  • Language for mail smartforms in SRM

    Hello All,
    We are on SRM 5.0SP11.
    Technical scenario is classic and the business scenarios in question are
    1. Sourcing with Bid Invitation &
    2. Supplier self registration
    We are interested in mail communication to vendors in two events.
    1. When the Bid Invitation is created or changed.
    2. When the user ID and password is created for a new bidder contact person.
    For Sr. no.1 mail the smart form is BBP_OUTPUT_COVER
    The standard language is English.
    We want to change it to local language.
    1.Is there any setting in smartforms by which we can change the output language
    directly?
    2. what is the form for sr.no 2
    BR
    Dinesh

    Hi Dinesh,
    1. You should create an own smartform, e.g. ZBBP_OUTPUT_COVER (based on BBP_OUTPUT_COVER), whenever you have logged in using your local language.
    In the transaction SMARTFORMS, at Global Settings/Form Attributes/General attributes choose Translate
    "Into all Languages".
    2. use the smartform BBP_UM
    I hope this helps,
    regards

  • Adobe form to replace smartform in SRM 7

    Hello,
    We are in the process of utilizing the adobe server for form processing in our SRM 7 environment. In SRM 5.0 we have some custom Z smartforms for SRM documents. I am having the following questions:
    1) What are the steps to do a "smoke test" to make sure the adobe server is working as it should?
    2) Is there a graceful way of transforming the smartforms into adobe forms without re-designing them?
    3) What are the steps to configure the system so that the it prints adobe form instead of the smartforms? (I have read note 1264423. It doesn't seem to have too many details.)
    4) If adobe form would be exclusively used in SRM 7, is BADI BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF still relevant or should we deactivate it?
    Thanks.

    I think my question has been answered by this help:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c8/4adf7ba13c4ac1b4600d4df15f8b84/frameset.htm
    What I didn't realize is this:
    By migrating Smart Forms, you can reuse them as PDF-based print forms. You can find the Smart Form migration tool in transaction SMARTFORMS.
    I have tried the migration tool. It did convert the old smartform to the new form/interface, but not without many errors. But at least we know that we don't have to start from scratch.

  • Problem with subtotals on Smartform. SRM 5.0

    Hello,
    Iam facing one serious problem with one smartform on SRM 5.0.
    Using the automatic "calculation" of one table in main window i have set the subtotal calculation. This calculation is not working because the form is getting always the item from the next page on pagebreack moment...
    How could i control this bug from sap?

    The reason for this is the the systematic of the form interpreter on how to check if a page break has been done.
    Items and other stuff get printed in MAIN window.
    So e.G. you have 4 items while 3 fit on one page. so he prints 3 items, all is fine, no page break detected so he continues with MAIN window printing.
    Now he prints item 4 and WHILE printing it he detects that there is not enough space on the page to print it. Page break gets triggered, but item 4 has already been in process and so values of item 4 are added.
    I never ran into this problem with the auto subtotal calculation of smartforms and i really wonder that this makes problems in Standard as well.
    I suspect you can find a SAP-note on this subject, since this is the standard having issues, and i guess they are solved by now.

  • Differences Between Scripts & Smartforms...

    Hi,
    In my project any one of the Employee should give sessions on any of the topic every week. So i have decided to give on Scripts & Smartforms. Can any one explain in details the difference between Scripts & Smartforms.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramana.

    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.
    Contributed by : SAP ABAP/4 Programming, Basis Administration, Configuration Hints and Tips
    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.
    i) The main difference is that SAP script is client-dependant, while smartform is independent. Also there are some advanced and intreractive features available in smartforms.
    You can use an External subroutine-call in sapscript editor like:
      /: perform <form_name> in program <program_name>
      /: using <var1>
      /: using <var2>
      /: changing <return1>
      /: changing <return2>
      /:endperform
    i think it will useful for you.

  • Using XI Content for SRM 2007

    Hi,
    We are configuring a scenario for SRM which has following landscape
    ECC <=> SAP PI <=> SRM
    I am trying to use XI Content for SRM 7.0 and I have imported SAP SRM 7.0 Software component into ESR. But there are no Process Integration Scenarios which I can use to configure objects in Integration Directory using wizards. Also there are no IDoc imported in this SC and no mappings defined. Does that mean We have to create our own mappings? But this was not true when we used SRM 5.0 content.
    I am not able to find any document which talks how to configure PI scenario using SRM 7.0 XI Content. Do let me know if there is any?
    There is another thing which comes to my mind if SRM 7.0 XI Content is using web services instead of IDoc for communication with ECC system. If that is the case then i cannot find predefined proxy in ECC system and thus i have to create custom web service server proxy (where again i have to write custom code).
    Do let me know if anybody has used XI Content SRM 2007. So that I can get some help on this.
    Thanks,
    Divyakumar

    Hi Divya,
    We have done with SRM 5.0 but not with SRM 7.0
    When i see content for SRM 7.0 in Market Place i donot find , From where did u get download those XI content for SRM 7.0 ???
    Did u find any Integration Scenarios depecting the flow , we used the same for the business flow.
    Please do update how u have proceeded.
    Thanks

  • Configuring Output Determination to use a SMARTFORM

    I am in the process of trying to configure the output determination for a billing document to use a SMARTFORM.  Has anyone ever done this, and what fields in the proceesing routines of the output types do I need to populate.

    Hi Mazurek,
    Welcome to SDN.
    You can use the following in processing routine for application V3 (Billing) in transaction code V/40.
    - Medium = 1 (Print Output) or 2 (Fax)
    - Program = RLB_INVOICE
    - Form Routine = ENTRY
    - SmartForm = LB_BIL_INVOICE
    Hope this will help.
