Dear Micky

Often there are instances where an output from a SAP program is required on a physical paper in a pre-designed format. Using normal ABAP code this is not possible. Instead SAP provides an object called SAPSCRIPT to generate such kind of documents which can contain logos, tables and other objects and which can look like pre-printed documents.

This article focuses on the design and use of Layout sets in ABAP programs to generate beautified output in SAP.

A layout set is a template designed in SAP to place the stream of data coming from a SAP program on different parts of a physical page. The designer needs to lay out the various elements that need to be printed on the page and store it as an object in the SAP system. An ABAP program will subsequently call this object to generate an instance of the template – thus generating an output document from the program.

In this 7 article tutorial we will cover subjects such as:

=> Main elements of SAPscript

=> Commands that can be used in a layout set

=> How to include a graphical image

=> Commands that can be used in SAPscript

=> Step-by-step walkthrough of example

=> Example layout set

=> Example SAPscript code

thanks

hi MICKY REDDY,

if you want to send some invoice or sales order to a customer,

then u should have output in a format

i.e ( your company code should be bold with maximum font

and your company adddress should in other format...).

so in normal reporting ABAPers can'nt achieve this functionality .so they go for SAP Script when they can adjust

the fonts and functionality according to requirement.

Hope this solves your problem.

Pls reward points if found helpful.

Thanks and regards,

Rajeshwar.

SAPScripts are used to design the Output layouts, which in SD you can assign to your output types in Sales Order / Delivery / Billing.
