Smartforms–Hands-on Exercises

Abstract

Chapter 3 introduced you to Smartforms as an enhanced tool, compared to SAP script, to maintain business document layouts. Chapter 3 described the Smartforms environment, its components, and the different tools available to maintain the layout of business documents. As with SAP scripts in Chapter 1, in Chapter 3 we focused for the most part on the form component of Smartforms. Creating and maintaining business document layouts involves working mostly with forms. Chapter 3 also described driver programs (ABAP programs) associated with forms and the transfer of data from the driver programs to Smartforms forms through the form parameters. Demonstration exercises were performed to highlight and convey different concepts of Smartforms. In the present chapter, we will apply the Smartforms features introduced in Chapter 3 to implement business scenarios. As in Chapter 2, we are terming the implementation of business scenarios as “hands-on exercises.”.
