How best to manage global forms

[Former Member]

Looking for the best way to manage "Global forms". Where the same form (Output) may have different data displayed based on the country it is printed from.

Let's just use BA00, Order Confirmation as an example.

In the U.S. this output is on 8.5 X 11 inch letter paper, and has some specific texts which should be displayed in certain locations.

For Britain, we'd like to use the same form, but this will print on A4 paper, and have their own specific texts (in specific form locations)

Same difference for China, Greenland, Mexico, etc. Assume each "Country" is a Sales Organization in SAP.

How best to manage the output form configuration and controls?

If I use a condition record for BA00 that includes Sales Organization, is it left up to the SMARTFORM programmer to query the sales org. and determine what and where to output the appropriate texts for each country?

Is there a way to have a different form for each Sales Org, and how would this fom be "selected"?

Anyone got any other ways to more efficiently handle this situation ?

Thanks in advance

my suggestion - to have different smartforms for different countries

so program will analyse country of sold-to-party or ship-to-party...
