ISU Printing

Hi All
I have one scenario where the bill printing by the utility company needs to be done outside the customer premise i.e. a 3rd party printing house.I have two queries
1.Should we use RDI file or XSF which one is preferable
2.If we use RDI,how will we chnage the data to the format compatible to printing house requirement,whats the best approach from your experience?

Hi Panda,
The use of RDI file or XSF would depend on the situation or the requirement. XSF lets you connect SAP Smart Forms to external text management and form printing tools. XSF  interface provides all form data from SAP R/3 but does not include layout information such as fonts or page size--these are defined by the external system.The BC-XSF interface is particularly useful for bulk mail processing since external systems can sort document data from the interface and forward the documents for bundling in conventional mail.
Use of RDI with external systems would be particularly useful where you have to manage Layouts,fonts and texts more extensively.For example, if you are using external Document Management System like Streamserve, sending a RDI file is recommended.
Hope that helps you take a decision on the use of RDI or XSF.

Amitav

    Hello,
    You need to attach application form for each and every Correspondence Type.
    Few of the Corr types are
    BL44 Outgoing Payment Confirmation
    BL45 Account Statement
    BL46 Capital Transfer Offer
    BL47 Payment Plan
    BL48 Rollover Offer
    BL49 Repayment
    BL50 Borrower Change Without Capital Transfe
    BL51 Deferral of Customer Loan
    BL52 Capitalization of Overdue Items CL
    BL53 Installment Plan Change CL
    BL54 Consumer Loan Confirmation
    BL55 Notice Given by Bank
    BL56 Rescind Credit Life Insurance
    BL57 Confirmation of Change
    BL58 Interest on Arrears Statement
    You can define them in IMG\FICA\Basic Functions\Correspondence\Define Correspondence types.
    <SAP provides lot of correspondence types. You have to copy them from client 000>
    After that you have to define application form for correspondence types in
    IMG\FICA\Basic Functions\Correspondence\Define Application Forms for Correspondence.
    You have to attach SAP defined correspondence forms.
    To trigger correspondence, you have to run FPCOPARA run mentioning relevant correspondence type.
    The data gets updated in table DFKKCOH.
    Do remember that apart from above config, there are various areas of correspondence config you need to do for different categories like Payments, Returns, Refunds , Dunning & Collection agency.
    For ex, for Returns, you attach  application form in Return reason codes, similarly for Dunning, you attach the application form in Dunning activites ...
    To view the list of Application forms, use T-Code EFRM
    Hope this helps

  • 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.
    with regards,

  • Installation lock error while uploading meter readings in sap isu

    Hi,
    Following is the process followed:-
    Execute EL35 transaction to generate MRO Print in SAP ISU.
    at back end a process is triggered where Meter readings are fetched from a data server and uploaded in the sap isu using BAPI BAPI_MTRREADDOC_UPLOAD as a background process after a propogation delay of a minute after executing EL35.
    If the el35 requesting is closed the meter readings get uploaded.
    However if the transaction is kept open then we get an error that installation is locked.
    Please advice if there is a way to dequeue this lock while trigerring the EL35 transaction in first place..

    Hi,
    Message - 'Format of MR 17737 not valid (MR document number 105677 ) signifies that number of pre-decimal places and number of post decimal places do not match with your register group configuration.
    Since, you are suggesting that your logic works in most of the cases, I think when meter overflow happens and while you are converting it to actual read - this reading do not match with pre-decimal and post decimal places.
    You need to double click on register group for a device, where you are facing this issue and then compare your calculated read in your code.
    Hope this helps.

I just bought new HP computer from Future shop and it came with Windows in it. but this windows8 doesnt have drivers for my printer Image Class MF 4350d. Now I hve no clue how can i fix this isue. Because I checked on Canon website for drivers and downloaded and run the drivers, but no solution for my printer at all.

    Yes. I have the latest version intalled but this hasnt helped.
    I thought it could be to do with the Shuffle not having enough of a battery charge.
    So i plugged it into the wall charger and then tried this didnt work either.
    It wont even play music for some reason. The only information I get in the earpiece when I turn it on is what the battery level is at.

    Hi A,
    Business content it's still using 3.x data flow. That's why you see a 3.x infosource.
    You won't have transformations for this. The update rules icon is like a transformation but with a small white square on the left.
    So the dataflow you should have is:
    Cube
      Update Rules (0IC_C03 2LIS_03_BF)
        3.x InfoSource (Material movements (as of 2.0B))
          Transfer Rules
            Datasource
    You'll see a small square next to all the objects, except for the cube. This means 3.x object.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Diego

  • Printing Standard TEXT  with multiple paragraphs in smartform

    Hello all,
    I have a requirement that, there is a very long standard text stored in a notification of an order in SAP ISU system. The text contains multiple paragraphs with indentations. I want to print this text directly into the smartform WITH SAME INDENTATION AND PARAGRAPH FORMATTING.
    First i am reading the entire text using FM READ_TEXT.
    My first  problem is even if i read the text into a variable of type STRING , it just prints 255 characters of it.
    And secondly if i try to printout it using LOOP AT node in smartforms, it prints the entire content but without any formatting .
    Please let me know whether it is possible to print standard text in smartforms or not
    Thanks
    Nilesh Puranik

    Hey ,
    Well thanks for that but my replies got posted 2-3 times unknowingly, could'nt help it.
    Coming to the problem, i  guess you did not get my point when i say dynamic texts for each service order.
    In my Report i am using LOOP AT ITAB ..where in itab i  am storing a service order no i.e. ITAB-ORDER_NO
    Now for every order there is standard text maintained in SO10 starting with order name
    so my code goes like this.
    LOOP AT ITAB.
    CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
      EXPORTING
        ID                            = 'LTXT'
        LANGUAGE            = 'E'
        NAME                      = ITAB-order_no
        OBJECT                   = 'QMSM'
      TABLES
        LINES                         = LINES .
    CALL <SMART FORM Fm>
    ENDLOOP.
    Hence whatever Standard text maintained for that service order i  want to display it as it is in the smartform with same paragraphs formatting and indentation.
    IF i use a variable in smartform and pass the entire text  after using READ_TEXT , it does not format the text  and it just prints only 255 characters even if i define it of type STRING .
    Hence i am stuck in this scenario.
    Appreciate ur help though.
    Thanks

  • How to assign SmartForms to Application Forms for SAP ISU

    Hi Experts,
    We are going to use PWB for bill printing in SAP ISU.
    I have worked with ECC6.0 for PWB and seen that there is an option available to assign Smart Forms to the Application form in EFRM with selecting SmartForm option available in a dropddown. And for transaction EFCS creating FormClass the checkbox is available to make it usable for SmartForms.
    But we are using SAP R/3 4.6C. But these option i am not able to see in 4.6C.
    Can anyone guide how we can use and assign SmartForms for Release 4.6C.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply, but what about doing DML on other tables in other schemas. The DBA has created roles and granted permission to the user and they can do DML thru SQL plus without problem but when same operation is attempted thru Oracle forms ORA-40508 and object does not exist errors come up.
    How does a forms knows which tables in the database (under their own schema or on others to which they have been granted rights to) are availabel. Is there a property setting in the pallate or something in forms runtime which would recognize varoius users and then let them do DML on various tables under their or others's schema.
    Thanks in advance
