Using Smartforms with Dunning

Hi,
I want to use a smartform (e.g. the default F150_DUNN_SF) but can't get it to work. I know the procedure:
- go to Customizing - Financial Accounting Global Settings - Tools - Customer Enhancements - Business Transaction Events -> Settings | P/S modules | ...of an SAP appl.
- change the FM for 1720 from FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE to FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_SMARTF
- go to Customizing - Financial Accounting (New) - Accounts Receivable and Payable - Business Transactions - Dunning - Printout - Assign Dunning forms
- select a procedure and double click "Forms for normal dunning procedure" and enter a company code. Then I get the names of the forms used for each level and should be able to change them.
There is the problem: when I fill in a smartform, like the default F150_DUNN_SF, I get the error "Form F150_DUNN_SF is not defined or is not active" (while clearly it is both). I'm guessing he only looks for sapscript forms.
So how do I specify which smartform to use for Dunning? Has anyone managed to do this? I've read all the help and forum posts about this, saw some other people with the same problem, but no solution posted.

I actually knew that I was supposed to ignore the error, but I couldn't get it to save. But your reply made me try clicking the green checkmark and that was the key to saving. So thank you, problem solved

Printing Dunning Letters using Smartforms

Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein I need to print dunning letters using smartforms; the dunning data are extracted in program SAPF150D2;I modified the subroutine OFI_DUN_ACT to call function module FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_SMARTF.
Now I need to extract the dunning data in program SAPF150D2 to be imported to my new form using GET_SF_DUNN_DATA, my question is where do I code the calling of FM GET_SFG_DUNN_DATA? I'm a little bit confused on the step by step process of the dunning data extraction to printing of the form... Thanks...

In the INITIALIZATION of the Smartforms, after the call to GET_SF_DUNN_DATA, you have a many informations back, of which the record of MHNK and an internal table of MHND, which you can use to select other informations from database.
So fill or enrich your own internal table in the initialization.
I enclose thereafter a sample to help you

Interactive document using Smartforms

Hi,
The customer wants an interactive page to be developed using Smartforms with editable text field and checkboxes. Can this be done in Smartforms? If yes then can you please tell how to do it?
I thought Smartforms in for output only. Can it be used to take inputs and perform some events based on these inputs?
Please reply asap as the customer is behind me and I need to say if it is possible or not..
Thanks in advance,
Rashmi

Rashmi,
You will have to use the new ADOBE forms, which are interactive and the user can enter data. But I think its available with WAS 6.40. The transaction code is SFP.
I am not sure which version of SAP / BASIS your on. If you are SAP R/3 4.6C or 4.7, this might not work.
Hope this helps.

Ravi

Printing dunning notices using SMARTFORMS,error during parameter transfer

Hi Friends,
                I face a error message "Include text ZGA_DUN_HDR does not exist (object TEXT, ID ST)" when i run the dunning run.
                I had searched every node for text ZGA_DUN_HDR in the smartform,I didnt find the text in it.
However when I execute the smart form for print preview an error message "Printing dunning notices using SMARTFORMS,error during parameter transfer".This error i believe is due to wrong parameter passing in the fm 'GET_SF_DUNN_DATA'.It raises an error no_parameters_found.All parameters are passed correctly.
                Can you guys help me out.

Issuw with dunning

Hi All,
I have an issue with dunning. The said customer has a base line date / due date as 24.11.2008 and in the dunning procedure the first level states to dun 21 days prior ( ie 21- ), so the date on which the first letter to get generated is 03.11.2008. But the system is not picking the said document and throwing an error as below :
Document 5400998325/2008/001 days in arrears 21- <= 0
Message no. FM 809
I have checked and did not find any incoming payment detail or method in the said entry. Customer master is also updated with the dunning procedure and dunning area.
Can any one guide me on this?

Hi Thimmaiah.
if the due date for payment is in the future it should not usually be dunned, unless there are some other documents for the same customer that are very overdue. In this case, the system might select the items that are not overdue and include them on the dunning letter as 'informational items'. Please check your customising in FBMP for the dunning procedure you are using, and for the dunning level in question, and uncheck the 'print all items' box. Then retest the dunning run.

Emoke

Try this. A simple sample Smart Form.
SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
SMARTFORMS
Declare your table type in :-
Global Settings -> Form Interface
Global Definintions -> Global Data
Main Window -> Table -> DATA

SMARTFORMS GENERATION: (calling internal table fields)
 Open a smartform using the tcode smartforms.
 Usually form attributes shows admn data.
 In the form interface declare import/export parameters if any. Else declare the tables in tables tab button.
 In the windows and pages expand and create a table. It automatically generates header, main area and footer for the table.
 In data tab button in the table we usually declare a work area to bring the data from se38. Like: ktab into wa. ( The purpose of declaring the wa is , to get the data of the ktab in to header from the body area of the internal table).
 And in the tablepainter pushbutton in table we can have any no of line types. Depending on the requirement. ( for ex: If we want to devide a row in to 4 columns, we can devide it as 4,4,4,4cm as line type 1, And usually for the footer we dont need no of columns, So, we declare it as one column with 16cm measure with the name line type 2.). We can use these line types in the tables.
 In the header right click>>create>>tableline. It asks for line type. Select one line type which is appropriate.
 Like same create a row2 in main area using right click. If we select the line type 1, it automatically generates 4 cells. We can create text in each cell as per requirement.
 We can generate general attributes using general attributes tab button in the text. Or in the other way. We can switch on the field list on/off button from the application tool bar. It displays all the attributes in the left down corner of the screen. We can drag and drop the required fields in the general attributes tab button of the text.
 We continue the same procedure for all the texts. The texts should be displayed in the gray color. Then only it can collects the data from the abap editor fields.
 If it wont turns gray, we can check the fields in the editor by changing it to the line editor. The best thing is to drag the fields from the list, rather than declaring like &wa-matnr&
 In the footer also we create a line type and in that table line we create text.

In the method I we are calling the amartform dynamically using the function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'.
Here we are exporting form name and importing fm_name.
So we need to declare the variable fm_name as
data: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM.
We can have the type of the fm_name in the function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' (in the export tab button).
Since we are passin the name of the Function module generated by the smart form in to the fm_name variable. We run the function module with the name fm_name, but not the FM generated by the smartform(like /1BCDWB/SF00000199)¬¬¬¬¬¬.
In the method II we directly call the smartform generated function module (i.e, /1BCDWB/SF00000199).
But the method I is recommended. In the method I, The fm_name is a variable we dont put it in the quotes while calling.
In the both methods we declare the internal table using the like option, but not begin of. end of. And in select statement we select *, But not individual fields.

Error "number out of range" in pdf sent through mail using smartform outpu

Hi Experts,
We have a program which sends mail using smartform output in 'PDF' format. We are able to preview smartform correctely in SAP and mail is also getting sent fine with attachment of form as PDF document. But, when we try to open the document, it gives error saying 'Number out of range'. Also, not all of the windows of smartform are appearing in document and some are coming only half.
We are not able to find out the reason for this. Any help would be appriciated.

Hi Soumya,
Have you got the solution as we are facing the same issue.

Smartform with Cyrillic characters

I have a smartform with Russian characters that works fine when using the font courcyr, but when using timecyr I get '#' in place of the cyrillic characters. I have no problem using the timecyr with sapscript, but the only way I can print cyrillic characters in a smartform is with courcyr and I want to use timecyr. Do smartforms use a different set of fonts than sapscript? Any ideas?
Thanks
Craig

The language of the sapscript might be russian and smartform is not translated to russian.
If you are using message control for printing, make sure the output issued in the language you are trying to print.

Printing Smartform with Table data from PrintProgram

Hi,
Can any one explain the steps involved in printing the Smartform with the data from the Print Program table. How to fit table in the Smartform i.e, while designing the Smartforms layout for the table.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
As data is coming from the print program in the table. Do the following procedure
1. In the form interface ---> Declare the internal table as same structure as in the print program. for ex: you r passing MARA table data then declare it as itab type table of mara.
2. In the window you want to create the table, right click > create> table.
3. Go to data tab give the internal table name and work area .
4. Now go to General tab-->Details.
5. Declare the line types.
6. Right click on header/main area/footer -->create table line.
7. Now give the line type which you want to use.
8. In the displayed columns>right click> create text node.
9. In the text node &mara-matnr&.
Procedure to create line type:
1. Double click on table
2. Go to table tab --> details
3. Give the table width (width you want to display on the screen should be less than or equal to the window width).
4. Line type --> Divide this into no of column you want to have in header/item.
Note: total length of all columns should be equal to the table width.
5.save.

RMA FORM USING SMARTFORMS

I have been requested to make a Return Material Authorization RMA form using smartforms.
My questions are: Is there any standard template/format in SAP I can use. And if there is, is there any standard ABAP program which i can use with the form (if one is required) and what are the steps to take to do and complete this task.
N.B i hava a Functional Spec docu for this and i'm also expected to write a Tech Design Docu. for it.
I'll be grateful for your help

Hi,
I think there are some examples you can use, but smartforms is quite easy to learn. I think that the SF "/SAPDII/RETPA_LIST" might be sort of what you are looking for, but if you find it to dificult, just start a new one. The SAP Help is pretty easy to follow.
As for the program to "call" the form, you will have to develop yourself, but unlike SAPSCRIPT you won't need to control the drawing of the form. In smartforms, the form generates a Function Module with an Interface, which will control the drawing of the form. The program only needs to get the info necessary and then call the FM generated with the parameters you defined in the form.
You will need only to know one FM to call the form within the report.
FM SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME - This one will return the name of the FM that was generated by the form. Parameter is the name of the smartform and return is the name of the FM.
Then you just call the FM that was returned in the previous FM (usually names are something like "/1BCDWB/SF00000006").
Reward points if found helpful....
Cheers,
Chandra Sekhar.
