Advantages of smartforms

Business Documents

With the Object Control approach newly created documents will be implemented quicker. As well more elaborate Business Documents can be expected.

eMail Distribution

Beyond doubt this functionality is so dearly missing within the SAPscript domain of Documents. The cost savings that a company can experience by having the choice to distribute documents internal and external to the Business can be achieved so quickly. Of equal importance is the turn around time for the outcome of that documents purpose.

SAP ArchiveLink

By its nature, a SAPscript Document becomes a legal business transaction and thereby subject to the 6 year Statue of Limitations for Liabilities or 7 years for the Statue of Limitations pertaining to Taxes. Essentially if a company is not keeping a Paper Version as a record on SAPscript issued documents then the company is vulnerable.

SAP Archive Link is being proposed by SAP as a means to save versions of Documents and eliminate this vulnerability. Smart Forms is being designed from the outset to accommodate SAP ArchiveLink.

An overview on ArchiveLink can be seen in the article "SAPscript / Smart Form Archiving Technologies"

Reports

Because Smart Forms is a Function it becomes callable by any ABAP. In addition with the ABAP call functionality within the Navigational Panel, general everyday Reports could be written in Smart Forms.

By doing this the eMail and SAP Archive Component become available. Also the "Table" control in Smart Forms is brilliant.

Interfaces

With a single toggle of the Header "XSL" Attribute of a Smart Form the output generated against this Form is now in XML. This functionality will allow Interfaces to unfold.

Work Flow

Given that Smart Forms are callable from an ABAP program then it lends itself to Work Flow Tasks.

WEB Pages

A natural evolution would be an Output Format that is WEB enabled. The author feels bold enough to project "Smart Forms" evolving into "WEB Forms".
