Hi
in smartforms and in scripts we write a driver program to execute the smatform /script.
we can write the code in the smartform iteself also.
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc

Diff between interactive report and interactive alv

Diff between interactive report and interactive alv? Suppose I have been given certain program then how I will diffrentiate that this prog should be done in interactive alv or interactive report.

hi
both are used for same purpose
interactive report means an output list which displays basic details & allow user to interact, so that a new list is populated based on user-selection. With interactive list, the user can actively control data retrieval and display during the session.
I suggest to use ALV.by using ALV we can display in Grid as well as list format.
Output format will be good . Sorting,Filtering facilities are provided by itself.We can have column headings also.

Diff b/w Report and a Form

Hi all can u please give appropriate difference between report and a form ..this was the question asked in my previous interview

hi,
welcome to SDN...
Script is a form which has a layout set as per the company standards and can be used for external use too. Generally reports are designed for internal use for in house users
A script is a used for printing company specific documents as shipping labels, invoice, purchase order etc. it is basically meant for printing as copy to the customer or others. it is client dependent. It can never be interactive.
However, a report is an executable program which can be static or interactive used to automate an existing business functionality which is mainly used for reporting purpose. it is client independent.

Diff between normal RDMS and BW RDMS

Hi all,
Please let me know if there is any difference between normal RDMS and BW RDMS?
Thanks and Regards
Satish

The underying data store is a relational database. BW runs on Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, and others. I believe Oracle has between 2/3 and 3/4 of the installations currently.
As Patrick mentions, BW is a data warehouse rather than an OLTP system that processes transactions like the R3 system does.
A major differnce however is that the bulk of BW querying is done against an OLAP cube. Since the queries actually run against an underlying relational DB, this is sometimes referred to as ROLAP. This is compared to say, Hyperion or Cognos, that have their own proprietary multi-dimension datastores (known as MOLAP). While some querying is done against "flat" tables (ODS), the power of BW is it's ability to support slice and dice analytical querying using an OLAP multi-dimensional cube. The InfoCube, as SAP calls it, uses a star schema design, and SAP refer to their design as an "extended star schema".
When a user submits a query, a conventional SQL query is run against the database and the results of that query are transferred to an OLAP processor that supports the slice and dice analysis.
It starts to get more confusing as Oracle also has it's own MOLAP data store, but SAP does not use it. If you run your BW on Microsoft SQL Server, the data can then be transfered to MS's MOLAP datastore for analysis.
Simple question, but a not so simple answer I'm afraid.

Difference between dynamic report and template

I think the subject line covers it, I am trying to find out, that when I save the report, I can save it as static or dynamic report or as a template. but what is the diff between dynamic report and template?
Thanks.

Hi Zack,
SAP provides some standard templates as report templates. The users are provided with the option to save their own versions of reports as 'Report Templates' for future use. As a super user one could create a custom template and save to the template library which the other users could access from the template library.
For example if you have 'ACCOUNT' drilldown as a standard report template, you could define a new template as for example, 'Entity' drilldown template.
Hope it is clear now.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Diff bet Adobe forms and smart forms?

Hi Friends
What is the diff between Adobe forms and Smart Forms
Thanks & Regards
Kanni

Hello,
Smartform:
To create and maintain forms for mass printing in SAP systems. Besides using the printer for standard output you can also select the Internet (by using a generated HTML output), a fax, or e-mail as the output medium. Smart Forms allows you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/16/a369b1800e4bdda978ee0fe3b7bd2c/frameset.htm
Adobe Form:
Interactive forms in PDF format that allow users to fill out the form on the screen and save their entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the PDF form, it extracts the data saved in the form, and can process it further.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.

Diff between ECC5.0 and ECC6.0

Hi,

Regards
Ramakrishna

Hi,
Refer following link;
[SAP ERP Solution Browser|http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/]
Following are the basic differences as far as MM Module is concerned;
Pickup list - Batch where-used list display in transaction MB56
u2022 Until release 4.7, the top-down and bottom-up analyses in the function pickup list for batch where-used list (transaction MB5C) were displayed only in the form of simple output lists. As of release 6.00 of SAP ERP Central Component, the function pickup list for batch where-used list branches to the batch where-used list itself (transaction MB56).
u2022 In addition, user can define how the data in the batch where-used list is displayed, in the initial screen.
u2022 User can use all the settings available in the batch where-used list. For example, he can expand transfer posting or display vendor batch. However, it is not possible to limit the selection to valid plants in the initial screen of the pickup list.
Usability enhancements for transaction MIGO for the posting of goods movements
u2022 For goods movements that refer to purchase orders as reference documents (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, subsequent adjustment), user can specify the ordering plant as an additional selection criterion directly next to the purchase order number and the item number.
u2022 There is a new default value: "copy account assignment fields." When entering other goods receipts, user can copy existing account assignment data from the previous item to use as the default values for a new item. To do this, user has to set the copy account assignment fields indicator in the default values.
u2022 User changes the default values in the menu path "Settings -> Default Values."
u2022 Goods movement is monitored with reference to a material document. When you enter the following goods movements, it is possible to specify a material document, such as the following, as the reference document:
- Goods receipt
- Goods issue
- Transfer posting
- Remove from storage
u2022 Note that these material documents must be documents that have arisen from a goods movement without reference ("Others") and that are not reversal documents.
New report : display list of invoice documents (MIR5)
u2022 Logistics invoice verification offers a new report display list of invoice documents (RMMR1MDI), w hich user can use to display such a list (Transaction is MIR5).
u2022 As an addition to the existing program invoice overview (transaction code MIR6), user have extended selection criteria and display options. For example, on the initial screen user can make selections by one-time customers, invoice gross amount, and entry date.
u2022 User can also show an expert mode, which enables him to select at plant level by FI document, GL A/c posting, and Material Posting.
u2022 In the output list, the report shows both posted and held invoices.
u2022 It does not show invoices without a corresponding FI document; such as invoices planned for verification in the background or which the software has already verified as containing errors.
Requirement prioritizations in materials management
u2022 With Requirement Prioritization functionality user can assign requirement urgency at item level in purchasing and reservation documents.
u2022 The software determines the relevant requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requisition from the combination of requirement urgency group and organizational priority.
Mass maintenance of outline agreements
The following two transactions available:
u2022 Mass maintenance for contracts: transaction code MEMASSCONTRACT
u2022 Mass maintenance for scheduling agreements: transaction code MEMASSSA
Commitment plan for purchase contracts
u2022 With the function of the commitment plan for purchase contracts, it is possible to pre plan value consumption for a purchase contract.
u2022 To this end, a commitment plan is generated for each document item of the relevant contract.
u2022 This commitment plan itself can have any number of items.
u2022 User can define a value and a validity date for each commitment plan item.
u2022 This enables user to pre plan different values for different periods of time.
u2022 The software generates an earmarked fund document for a defined commitment plan item.
u2022 This earmarked funds document can in turn contain several different items with different account assignments.
u2022 The software adopts these account assignments from the item account assignments of the commitment plan.
u2022 If a purchase requisition or purchase order references this contract, the earmarked funds document is copied into the purchase order, and the account assignment is adopted from that document.
u2022 Account assignment to a different account assignment object is then no longer allowed.
Availability check in "Enjoy purchase order and requisition"
u2022 Display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the "Enjoy purchase order and requisition" function, in line with the software behavior on the sales side.
u2022 User invoke the display and checking of availability in the "Enjoy purchase order" function (transaction code ME21N) and the "Enjoy purchase requisition" function (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
- To display the availability overview, choose the menu path "Environment -> Availability." - To check availability, choose the "Check Availability" icon.
- Until this release, if user carried out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, the software adopted confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
u2022 Two settings are possible with availability check:
- Confirmation as per desired date/time (this is the standard setting and corresponds to previous software behavior)
- Delivery proposal - Full confirmation
External services: putting service items in the purchase order on hold (changed)
User can put purchase orders with service items on hold if these items do not contain any errors. Purchase orders with service items can also be put on hold if errors occur only at header level or as a result of the availability check.
Customizing transactions OX18 replaced by view
The assigned customizing transactions have been replaced by the following view in the following implementation guide activity in customizing for the enterprise structure: Assign plant to company code: transaction OX18 replaced by view V_T001K_Assign. One will find this activity in the implementation guide under the menu path "Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code."
Goods receipt: new movement types in inventory management
The following new movement types are available in inventory management:
- 107: Goods receipt to valuated goods receipt blocked stock
- 109: Goods receipt from valuated goods receipt blocked stock
Prepayment of invoices
This functionality is characterized as follows:
u2022 User can trigger prepayment of vendor invoices in logistics invoice verification.
u2022 User use the prepayment function for vendors with whom organisation has a good, long-standing relationship.
u2022 The function enables payment soon after issue of the invoice and full exploitation of the date of required payment and existing cash discounts, by posting the vendor liabilities, taxes, and cash discounts in financial accounting in advance.
u2022 The software executes the payment of the invoice regardless of the relevant goods receipt and the outcome of the invoice verification check.
u2022 Most logistics invoice verification standard functions are not affected by the prepayment function.
u2022 When the software posts invoices, it continues to execute the standard checks.
u2022 If the software has already posted the prepayment document, user can make only restricted changes to the header fields of the invoice.
u2022 To ensure adequate and orderly financial accounting postings, a prepayment clearing account has been added to SAP ERP Central Component.
u2022 Upon prepayment, the software debits this account and then settles the account again after executing the check.
Purchasing accounting information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse
u2022 With the transfer of the purchasing account information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse component (whose functionality is now part of SAP Net Weaver), it is now possible to maintain Info Cubes, reports, and queries that can determine how and where the costs from purchasing documents have been assigned and controlled.
u2022 As part of the software, a new data source (2LIS_02_ACC) has been created and the purchasing extraction process extended to cover the account information for purchasing orders, schedule agreements, and contracts.
Automatic settlement of planned delivery costs with evaluated receipt settlement (MRDC)
u2022 A new report (RMMR1MDC), available within the logistics invoice verification, can be used to automatically settle planned delivery costs.
u2022 To invoke the report, from the SAP easy access screen, choose the menu path "Logistics -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Automatic Settlement -> Automatic Delivery Cost Settlement" (transaction code MRDC).
u2022 Functionality for report RMMR1MRS is enhanced.
u2022 User can use the report RMMR1MRS, "Evaluated receipt settlement with logistics invoice verification (LIV)" (transaction code MRRL), to settle planned delivery costs in addition to goods and service items within logistics invoice verification.
u2022 To do so, set the relevant indicator on the initial screen of the report.
Parking service items
It is now possible to put service orders without errors or with commitment errors on hold.
Report MB5B : Stock on Posting Date
u2022 This Report is available with u201CNon-Hierarchyu201D display option which provides details of Opening, Receipt, Issue and Closing balances of Stock with quantity and value both for a given period.
u2022 This functionality is not available in Release 4.7.

Difference between class report and interactive report

please give me the differences between classical report and interactive report

Hi,read the following :
In ABAP, there are a total of 7 types of reports. They are:
Classical Reports
Interactive Reports
Logical Database Reports
ABAP query
ALV Reports (ALV stands for ABAP List Viewer)
Report Writer/Report Painter
Views (There are different types of views also)
Classical Reports
These are the most simple reports. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT
Interactive Reports
As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
Logical Database Reports
Logical database is another tool for ABAP reports. Using LDB we can provide extra features for ABAP reports.
While using LDB there is no need for us to declare Parameters.
Selection-screen as they will be generated automatically.
We have to use the statement NODES in ABAP report.
ABAP Query Reports
ABAP query is another tool for ABAP. It provides efficency for ABAP reports. These reports are very accurate.
Transaction Code : SQ01
Report Writer / Report painter
Super users and end users can use Report Painter/Report Writer tools to write their own reports.
Giving them the ability to report on additional fields at their discretion shifts the report maintenance burden to them, saving SAP support groups time and effort normally spent creating and maintaining the reports.
ALV reports
Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
There is no difference between drill down and interactive report, they are the same.
With drilldown reporting, SAP provides you with an interactive information system to let you evaluate the data collected in your application. This information system is capable of analyzing all the data according to any of the characteristics that describe the data. You can also use any key figures you wish to categorize your data. You can display a number of objects for a given key figure, or a number of key figures for a given object. In addition, the system lets you carry out any number of variance analyses (such as plan/actual comparisons, fiscal year comparisons, comparisons of different objects, and so on).
*More on Classical Vs Interactive*
Classical Reports
These are the most simple reports. Programmers learn this one first. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT.
Events In Classical Reports.
INTIALIZATION: This event triggers before selection screen display.
AT-SELECTION-SCREEN: This event triggers after proccesing user input still selection screen is in active mode.
START OF SELECTION: Start of selection screen triggers after proceesing selection screen.
END-OF-SELECTION : It is for Logical Database Reporting.
Interactive Reports
As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
Events associated with Interactive Reports are:
1. AT LINE-SELECTION
2. AT USER-COMMAND
3. AT PF<key>
4. TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION.
HIDE statement holds the data to be displayed in the secondary list.
sy-lisel : contains data of the selected line.
sy-lsind : contains the level of report (from 0 to 21)
Interactive Report Events:
AT LINE-SELECTION : This Event triggers when we double click a line on the list, when the event is triggered a new sublist is going to be generated. Under this event what ever the statements that are been return will be displayed on newly generated sublist.
AT PFn: For predefined function keys...
AT USER-COMMAND : It provides user functions keys.
TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION :top of page event for secondary list.

Diff between paper layout and weblayout in terms of performance

Hi All,
1.Can any one tell me diff between paper layout and weblayout in terms of performance.
2.Can I save my rdf as jsp.Will there any performance diff in real time.

What exactly is the diff between main window and variable window

what exactly is the diff between main window and variable window in SAP script?

hi,
MAIN WINDOW :- In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.
You can define only have one window in a form as main window.
The main window must have the same width on each page, but can differ in height.
A page without main window must not call itself as next page, since this would trigger an endless loop. In such a case, the system automatically terminates after three pages.
VARIABLE WINDOW :- The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike. The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
hope this will be useful.
If useful then reward points.
with regards,
Syed

Diff between sap query and abap query

diff between sap query and abap query

Hi,
ABAP query is mostly used by functional consultants.
SAP Query :
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
ABAP Query,:
As far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly
use either SQ02 ans SQ01
or SQVI tr code

Diff between select single and select upto 1 rows.

Hello aLL,
PL tell what is technical diff between select single and select upto 1 rows and how it is affecting the performance.
Rushikesh

Hi
Knowing when to use SELECT SINGLE or SELECT ... UP TO 1 ROWS
A lot of people use the SELECT SINGLE statement to check for the existence of a value in a database. Other people prefer to use the 'UP TO 1 ROWS' variant of the SELECT statement.
So what's the difference between using 'SELECT SINGLE' statement as against a 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement ?
If you're considering the statements
SELECT SINGLE field INTO w_field FROM table.
and
SELECT field INTO w_field FROM table UP TO 1 ROWS. ENDSELECT.
then looking at the result, not much apart from the extra ENDSELECT statement. Look at the run time and memory usage and they may be worlds apart.
Why is this ?? The answer is simple.
The 'SELECT SINGLE' statement selects the first row in the database that it finds that fulfils the 'WHERE' clause If this results in multiple records then only the first one will be returned and therefore may not be unique.
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.
Get the difference ??
If not, here is a good example, credit for this example goes to Richard Harper, a friend of mine on sapfans.com :
Create a Ztable called ZDifference with 2 fields in it, MANDT of type MANDT and POSNR of type POSNR. Make sure both of these are keys. Also create a table maintenance dialog for it (SE11->Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator). Fill the table with ten rows 000001-000010.
Then run the program shown below:
Code:
Program: Z_Difference
Purpose: A program that demonstrates the difference
between SELECT SINGLE and SELECT UP TO n ROWS.
This program requires the data table Z_DIFFERENCE
to have been created according to the structure
outlined in the text above and populated with
at least 10 records.
Creation Date: 21/04/2004
Requested By:
Reference Doc:
Author: R Harper
Modification History:
Date Reason Transport Who
Report Z_Difference
Message-id 38
Line-Size 80
Line-Count 0
No Standard Page Heading.
Start-Of-Selection.
Data: w_Single type Posnr,
t_Rows type standard table of Posnr
initial size 0
with header line.
Select single Posnr
from zDifference
into w_Single.
Select Posnr
into table t_Rows
from zDifference
up to 1 rows
order by Posnr descending.
Write :/ 'Select single:', w_Single.
Skip 1.
Write :/ 'Up to 1 rows :'.
Loop at t_Rows.
Write t_Rows.
EndLoop.
You should see the output:
Select single: 000001
Up to 1 rows : 000010
The first 'SELECT' statement selected the first record in the database according to any selection criterion in the 'WHERE' clause. This is what a 'SELECT SINGLE' does. The second 'SELECT' has asked the database to reverse the order of the records before returning the first row of the result.
In order to be able to do this the database has read the entire table, sort it and then return the first record. If there was no ORDER BY clause then the results would have been identical (ie both '000001') but the second select if given a big enough table to look at would be far slower.
Note that this causes a problem in the Extended Program Check if the full key is not specified in a 'SELECT SINGLE'. Replacing the 'SELECT SINGLE' by an "UP TO 1 ROWS" will give the same exact results without any warning but the program will run slower and consume more memory. This is a good example of a warning that we should ignore... considering you are sure of what you are doing !!

Diff between GL's and Material's

Hello,
Can anyone please tell us what is the diff between normal GL accounts and Material accounts? Material is also nothing but GL, so why we need to define again materials seprate?
Regards

Hi Krishna,
Babu rightly pointed out that In GL we only control values,
You can observe number of materilas we can assign to single GL account, if you create seperate GL for each material it was not practicable,
Observe OBYC settings.
Thanks,
Sekhar Thallam.
