How to pass a adobe form for approval

hi ,
We have scenario where we are creating a custom HR interative adobe form in EP for creating a position .After entering the details and when it is submitted it should trigger a custom workflow which goes through a series of approvals via UWL and finally it should update the R/3.
The data is not getting stored in any temporary table in between the approvals.Only the form contains the data and
we are using the HCM process and forms NOt PCRs.
My questions are:
1) How should i proceed to send the adobe form from portal to the backend workflow for the approvals.
2) what are the things i need to configure?
3) do i need t create any custom BO or tasks? if not
4) what are the standard existing BO and standard tasks can i use and
5) how can i use them.
Please tell me in detail to proceed further.
Helpful answers will be definitely appreciated.
Regards,
Rajgopal.

Adobe forms for report creation.

Hello. I would like to use an web form in which the user submits research information, which the user can then download (or be emailed) the data in an organized report. In a sense, I would like to use Adobe Forms to make these reports consistent. How can I use Adobe forms for this? Is this possible?

Hi Viji,
I believe there must be a misunderstanding here. While Adobe delivers sample forms both in Adobe LiveCycle Designer (only the form) and for their own server products (the LiveCycle series), this has nothing to do with Interactive Forms in SAP software. Adobe contributes 2 key technology components to the joint solution, but the business logic continues to be shipped by SAP only. This means that Adobe neither ships standard forms for an SAP system nor BAPIs.
In mySAP ERP 2004, a couple of pilot processes built with Guided Procedures were shipped to selected customers. These processes dealt with the creation and changing of master data. These processes are not generally available.
Interactive Forms is included in several environments, i.e. Web Dynpro for Java, Web Dynpro for ABAP, ABAP Workbench (for printing), Guided Procedures, Internet Service Request (ERP), and Business Intelligence. In NetWeaver '04, you can only use Web Dynpro for Java and ABAP Workbench.
There is NO OUT-OF-THE-BOX SUPPORT for BSPs.
If you wish to use KM functions, it'll be up to you to develop them for your process. You will need to persist the generated PDF form (it doesn't happen by default), and there is no standard delivery that includes KM functions.
Hope this helps,

Removal of Buttons from Adobe form for PCR Approval

Hi,
I am using adobe forms for PCR approval using the Business object method EXTSRV-PROCESS. The binding parameters are as follows,
MODE = &Displaymode&
REQUEST_NO = &Notification.Number&
DESCRIPTION = &Notification.Description&
IFV = A
The display mode passed as parameter is 'Change'.
The problem is i am able to see all the 5 buttons (Approve/Reject/Return to Author/Compete/Exit) but I want only the Approve/Reject/Exit buttons to be seen. I found the following thread with more or less similiar requriement but unable to find a solution from it. Any suggestions on this?
Buttons for ISR_APPROVE & ISR_PROCESS appearing in Workflow
Thanks,
Prasath N

Hi Prasath,
Long time before even we too had a similar requirement...But we were not able to solve the problem. Luckily, USER is convinced with going ahead with those 5 buttons.
Will surely keep you updated in case if I get to know any solution.

Adobe form with approver details

Hi All,
I have designed one Adobe form for offline scenario. Once the user fills the data he will send to one emaild in R/3 which I have already configured to receive mails with attachment. Then it should trigger work flow.
Here my requirement is , this PDF will be approved by first approver and then by second like that. I would like to get all the approver details in PDF itself. so, that when we do archive or when we take print , we can have full history of approvals.
Can some body tell me how can we acheive this?
Appreciate your help
Regards,
Ravi

This issue is resolved. This was due to loading a large data set to the form.

Using the Adobe Forms for printing through portal

Hi All,
I've got a problem with the fact that I do not know exactly how to use the Adobe Forms from the portal.
I've got the Form Objects done (Interface & Form using SE80) and they work OK when testing the form. The Interface gathers all the datas etc. and the form displays this correctly.
My problem now is that I need to have this form available from the portal, and this I presume needs some WebDynPro stuff or something else? I'm totally lost on this part ...
The customer wants to have a button or link in the portal that opens a new window with the produced PDF opened in the new window, much like opening a static PDF file. The user then has the option to print the PDF him/herself using Adobe Readers own print mechanism.
My interface has only one Import parameter (PERNR number) and one EXPORT parameter (default). The PERNR number must be supplied to the interface so that it can gather all the needed data based on this number.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated and rewarded accordingly.
Thankyou in advance,
Kim

Hi Arnab,
from a forms point of view:
(I assume you have the ADS up and running on the Java stack. Without it, the form generation doesn't work.)
If you create your form in transaction SFP and execute the corresponding program that calls the form for testing in SE38, you get to the print dialogue. Here you may choose either locl or lp01 (or any other printer accessible through your network) and then select Print Preview. This should then display the PDF in SAP GUI.
If you are asking about general printer setup within SAP, check the corresponding documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/d9/4a8eb751ea11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Hope this helps,

Hi Neha,
The program will have the following steps:
1.Data retrieval and processing : A select statement for the pre-populated information
2.Obtain the name of the Generated Function Module of the form u2022 Start the form processing
3.Call the Generated Function Module
4.End form processing
5. Send the form to the vendor using Business communication services (BCS)
Follw this step
select single field1 field2... from table into wa where field = P_field.
call function 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
call function 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
Then call the generated function module
call function fm_name
call function 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
Extract the Data:
DATA: xml_data TYPE xstring,
lt_xml_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF xstring.
APPEND xml_data TO lt_xml_data.
lo_pdfobj->get_data( IMPORTING formdata = xml_data ).
Convert XML data from XSTRING format to STRING format DATA: lv_xml_data_string TYPE string.
CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
EXPORTING im_xstring = xml_data

Migration of JSP forms into adobe forms for PCRs

Hi All,
I am working on Upgrade project for ESS/MSS. Our client had JSP based PCRs which we need to migrate into adobe based PCRs.
i have few questions regarding this migration.
Has someone the experience to migrate a JSP based PCR into Adobe based PCR?
How much effort the migration will take, and can we fully reuse ISR configuration and workflow?
Thanks,
Ankur

If you are using the SAP delivered JSP forms - there maybe equivalent SAP delivered Adobe based PCRs in the next ESS/MSS releases that you can use instead of migrating the forms
I am not aware of any tools or documentation that help to migrate custom JSPs to custom Adobe forms
As I see it you would have to create new Adobe based versions of your JSP PCRs - I am vaguely aware of a guide entitled
"Developing Your Own Personnel Change Requests" for ERP2004 - however I am not sure how you would obtain a copy
or whether this approach is recommended, supported or complete - this documentation would detail how to create an ISR based Adobe form
At the same time there may be restrictions as to what standard JSP forms are available as standard Adobe forms and what can be configured in the ISR scenarios (for example use of Value Help in WD JAVA Adobe scenarios)
- SAP have been recommending instead of creating say a ISR based Adobe form for WD JAVA to
use HCM processes and forms (also available in the MSS role) going forward
- HCM processes and forms is WD ABAP based framework using Adobe which allows users to create custom Adobe forms which update back-end infotypes directly from the Portal - also such scenarios as Value Help etc may be possible (or more easily achieved)
Best wishes

Adobe form for checks

Hi All,
Can any expert suggest me whether SAP supports Adobe form for cheque form, because the option of selecting Script and PDF form is disable and by default it is SAP Script, when I try to assign form in the form for payment media in paying company code.
If it supports then how can I make that selection active and select PDF form for the payment medium.
Thanks&Regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
In FBZP configuration Payment method in country select the payment medium as PMW (CHECK - standard is there) instead of RFFO classic program.
Then it will enable you to select the PDF in the payment method in company code config. Then you can create your ADOBE form as assign it in the same place.
Hope this helps you. If you need any additional information let me know.

Adobe Form for F110 Check Payments

Currently, F110 uses an SAPScript form defined in t-code OBVU for its check payments. Is it possible to use an Adobe form instead? If so, is there a template or example anywhere? I am using t-code SFP.
Thank you for your help.
Brenda

Is it possible to use an Adobe form instead?
Of course. You will find a predelivered (next step) or create one yourself.
There is also the option to migrate the smartform but I would never do that even if I got paid for that (the result is very messy), check the details here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/16/a369b1800e4bdda978ee0fe3b7bd2c/content.htm
If so, is there a template or example anywhere?
List of SAP standard Adobe forms: Go to http://service.sap.com/erp (SAP ERP) -> Media Library - SAP ERP Overview -> Detailed information cross ERP -> Adobe Forms for SAP ERP
Standard programs:
or example anywhere?
Adapt yourself a tutorial:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d
or learn how to enhance the standard (you will only create a brand new adobe instead of smartform if you didn´t find one):

Configure Adobe form for JV billing

HI All,
Can anyone tell me how do we configure a Adobe form for Joint Venture Billing Statement.
I am able to only configure a SapScript. I have developed a smartform and thought of configuring for a PDF and calling the smartform form that form routine instead of the PDF.

ADOBE FORM for SAP - where is the documentation

Hello Everybody,
I started to work with adobe form for two weeks now.
And i am wondering something since two days where is the documentation ?
On adobe forums, we find a quick FAQ.
On SCN there is some documentation.
But where is the official or/and most complete documentation ?
Is the full documentation given when you buy the adobe product or is there a full on line documentation ?
Best Regards
