client. First copy the form from client 000 and try for it. Do not directly modify the original form copy it into Y/Z<> and make your modifications.

SAP Cloud For Customer : How to change the Logo or Image into the Standard Form Template

Can anyone have idea how to solve this issue ?
Can we change the template within cloud system?
If Yes than How ?
Regards,

The following are the instructions (November 2014 version of SAP Cloud for Customer)
Edit a Form Master Template
Overview
As an administrator, you can edit existing form master templates. These are used to define the header, footer, and logos used in form templates. Form master templates also contain an e-mail disclaimer that is appended to automatically generated e-mails sent to business partners when a document is output from the system.
Procedure
1. Go to Application and User Management or Administrator Business Flexibility Master Template Maintenance .
2. In the Master Template Maintenance view, select Form Master Templates from the Show menu.
3. Select the master template you want to edit and click Edit.
4. On the Form Master Template tab, do the following:
Under Header, click Upload and browse to find the file you want as logo. Adjust the size and alignment of the logo, as required.The file formats .gif, .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tif are supported. The logo should not be larger than 40 mm width x 20 mm height. If you upload a graphic that is larger than 40 mm x 20 mm, it is resized automatically.Select the Header Divider checkbox if you want a graphical divider to appear on your form.Under Sender Address, enter your company’s address. The sender address is shown above the recipient's address in a letter.Under Footer, choose the number of footer columns you want to display. Enter the footer text exactly as you would like it to appear on the form. You can maintain up to 4 footer blocks with a maximum of 10 lines per footer.Note that the width of each footer block is equally divided over the available space. If a line of text in the footer is too long for the current font size, the system will automatically enter a line break. If this automatic line break does not meet your needs, you may need to enter the text after the line break as a separate line.To maintain multiple languages, you must first add the language from the Add menu and then maintain the texts in that language by selecting the language from the dropdown list.
5. Click the refresh button to preview your changes. From the dropdown list under Preview, you can select a country. The preview is then displayed using the country-specific template, for example, some countries do not use sender addresses or have different paper sizes.
6. On the E-Mail Disclaimer tab, you can enter a disclaimer or other company-specific legal information.
This text is appended to the main text body of e-mails that are created when a document is output by the system. It is not possible to create separate language versions of this text; therefore if your company uses multiple communication languages, you should enter all language versions of the disclaimer here.
7. Click Save and Close.
Result
If required, you can now assign the form master template to a company/org unit and/or output channel. For more information, see the Master Template Maintenance Quick Guide.
Note that master templates can be activated and deactivated for each form template in the Form Template Maintenance view. For more information, see the Form Template Maintenance Quick Guide.

Custom form changes the color of all Application Standard forms

Hello,
First of all, I wish you a very happy new year to one and all of you.
I developed a customer form and deployed in Oracle Applications 11i and it is working fine as per our expectation.
After completion of my work with the custom form and if I try to open any of the standard form, the form is in dark color which is unusual.
I truly appreciate if anyone can post the solution for this. Thank you.
Lakshmi N. Anumula

Please check this Profile options "Java Color Schema" and change it should work on your application forms. I am not very sure of Custom Forms but technically if your Oracle Forms get affected by this then your Custom Forms should also get affected

How to Copy Standard form in Smartforms?

Hi Experts,
can anyone tell how to copy a standard form in Smartforms.
Thanks in advance

Hi Abdul,
We have to copy them to '800'. (this is your own company define client no)
All Standard Scripts and their respective print programs are listed in table 'TNAPR'.
Ex: FORM MEDRUCK has the Driver Program SAPFM06P.
NOTE: Never make any changes to the Standard Driver Programs
STEP 1.
Goto Transaction Code <SE71> and
select from Menu UTILITIES ->Copy from Client.
Enter the Standard Form Name, It source Client 000 and the target Form Name that you want it to be saved as on your client.
Say you are naming it as zmedruck1.
Click on EXECUTE.
STEP 2.
Converting form to English.
Open zmedruck1 in <SE71> With language DE.
Then goto UTILITIES -> Convert Original Language from DE to EN.
Then you can modify the layout for example, chaging the logo, or changing the headers, or adding any new code to do some calculation etc.,
SAVE THE CHANGES AND ACTIVATE.
Then select from the menu FORM -> CHECK -> TEXT.
SELECT your driver program name from the list adn click on COPY.
If you don't see the program name in the list then click on
'APPEND PRINT PROGRAM' and add your program name and then select it from the list and click on COPY.
STEP 3: Assigning our form to the standard print program.
Start Tr.Code <NACE>.
In our present case since we are working on 'Purchase order' we have to select EF and click on the button Output Types.
Then on Right hand side, scroll down and select NEU - New P O Printout.
(This may change for different programs).
Then Double click on Processing Routines on Left hand side.
Change from Display -> Change Mode.
Give your form name (zmedruck1) for printoutput and SAVE.
STEP 4:
Start Tr.Code <ME22N> since you are working on Purchase order and click on print Preview to make sure your layout etc., changes are OK. If not again you have to make the changes accordingly.
If every thing looks ok then you can print your form.

Sathish:)

How to add new fields in sap copied standard form using itcsy structure

hi guys,
i want add some fields in sap script copied standard form using itcsy structure.
let me know the procedure with any example.
thanks,
anitha.

Hii anitha
plz c code below
Syntax goes like this
/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
INVAR1 and INVAR2 are variable symbols and may be of any of the four SAPscript symbol types.
OUTVAR1 and OUTVAR2 are local text symbols and must therefore be character strings.
Example:
In script form
/: PERFORM READ_TEXTS IN PROGRAM 'Z08M1_FORM_EKFORM1'
/: USING &EKKO-EKORG&
/: USING &EKPO-WERKS&
/: USING &EKKO-EKGRP&

How to change the standard purchase order ???

Hi,
i am trying to change the output form of standard purchase order.for that i copied the standard script/form to my own created script/smart form.i modified it as per user requirement and i have given the same name in NACE>EF>output type>NEU>processing routine..in place of the standard one.and i have also activated the standard program i.e. SAPFM06P.but when i am going to me22n and print preview the previous form format is coming...
if i will create my own smartform then it is difficult for mapping all the fields to me22n...user can not input other fields in me21n if i am giving my print program name in NACE...
can anybody please help me...????
pls reply soon,....
Regards
Amayika

Hi,
Are you sure you have set it for medium 1 (print output) and specify the program, FORM routine, and the Form/Script correctly?
Another reason is the output type is not set up yet at the PO. Go to ME22N and click Messages button (next to Print preview button) and check whether your output type is already there. If it is not, then create one.
Please also check that you have copy client the form/script from development client to test client (SAPScript need this but no need for Smartform) using T-Code SCC1. And the config is configured properly in test client.

Teddy

Handling error & messages in standard forms

Hi all,
I'm customizing Oracle HR through CUSTOM.pll and I need to handle some messages in standard forms.
I have tried using ON-MESSAGE and ON-ERROR trigger, but I can't substitute the "not user-friendly" "FRM-40150: Cannot update record" with anything else!
Is it possible to do this??
In that case....should someone show me some examples??
Thx a lot.
If needed I can attach my code to help you..
Thx
Jacopo

Whatever you do, never change the message level, it's just like hiding behind your finger, you'll be in denial of the error, but the error will be there...
the best way is to handle them in on-error triggers, trap the error number and use your own message, you can create a user defined error and associate it with the error number of a choice.
search the online help of the forms builder for user defined errors. there is a very clear example there.

Webdynpro for ABAP, Enhancement and change of standard "visible" property

Hi
Is it possible to change the standard Webdynpro element (in cProjects application), so that the original control "Input" from visible property "Visible" is changed to mine Context variable? How to change that default "Visible" flag in standard element?
thank you

Hi Phani,
Thanks for the info.
I am able to see if it is not interactive.
Displaytype is native only.
Let me explain you the issue in detail:
Currently Client is calling ZFORM thro Java. They have some issues with JAVA so they want to use Webdynpro to call that ZFORM and the form is ABAP Dic based.
For Templete source I gave ZFORM name, and it automatically created a 'NODE' wrt the context in the ZFORM.
Now I have to pass data from difft node attributes to that 'NODE'.
Thanks in advance,
GG

Creating Database Standard Form Analytic Workspaces

Just been looking through the new 9.2.0.4.1 documentation and came across the following. Thought it might be useful.
The 9.2.0.4.1 release of Oracle OLAP introduces a new concept known as �Database Standard Form� Analytic Workspaces. This is a way of constructing analytic workspaces in a standard way such that they can be used by tools such as the Analytic Workspace Manager, the Java OLAP API, and BI Beans.
When analytic workspaces are created from a relational star-schema using the Analytic Workspace Manager, it automatically creates the analytic workspace in standard form as part of the migration process. However, if you�re migrating an Express database to Oracle OLAP, the migrated database has to be processed to be in standard form before it is usable by any of the new Oracle OLAP GUI tools.
If you create an analytic workspace using PL/SQL or the OLAP Worksheet, of course you can create dimensions, variables, relations and so on in any form, just as you can create table structures, joins, views and columns in any form in a relational database. However, the database standard form requirement stipulates that;
Certain objects and properties need to be found in the analytic workspace, that are used by tools such as the Analytic Workspace Manager to perform tasks such as aggregation, data loads, and OLAP API enablement. OLAP DML views (beginning with AW$) need to created in the analytic workspace, to provide metadata and to identify relationships between objects in the analytic workspace. Objects need to be registered in the OLAP Catalog, and these registrations have to be kept in sync so that the OLAP tools are aware of changes to the base objects. Data that is migrated in to an analytic workspace, from a relational star-schema using the Analytic Workspace Manager, is already in database standard form and no further work is needed. However, some work is needed to get migrated Express databases into standard form, and Oracle have provided a utility with the 9.2.0.4.1 release of Oracle OLAP to help accomplish this.
This utility, known as CREATE_DB_STDFORM, is an OLAP DML program that takes existing Oracle Express Objects metadata in a migrated Express database, and uses this to create the additional metadata required to make the analytic workspace �database standard form�.
Once CREATE_DB_STDFORM has been used to create this additional metadata, it can also be used to import data into the workspace either from flat files, or from Oracle tables and views. If you don�t have Express Objects metadata in the Express database, CREATE_DB_STDFORM doesn�t work, and you�ll have to use Oracle Warehouse Builder 9.2 to initially create a relational star-schema that equates to the Express database, then use the OLAP Bridge within OWB to export the data into a database standard form analytic workspace.
CREATE_DB_STDFORM, once run, allows the migrated Express database to be accessed via BI Beans straight afterwards, as it creates all the OLAP Catalog entries required for the OLAP API. If the Express database only contains data at the lowest level (i.e. it hasn�t been rolled up), aggregation wizards in the Analytic Workspace Manager can be used to summarise the data as required.
CREATE_DB_STDFORM doesn�t do everything, however. First of all, you need to have created Oracle Express Objects metadata within the Express database, which is an additional step and not always appropriate for all systems. In addition, you need to create time dimensions in a particular way, which may require the data model to be adjusted to meet this requirement. Lastly, any Express language programs within the Express database may need to be adjusted to remove or change commands that have changed or become obsolete.
The new document, �Oracle OLAP Application Developers Guide Release 9.2.0.4.1�, available on metalink under note 251352.1, details how database standard form works, has code examples, and walks through the migration of the XADEMO Express database to an analytic workspace using database standard form.

In your message, you wrote "Certain objects and properties need to be found ... aware of changes to base objects". A large bit is represented by "...". Question is whether I have any commands or package functions that I can use to set up all the proper objects and relationships to make it have database standard form, short of regressing to a ROLAP star schema and usnig the AWM wizard. I have what appears to be working MOLAP activity, all created at the OLAP worksheet prompt, and loaded with DML program. Do I really have to put that all aside and start with a star schema? No way to put my AW in standard form for OLAP API without this?
