Use of Adobe Interactive Forums

Former Member

Hi,

We have been asked to evaluate the use of Adobe Interactive Forms with SAP's External Service Management. The client desires to provide external contractors with Adobe Interactive Forms representing the SAP Service Entry Sheet. The external contractor will complete and submit the form which can then be uploaded into the Service Entry Sheet.

Additionally, there may be a requirement for a similar upload functionality with respect to a CATS timesheet. For their supplemental workforce, the client desires the ability to track time in CATS, and then use the 'CATM' transaction code to transfer time from CATS to a Service Entry Sheet in order to post the costs to a work order. Thus, the information required would be if the client has the ability to provide external contractors with an Adobe Interactive Form that mirrors the CATS timesheet, which will then be completed and uploaded into the SAP system in the CATS module.

Our team is currently weighing the viability of multiple options, with the use of Adobe Interactive Forms being one of them. Any information on possible technical solutions, feasibility, architecture for the use of Adobe Interactive Forms would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Akash

Hi Akash,

Filling an Adobe Form offline and uploading the data back is very much possible.

You may have a look at these -

Hi,

i havent tried the offfine scenario using WDA. i would request someone from SAP or who have worked in WDA offline form development to reply to this. (technically it must be possible). I would sugest you to use WDJ as it provide more flexibility (more features). WDA is stable though.

Rgds,
