Invoice Adobe form.

Hi All
I have worked on Invoice Smartform but this time I am going to create an Invoice form in Adobe.
So there in Smartform I have used the standard structures(Output_options,Control_parameters) like while calling the form in Smartform for Invoice.
But in Adobe how can we pass the parameters and which interface we will ve to call in FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME??
Please help.
Regards
Deepanker

Hi Deepanker
Robert is quite right - you can create your own interface, since the form you will be creating will be your own...
Remember that in transaction NACE you will also be specifying your own print program, and the FORM routine in that print program that kicks off the printing. In this form, you can retrieve the data as you need it, then put it in the interface that the Adobe Form will need (i.e. how you want it) and call the Adobe Form from your print program.
In other words, both your print program and the form will be created by you. Just specify them both in NACE.
If you do not want to go with this approach, then find a standard sample of an Invoice form in SFP using F4 help (an example would be form FMCA_INVOICE_SAMPLE_PDF, but I don't know whether this suits your requirements) and copy this form. This will therefore have the correct interface already. Then you can just modify the copied form.
Kind regards,
Casper

Invoice Adobe form giving runtime error

Hi All,
I have configured standard adobe form for invoice in nace. Print prog - SD_BIL_PRINT01 and adobe form - SD_INVOICE_FORM01. When i run the billing document, i am getting error message - Type conflict when calling the function module (Call to function module /1BCDWB/SMxxxxxxxxx is incorrect). I am using the standard program n form, then why this error.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi,
In the Print prog - SD_BIL_PRINT01, there is
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name
    EXPORTING
      /1bcdwb/docparams = ls_docparams
      bil_prt_com       = gs_bil_print.
GS_BIL_PRINT is of type BIL_S_PRT_INTERFACE.
In the adobe form SD_INVOICE_FORM01, I think the interface used is SLS_INTERFACE. In the interface SLS_INTERFACE, the
import parameter SLS_PRT_COM is of type SLS_S_PRT_INTERFACE.
Since the export parameter of the print program and the import parameter of the form interface are of different data types, the error is coming.
Change the interface of the form to BIL_INTERFACE. In this interface, the inport parameter BIL_PRT_COM is of type BIL_S_PRT_INTERFACE.

Adobe Forms - Translation error (Omitted Objects (Could not be Converted):)

Hi Experts,
I have developed an invoice(adobe forms) in my development server and translated this invoice for FRENCH(F) and moved this request to Quality server and now i am trying to translate the same form for GERMANY(DE) in dev server, i am getting a message when i am saving the object "Omitted Objects (Could not be Converted):" and the text are not changed (which means english text remains not changed while translating into DE)
i hope it is not related to SAP Logon GUI problem, because i developed a sample form and i tested it for some languages(while translating, it has not pgiven any error message like "Omitted Objects (Could not be Converted):". am using SAP 710 release and patch 14)
Please help me to solve this problem

Migrate invoice printing to adobe forms

Hi all,
I want to evaluate ADOBE forms in order to decide whether it is useful to migrate SD printing from SAPScript to ADOBE forms.
To do that I would like to print a sample form (invoice) with this technology. Is there a sample form and a sample interface that could be used for invoice printing?
How do I have to customize the output type to make it work with ADOBE forms?
Thank you for any hints.
Regards
Norman

Hi,
migration from script to adobe is a big problem.
dont go for that.
many problems will come after migration, the time to take rectification is more than the development directly.
Thank U

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

Performance issue with Adobe forms

Dear SAP Experts,
We have the following issue/requirement from our client. The client is on SAP ECC 6.0 - production environment.
The client is highlighting performance issue while accessing the adobe forms for HR and FI business process ( both static and interactive ).
                Examples are
    FI – Invoice Approvals
                HR – Job Salary Change
The client is asking us to provide best practices surrounding:
1.       How to improve the performance of the adobe forms while accessing in SAP.
2.       Is there any other technology which we can use in SAP to replace the adobe forms which has better performance factor.
3.       Are there solutions such as webdynpro floor plan manager, UI Fiori which can be alternately used?
Regards,
Sakthi

Hello Priya,
     Adobe forms are easy to develop and much more comfortable than SAP Scripts and Smartforms. Initially they are a bit difficult but once you have your hands on, they are the most simplest things in ABAP.
Performance in Adobe forms is a mix of both fine tuning the Layout as well as back end coding.
Performance in Adobe forms cannot be done overnight. A lot of care has to be taken during the initial stage of development.
As far as my experience is concerned, please consider the below points while developing SAP Adobe forms.
1) Avoid Scripting (Javascript/Formcalc) as much as possible inside the form. It drastically reduces the performance and makes the form to execute slower. If you still want to use scripting(which cannot be avoided for some requirements), use Formcalc since it is comparatively faster than JavaScript.
2) Try to avoid the coding inside the Form Interface. You can always handle the maximum coding in the Driver program and pass it to the form.
3) Use Form Caching.
For forms that have fixed layout, its a good way to increase the performance of form rendering. In the layout, go to Form Properties. Then Click on Defaults tab and select Allow Form Rendering To Be Cached On Server. Then Click OK.
For forms that have flowable or dynamic layout, render the forms on the client side because it improves performance.
Last but not the least, please go through the below post by Otto Gold which is worth a read at least once.

Hii,
Try to add one more field for text field for each line item and make sure use a flag .
if the flag is true then make it visible use the below JavaScript code to hide a particular field.
his script will hide the field in runtime if it is initial.
hidden or presence make sure use the conditions as per the require to hide the text or to make it visible
Enter the below JavaScript in the editor & Select the language as JavaScript.
if(this.rawValue == null)
this.presence = "hidden";

Adobe forms from scratch - Standard programs?

Hi,
I have just begun trying to implement Adobe forms from scratch at my company. Previosly we have used an external printing solution so I can't convert anything. My plan is to create a new output medium and let the users select the new type by themself. But I have a couple of questions:
1. How do I create a new medium (Examples: Print output/Fax/Telex, as found in t-code NACT - Processing routines)
2. I guess there are SAP standard printing programs, interfaces and forms, but I can't find them. I need to be able to print all the usual docs from orders, deliveries and invoices. All I have in NACT are old home-made (Z*) programs so if you know what SAP think we should use now, please let me know!
We have ERP6 ehp4 on netweaver 7 ehp1 and I have created one "Adobe form" myself so I can confirm that it works. but I don't want to invent the wheel twice...
Thanx in advance!
Br Linus Hellsing

Hi Linus,
I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an opportunity that I am having regarding Adobe forms development efforts?
If so, please read on:
Our offshore team has worked on a development effort to replace Smart Forms PO's and Contracts with Adobe forms. They created new output types for these Adobe forms. In testing I noticed that the only way I can get them to print - is if I go into Print Preview and print -or- use SP01 and click on the .pdf icon and print. In both cases it uses Adobe Acrobat to perform the actually printing.
We cannot seem to get them to print using the normal SAP message utility. Our users would expect to continue to:
1. Use the Messages button while in the PO document - and select the new output type along with Meduim= Printed Output...
2. Then they select Further data button - to specify Send Immediately.
3. Then they use the Communication Method tab and specify the Logical Destination (as LOCL) and click on the Check box for Print immediately.
They get what appears to be an rambling of Adobe error lines followed by many blank pages....
At this point I am not sure if the print program is working correctly - or if the problem is with Adobe Document Services?
Have you ever encountered a situation like this during your Adobe development efforts?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

How to avoid Print pop-up while using a Adobe form.

Hi Experts,
I am calling a adobe form from a BAPI.I am using the following function modules FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME and CALL FUNCTION fun_name. But when I try to execute the BAPI a print preview pop-up appears.Please let me know the steps to avoid the print preview pop-up while execution of the BAPI.
Thanks in Advance.
Warm Regards,
Arun.

Hello
I don´t understand the connection between BAPI and the printing program. I guess - at least that is what I have done - is to generate the form when creating and invoice or something, then I could understand.
When you ask for GETPDF = 'X' then you always get the PDF data back and not the popup.
Or if you would like to display the print preview without a print settings popup. Or variants...
FUNCTION ZPDF_SET_OUTPUT_MODE.
*"*"Lokální rozhraní:
*" CHANGING
*" VALUE(FP_OUTPUTPARAMS) TYPE SFPOUTPUTPARAMS
fp_outputparams-dest = 'ZPDF'.
fp_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
fp_outputparams-preview = 'X'.
ENDFUNCTION.

Edited by: Flavien Gagoum on Feb 26, 2009 10:30 AM

Hi Flavien Gagoum
In Adobe form, there are two types of forms are available.
1. Static (Which can not be changed)
2. Interactive (Which can be chaged, and we can make some / Many fiels disabled)
So for your case, try to use Static form, hope you have used interactive form.
Thanks and Regards

Multiple copies in Adobe form with different header text

Hi All,
I have created Adobe form for Invoice and now my requirement is when we create an invoice it should generate 4 copies with different texts like original copy, duplicate copy and triplicate copy.
I know its possible in samrtforms using the copy window and maintaing text there.Is it possible in adobe form , if yes how can we achieve this.
Regards
Lalit

Are you using a custom driver program?
If yes, then loop the function module with the number of copies you have.
the copy name should be a variable which should be passed to the form in the loop change the value of the copy control accordingly.
Please let me know, if you see any issues.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Go to the docs for java.lang.System.
Click on the link out. That will take you to the docs for whatever class out is. Look through that class' docs for methods other than println that might do what you want.

Hiding Pages in ADOBE form using formcalc scripting.

Hi Experts,
I am new to ADOBE form and currently working on invoice print output. (NOT an Interactive adobe form)
My requirement is
i wanted to print one main page and 5 different annexures(anexures are having different layouts so is in diff forms and contained in diff pages)
Deppending on 'Oreder reason' (made as global variable) , i need to select appropriate annexure and print
main page and any one of the annexure.
so i should hide all other annexure, to achive this i used formcalc scripting.
i tried hiding annexure 2 by following code,
data.Annexure2::ready:form - (FormCalc, client)
if ( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" )
then $.presence = "hidden"
endif
i have passed value 'ANX' to this , i could see the value of order reason printed on page Annexure2 but it is not executing (getting in to if condition) condition and not hiding the page ...
Experts please help me...
this way i have to hide 4 other annexures...please help me or give me some other option to achive this.
thanks and regards
varun
Edited by: skyblue on Aug 6, 2011 3:30 PM

coding Formcalc is a pain.
But you're doing the right thing by passing in a variable and hiding based on the content of it.
Here's an example of where I'm hiding a subform on a page.
if ( main_sf2.charter_only.CHARTER_DOC.rawValue eq "X" ) then
main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "visible"
else
main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "hidden"
endif
Looks like your code is similar - try changing
( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" ) to
( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue eq "ANX" )
or instead of $.presence = "hidden" fully qualify the name of your page to data.Annexure2.presence = "hidden"
