Output issue in production for smartforms

Dear friends,
ther is an issue in printing of the form in production. the same smartform is working for few of the documents in production and not working for many of the documents. there is a message please filnd it below.
*Table INFO does not fit into window.*
*Message no. SSFCOMPOSER173*
*Diagnosis*
*You tried to display table INFO in a window. However, the table either is too wide for the window or a horizontal shift by the specified value is impossible because the table would then no longer fit into the window. The same error occurs if a template is too high for the current subwindow. This is usually noticed in the check when the form is activated, but in some cases (with device types such as ASCIIPRI) the table measurements have to be adapted and this does not occur until runtime. With device type ASCIIPRI, for example, only integral multiples of 1/6 inches (vertical) or 1/10 inches (horizontal) can be used for positioning. The height of a line within a template therefore changes, for example, from 3mm to 4.2mm, causing the total height of the template to increase and exceed the height of the window.*
*System Response*
*The system issues an error message.*
*Procedure*
*Correct the positioning of table INFO or make the window bigger*
i even increased the size of the form a lot
If any one find the problem please help me.
thanks and regards,
venkat.

Issue in Production for Workflow not getting Triggered .

Hi Guys,
I have a workflow, which is properly triggering in the development and Quality but not getting triggered in the Production. Can't get the Exaact reason because by using T-code PFTC when i test the workflow independantly its working properly and even BOR does not have any problem. Please Help me guys as this is a issue in Production.
The workflow is a customized one, It getting triggered throught the funtion call in User Exit of MM01.
Thanks

It getting triggered throught the funtion call in User Exit of MM01.
1. I hope the workflow customization is done properly in production system, as you stated that if you are trying to trigger from PFTC then it is working fine, can you please try to Refresh Organizational Environment from SBWP ---> On MEnu ---> Settings --> Workflow Settings ---> Refresh Organizational Environment and secondly try to refresh the buffer from txn SWU_OBUF
2. Make sure the user exit is transported to Production.
3. Check the workflow log from the txn SWIA if you have proper authorizations for the userid.

regards,

<b>Procedure</b>
     When we activate the Smartform the system generates a Function Module. The function module name we can get from Smartfrom screen from menubar
Environment => Function Module_Name . In a report we can get this Function module name by calling a Function Module standard SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. This function module at runtime calls the FM generated by smartform, which in turn is then used to pass data from the report to Smartform. In the report given below the FM generated is /1BCDWB/SF00000152 . In this FM we can see CONTROL_PARAMETERS in import tab. This is of type SSFCTRLOP. We need to set the GETOTF of this to be X. Setting this field will activate the OTF field in smartform.
In export tab of the FM generated by smartform we can see a parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO which is of type SSFCRESCL. The SSFCRESCL is a structure of having one of fields as OTFDATA. OTFDATA in turn is a table of type ITCOO. ITCOO has two fields TDPRINTCOM and TDPRINTPAR. TDPRINTCOM represents command line of OTF format data and TDPRINTPAR contains command parameters of OTF format data.
In every Smartform output in OTF format, TDPRINTCOM begins and ends with //. EP represents the end-of-page value for TDPRINTCOM field.
In addition we need to set few fields at the place where we call this FM(generated by smartform) in our program. While calling this FM we should set control_parameters, output_options, user_settings and job_putput_info fields as shown in program.
Once these settings are done we can call Function Module CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF data of smartfrom output to PDF data format. Once these are done we can call method cl_gui_fronted_services=>file_save_dialog to specify the directory path where we want to save the output PDF file. After this we can call Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the PDF file on our local system.

Unit Price in Issue for Production for Item with wrong UoM

Dear All,
In issue for production the item cost being picked does not match either our Last Purchase Price or Price List1. In some cases the price considered is an average:
Eg:- For Item A with Purchase UoM in Nos. and Inventroy UoM in Gms, we had not enetred the conversion factor i.e 1 No=100g. Thus GRN was made for 25 Nos. @ Rs.450/Unit. But actual stock was 2500g. Hence to rectify the stock we made an OB entry for 2475 as on GRN date with zero Price. Thus total stock was 2500 and Value 25*450=RS.11250
When we did an Issue for Production for this item: Qty:400g, the unit price considered was Rs.28.125 when the actual price to be considered is Rs.450[Unit Cost]/100 [UoM Conversion]=Rs4.5. We had entered Rs.4.5 in Price List1 and had selected this price list in the BoM as we had not entered a conversion factor in the Item Master Data and SAP does not allow alterations to this tab once the Item is involved in transactions.
I think the system calculated the price as follows: (25450+14750)/400=Rs.28.175
How do we avoid/correct this in the future?

If you need the stock price correct, the only option might be creating a new item with correct information in the first place. Once you have error data to start with, there is no way to corrected as you wish.
Thanks,
Gordon

Photoshop batch production - issues with 'save for web'

Hi,
I'm having an issue with 'save for web' on a batch. I've just spent the last 2 hours searching the web and this forum and although the issue gets touched upon, the threads either suddenly head off in another direction, end, or i just struggle to make sense of the answers given.
I have 350 images that i want to resize to thumbnails and then save for web. 2 hours ago this seemed like a 5 minute job.
I creat an action called 'batch_thumbnail' and press 'Record'.
I then select 'File' > 'Open' and select an image to open using the dialog box.
I then select 'Image' > 'Image Size' and resize the image to the thumbnail size (200 x 125) and press 'OK'.
I then select 'File' > 'Save for Web and Devices', set my optimisation settings and press 'save'.
Using the dialog box that pops up, i navigate to a pre-created directory called 'thumbs' and press 'save'.
I then select 'File' > 'Close' and on the dialog box that pops up i select 'Don't Save'.
I then stop the action from recording.
So far so good.
I then select 'File' > 'Automate' > 'Batch...' and the dialog box appears.
I select my action in the 'Action' drop down menu.
In 'Source' i set the drop down menu to 'Folder', select 'Choose' and select the target directory with my 350 images in.
In 'Destination' i set the drop down menu to 'Folder', select 'Choose' and select the target directory (thumbs), where i wish to save the thumbs.
In 'File Naming' i leave the first box as 'document name', set the second to '_thumb' and have the third as 'extension'.
I then click 'OK'.
And this is where the problem begins. Everything works fine till it trys to save the second image. I can see what's happening, as the directory path and image name that are used whilst setting up the SFW part of the action, are getting hardcoded into the action. So every resulting image is being saved as the same file, instead of being overriden by the settings in 'File Naming'.
I've tried selecting 'Override action 'Save' command', but it doesn't make any difference. Is it actually possible to batch produce files using 'Save for Web and Devices'?
Cheers,
James

I have written a couple of Save For Web batch processors, they may be of use to you?
They can both resize and run an action if required.

Issue in attachment of smartform to VF03

Hi Experts,
I have done research still the issue is not solved.
I have to attach customized smartform in vf03. When the user clicks the print option, it should open the print preview of the smartform. In menu, when I click billing document-->issue output to, it says 'No output has been selected for printing'.
How to do it? Please guide.

just assign standard driver program with your customized and see the results.
based on that you copy standard one to Z , and make the changes again as per your requirement.

PO output issue

Hello all Gurus,
I have a problem with the PO output form. We have created new output types and tested them in quality environment and found that the PO is generating the correct output. Then we moved these output types to production environment and tested with our production user ids. There also, the system generated the correct PO output forms.
But when my client tested the outputs he is not getting data in Bill to address and Registration boxes. These two boxes contains the company code address. The system is displaying only the hardcoded data for the client. Not the company code data which is picked up from the tables through the form program. Can somebody suggest me why my client is getting this issue when we are not getting with our user ids in production?
Also, I don't think this is a problem of authorization roles, since this issue is coming only for the company code 3278.
For the rest of the company codes, the user is getting the correct PO forms. Only for Company code 3278, he is getting the incorrect output issue.
We tried to modify the program by updating the font size and character format. But this didn't work.
This issue has been there in my queue since the last one month and it has exceeded the permitted time limit. We are really bothered about this issue but not getting any correct solution for this.
Please, somebody provide me some valuable suggestions on this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Umakanth.

Murugan,
1. For the client's user id, the PO output is not showing the company code data in the PO output form. But when we are trying to see the same thing in production in ME23N (we don't have access to make changes in production), we are getting the correct PO form that shows the company code address also.
2. The company code 3278 and output types were created at the same time and moved to production.

Background for smartforms

Hi,
Please explain me the steps for creating background in smartforms.
Regards,
Sreeja

Displaying a Background Picture for Copy Purposes
Use
In your business procedures, you may often want to use existing forms as patterns for creating new ones. You can easily do this by scanning the exising form into the computer, displaying it as background picture, and copying it over. In the Form Painter, you can use windows to copy over the output areas of a form; in the Table Painter, you can use cells to copy over templates. This section describes how to do it.
Prerequisites
You must import any graphics into the SAP System using Administering Form Graphics (transaction SE78 ):
Double-click a graphic format in the tree structure in the folder Document Server ® GRAPHICS ® General graphics.
Choose Graphic ® Import.
The transaction imports the graphic and stores it on the Business Document Server (BDS). Now you can display it in a form.
See also: Graphic Administration.
Procedure
Insert your graphic as background picture of a page (see: Creating Pages). The graphic appears in the Form Painter as soon as you update your entries by pressing ENTER .
Use the Form Painter to overlay the graphic with a window. To make this easier, select the option Transparent Window on the General tab of the Form Builder settings ().
Create a template in this window. To position the template, set the Vertical Alignment to Absolute (from top). You find this option on the Template tab in the Details view.
Without this setting, SAP Smart Forms cannot display a background picture in the Table Painter, because then the vertical position of the template in the window depends on previous, possibly dynamic, output.
If you encounter problems when trying to set the vertical alignment, save your Smart Form, exit SAP Smart Forms completely, and call the form again. See also Note 375087 in the SAPNet.
When you switch to the Table Painter after making these settings, an additional checkbox Display Background Picture appears. Mark this checkbox.
Result
The background graphic appears in the Table Painter. The right and left margins in the Table Painter, as usual, correspond to the right and left window borders. Copy over the lines of the pattern. To draw lines more exact, deactivate the Align With Grid attribute in the Table Painter.
With complex patterns, divide the page into several windows. This makes it easier to copy over the individual smaller patterns.
Step wise
SMART FORM Creation
uSING TABLE IN Smart Form
1) Tcode --> SmartForms
2) Form name --> Z_SF_TEST Create
3) Under Global settings
a) Form Interface
Table Tab
ITAB LIKE EKPO
b) GLOBAL Definitions
WA_NETPR LIKE EKPO-NETPR
In smart forms if we want to display quantity and currency fields. We can't directly display currency field and quantity fields
For that we have to create an extra variable in global definitions
Ex: netpr FIELD of EKPO
CREATE program lines and specify WA_NETWR = itab-netpr.
4) RT CLick on main Window
CREATE --> TABLE
Click Table painter
DEFAULT %LTYPE will be Created
a) If you want more like Header footer etc add by rt click on %LTYPE1
Table (Tab)
%LTYPE Radio(SELECT) 5 CM 5 CM 6 CM
CLICK on DATA (Tab)
INTERNAL TABLE ITAB LIKE ITAB
5)RT click on table control and create --> program lines
General attribute (Tab)
INPUT PARAMETER OUTPUT PARAMETER
itab WA_NETPR
Code Area
WA_NETWR = ITAB-NETPR.
6) RT CLcick on table ctl and create 3 text to display the fields
a) % text1 +button(insert field)
FIELD name &itab-ebeln&
Output options (tab)
Check New line LINETYPE %Ltype1
check new cell
b) % text2
& itab-ebelp&
output options
check new cell
c) % text2
& wa_netpr&
output options
check new cell
Report ac
Tables ekpo.
Data: itab1 like ekpo occurs 0 with header line.
select * into table itab1 from ekpo.
Call function module
Smartforms are same as sapscripts. The transaction code to create the smart forms is SMARTFORMS. Check out these sites for step by step procedure.

I suggest you to use the Unit CH(CHARACTERS) for the Left Margin and Width and
LN(LINES) for Upper margin and Height
SMARTFORMS STEPS.
1. In Tcode se11 Create a structure(struct) same like the Internal table that you are going to use in your report.
2. Create Table type(t_struct) of stracture in se11.
3. In your program declare Internal table(Itab) type table of structure(struct).
4. Define work area(wa) like line of internal table.
5. Open Tcode Smartforms
6. In form Global setting , forminterface Import parameter define Internal table(Itab) like table type of stracture(t_struct).
7. In form Global setting , Global definitions , in Global data define Work area(wa) like type stracture(struct).
8. In form pages and window, create Page node by default Page1 is available.
9. In page node you can create numbers of secondary window. But in form there is only one Main window.
10. By right click on page you can create windows or Go to Edit, Node, Create.
11. After creating the window right click on window create table for displaying the data that you are passing through internal table.
12. In the table Data parameter, loop internal internal table (Itab) into work area(wa).
13. In table there are three areas Header, Main Area, Footer.
14. Right click on the Main area create table line by default line type1 is there select it.
15. Divide line into cells according to your need then for each cell create Text node.
16. In text node general attribute. Write down fields of your work area(wa) or write any thing you want to display.
17. Save form and activate it.
18. Then go to Environment, function module name, there you get the name of function module copy it.
19. In your program call the function module that you have copied from your form.
20. In your program in exporting parameter of function pass the internal table(itab).
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can
configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module.
You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output.
You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired.
SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.

What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time.
You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics.
To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes.
These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one.
For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form.
Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.
SmartForms System Fields
Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing.
System fields of Smart Forms
&SFSY-DATE&
Displays the date. You determine the display format in the user master record.
&SFSY-TIME&
Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS.
&SFSY-PAGE&
Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES&
Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
&SFSY-WINDOWNAME&
Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field)
&SFSY-PAGENAME&
Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field)
&SFSY-PAGEBREAK&
Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic or command-controlled )
&SFSY-MAINEND&
Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends
&SFSY-EXCEPTION&
Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the user_exception macro (syntax: user_exception ).
Example Forms Available in Standard SAP R/3
SF_EXAMPLE_01
Simple example; invoice with table output of flight booking for one customer
SF_EXAMPLE_02
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_01 but with subtotals
SF_EXAMPLE_03
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_02, whereby several customers are selected in the application program; the form is called for each customer and all form outputs are included in an output request
Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)
