quite a difficult task.

At first you need either items of fixed height, or you need to create those boxes dynamically. Since you dont know how much items will get printed you need to create them half dynamically anyway.

I´d strongly recommend you to do this is SMARTFORMS rather than in sap-script. Cause smartforms got the tools for such tasks, and makes it quite easy while in SAP-SCRIPT it is one of the hardest requirements to come by.

Hi Naren,

It is better to use Smartform. You take a table and use boxes over there. and in case of material description you can truncate that in two texts and display that in two different line, means just like wrap text. Then there will be no chance for crossing the box.

And also if you use Smartform i think there will be no problem in alignment also.
