Hi Ashwini...

Forms are useful in the foloowing areas...

1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.

2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)

3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.

4. Colored output of texts

5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms

6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables

7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)

8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)

9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools

10. Flexible reuse of text modules

11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)

12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)

& along with that the more applications in :

1. eError Control

2. billing

3. inbound dekliveries

4. sales activities

5. purchasing

6. entry sheet

7. procurement

8. automotive

9. jit call

Smart Forms

we use Smart Forms to create and maintain forms for mass printing in SAP systems. Besides using the printer for standard output you can also select the Internet (by using a generated HTML output), a fax, or e-mail as the output medium.

In addition to the tool, SAP delivers a selection of forms for central business processes. This includes forms in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) as well as in the applications SD, FI, and HR.

Smart Forms offers the following advantages:

· Creating and maintaining forms requiring half the time

· Adapting forms without any programming knowledge due to entirely graphical user interface

· Integrating input elements into the HTML output, which enables you to use a form in Internet applications as well

Note
Smart Forms replace SAPscript forms. SAPscript forms will still be supported in the future; you can use them without making any changes for years to come. You can even use SAPscript texts in the Smart Forms. Migration of SAPscript forms into Smart Forms is supported.

Forms in Business Workflow

You can use forms to enter data for processing in Business Workflow, or to display and edit data. Using forms also enables users who do not have a SAPGUI installed on their computer to use the SAP System.

Interactive Forms based on Adobe software

Several functions have been added to Interactive Forms based on Adobe software in SAP NetWeaver 2004s SPS 8. This Release Note lists the most important new features:

Changes to the Creation of Forms in ABAP Workbench

A link to the documentation environment in transaction SE61 has been added to Form Builder. You can now create F1 help documentation for each of your forms or form interfaces (form objects).

Runtime (ABAP)

Performance has been improved by removing the load on communication with Adobe document services when sending forms. For more detailed information, see the documentation on Interactive Forms based on Adobe software under Structure Bundling of PDF-Based Forms and Structure Caching Forms.
