I am currently working on Print Workbench.I need a detailed documentation of print workbench with Smartforms.I already have with me the information from link http://www.sap.com/industries/media/pdf/FICAPWB_EN.pdf
and also sap help.
But these don't provide a detailed step by step procedure on the same.If any body has such documentation Please provide the same.
Thanks in advance.

Bogdan,
I don't think that statement is true as we have developed SMART Forms for PM in 4.6C itself.
In the transaction OID1, all you have to do is to specify the SMART Form name and the print program name. I guess if you are developing a SMART Form, you will have a custom print program.
So, you need to specify the FORM sub routine in the OID1 which will be dynamically called by the standard code and from there your custom program calls the smart form and prints the relevant info.

Ravi

    hi Krishna,
    This printer does not support ZPL2 so I thnk you cnnot use the device types like LZEB2. It should work to print via windows and a device type like SAPWIN or SWINCF.

  • Page printing issue with smartform PO

    Hi Super-Techies,
    I have created a z print program for my purchase order smartform. But the issue I am facing now is that when i try to view the purchase order from transaction me23n -> print preview ( with 15 items). I am getting output as a single page with 10 items on it. The rest 5 items are not being displayed. I mean the page is not getting printed from 2nd page onwards.
    What could be the issue??? Can anyone suggest me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vinit

    Hi,
    As said above, I have used table instead of template and the data is flowinf to next pages.
    BUt now the issue is that in the last page suppose if there are only 5 items, than the window border prints after 5 items. It is not good while print preview as there is a blank space created in form (for the rest 5 items which are not being used).
    I want to fix the main window border irrespective of the line items.
    Whats advice on this issue.

  • Print WorkBench in ISU

    Can anyone send me the documents on print work bench.
    T.Code: EFRM.
    [email protected]
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The Print Workbench is the central development environment for creating standardized outgoing correspondence. To configure the correspondence forms, the Print Workbench uses the SAP standard components for configuring forms – SAPscript or Smart Forms.
    The Print Workbench is subdivided into the following subobjects:
    ·        Form classes
    Form classes are defined by SAP applications and contain a modeling as well as access instructions for all of the data that belongs to an application or an application process. You can use form classes to create application forms where you access the data defined in the form classes. Invoices, dunning notices, and account statements are examples of form classes. The form classes are delivered with each application component that use the Print Workbench. Changes to form classes delivered have modification status.
    ·        Application forms
    You create application forms based on the form classes delivered. You can define several application forms for each form class, for example, different invoices for different business partner groups. SAP delivers example forms that you can use as a reference for your own application forms. You can use user exits to adjust the application forms to your requirements. Numerous help functions simplify form creation.
    You can call up the Print Workbench via the area menu PWB.
    Integration
    The Print Workbench (CA-GTF-PWB) is a component of the Web Application Server (Release 6.20) and it can be used with no further prerequisites by every other SAP application. In the Print Workbench you can use Smart Forms (BC-SRV-SSF) and SAPscript (BC-SRV-SCR) alternatively.

  • How to pass data from smartform to user exits in appl form print workbench

    Dear All,
    I am using print workbench + smartforms to develop a form.
    But facing problem with passing data from the smartform back to
    the user exits includes in the application form of the print workbench.
    For eg:- Supppose the case , passing the total number of pages 'sfsy-formapages'  to the application form .
    I tried with the export interface of the smartform, still it doesn't works!
    Any suggestions/solutions
    Thanks
    santhv

    Hi Prashanti,
    Thank you very much...
    Using EXPORT/IMPORT , I am able to pass the data.
    But I would like to know whether it is  the final solution.
    As there is export interface is available for smartform....
    why it is not possible to get back the data in Application form.
    Please confirm, so that I can close the post.
    Anyway thank you once again....
    Regards,

  • LSO RBC with Print Workbench

    Dear Expert,
    Can anyone share on any How-to-guide or blog which highlights step by step on how to create RBC correspondence for LSO, especially how the form and application classes are related and used in an Adobe Print Form / Smartform with the Print Workbench ? Thank you.
    Regards
    Kir Chern

    As always it is recommended that you search the SAP Help first then when you have specific questions you can post that.  Your question is so broad it is difficult to know where to start to answer it.
    Print Workbench is divided into the following subobjects:
    Form Classes
    Application Forms
    You can call up the Print Workbench via the area menu PWB.
    Form Class- containes the underlying data hierarchy for the application.  The attributes of a form class contain controlling information that is relevant for further processing in the Application Form.  (see example PWB_FLIGHT_NOTIFICATION).  Generally you use one of the standard SAP Form Classes but you can create your own. (Transaction EFCS).  Refer to SAP Help on creating Form Classes and Form Levels.
    Application Form -  Consists of properties/attributes, hierarchy, SAPscript/Smart Form, SAPscript text, User Exit Includes, Generated print program.  The hierarchy is determined by the assigned Form Class.  (Transaction EFRM)
    You create your SAPScript (or Smart Form) with the necessary windows.
    You may enter text directly in the SAPScript (if there are no variables) or you add the text to the appropriate form levels in the Application Form. 
    At each form level you are able to add user exits - before, during and after looping through the level.
    You can also add text exits for the text added.
    When you activate the Application Form a print program is generated.
    you create a print request which adds the record to the correspondence container (the transaction used depends on what correspondence you are creating) then you go to transaction FPCOPARA to print the correspondence.
    This is a high-level overview.  No quick answer to your question other than to once again refer you to the SAP Help.  Hopefully it gives you a place to start.

    We have problem in production .
    For example , we need to print dunning form for 10 customers means 10 forms need to be print at a time usinf F150.
    Some forms printing fine with all text modules and some forms are not printing text modules.
    i did debug for Fm of smartform .
    In side this Fm , it is calling SSFRT_SYMBOL_VALUE  function module , for printing all text modules.
    Inside FM SSFRT_SYMBOL_VALUE   ,
    we have issue with     assign (l_programsymbol) to <l_symbol>    statement  (Line number 86) .
    Here if <l_symbol> will populate with text module, it is printing text.
    If not , it is not printing .
    Is there any point to know solution

  • Integration of Oracle Apps with the Third Party Label Printing Software

    Hi,
    I am integrating Oracle Apps R12 with the third party Label Printing Software(Bartender).
    For generating the Label, I have to create the XML file in Oracle Apps and with the help of Oracle WMS i have to transfer the XML file to the TCP/IP Port.
    Third Party Label Printing Software will pick the file from the TCP/IP Port.
    I am not able to find the way to send the XML file generated by the concurrent program to the TCP/IP Port using Oracle WMS.
    Below are the few links for Oracle WMS:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B25284_01/current/acrobat/115wmsug.pdf
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13434/T210618T210847.htm#T210864
    Thanks In Advance..

    Hi,
    I assume, i have already setup profile 'WMS: Label Print Mode' to Synchronous - TCP/IP.
    Basically, you dont have to create any concurrent program for XML creation, Oracle will do it for you 'out of box'.
    Also set 'WMS: Synchronous TCP/IP label request delay' to 100, this is a required step, though none of the documentation talks about it.
    if you think that all the requests are not handled correctly, then you will need to increase this delay further.
    Lastly, verify that the printer is setup correctly in Oracle (Place where you specify IP Address and port)
    Thanks,

  • Barcode printing type MSI Plessey or MSI Plain with smartforms

    Hello
    I have to print barcode type MSI Plessey. I kknmow i have to calculate 2 extra digtis tio the number to print but i do not knmow which type
    of barcode i have to choose for it. has anyone experience woth this.

    Hi,
    Take a look at the following SAP note:
    1557674 - Overview of bar code printing from SAP
    If the printer contains this barcode in it's internal fonts, then you should be able to create a system barcode via transaction SE73. In se73 -> Printer Fonts -> <Davice Type>, you need to maintain the print controls with the commands to tell the printer to switch  to this MIS barcode font.
    Another possiblity is to purchase the barcode font. e.g. See URL below:
    http://www.barcodesoft.com/msi_font.aspx
    Then you can install this true type font in SAP and use it in the smartform.

  • About Print Workbench

    Hi guru's,
    I am implementing SAP LSO recently. I want to use the Print Workbench(Collections) to create an email with a Attachment(NOT PDF Format). How can I do that?
    for example:
    When learner book a course, system will send a email(with attachment in outlook appointment format) to him/her.
    I add two smartforms in the Collections, one is email content, the other is outlook appointment file content, I set the Attachment indicator in the outlook appointment file content smartform in the Collections, but when I received the email, the attachment is PDF format. How can I change the format of the attachment or is there any way to do so?(BADI?)
    Thank you!

    Hi
    in ecc6 the procedure adopted in efrm is as follows
    1.efrm t code
    type the application form name u wish 2 activate
    click enter
    in the next screen click activate button
    2.for creating a new form
    gv ur form name ex ZIS_U_WA_ORDER_DOWNLOAD
    and click in menu bar copy from client
    copy from 000 to ur client id
    and u can see in the next screen all forms and application forms created in new name starting with z...
    and save in english
    thats it in the ecc6 version
    differnece between sapcripts and smartforms are based on client depenedecies
    smartforms areclient dependent and sap scriots are clienct independent
    coloured logos can be made in smart forms not in sap scripts
    smart forms is always easier since it s the advanced of sapscript concept..
    foor more clear differnce contacta technical consultant near u
    in case if u  dnt  want the pdf format  try  for either sapscripts and smartforms for the same format u  want or prepare ur own in  them
    thanks ans regards

  • Print Workbench file

    Hello
    I would like to know what is the best way to work with files in the print workbench. The 3rd part company wants to work with txt files.
    Should I create XML(SmartForm), or RDI(SAPscript) and then convert to txt?
    Online documentation has a lot of stuff, but i would like to know if someone has experienced the same problem.

    Use printer defined with device type ASCIIPRI when printing and set 'Standard format' as output format in the smartform general attributes.
    Regards
