Smart Form technology allows to design print forms. ABAP programs have to "call" them so that spools are generated, ready to be printed.
SMARTFORMS is the transaction to design the smart form layout.
  • It is possible to embed texts, images, tables, barcodes and ABAP codes.
  • Importing parameters have to be defined so that an ABAP program can send the data to be printed.
  • When the smart form is activated, a function module is generated that an ABAP program has to call. You should never assume the name of this function module as it may change in each system after import. See below how to do.
SMARTSTYLES transaction allows to define paragraph and character formats (fonts, barcodes, etc.)
Smart Form technology has replaced SAPscript technology since release 4.6C, and has been superseded by Interactive Forms by Adobe since release 6.40.

    Hi Sandra

    This is a great wiki. I see you have modified something on 26th May. I think  I downloaded an excel spread sheet that gives the details about the SAP Standard snartforms and their details. Did you remove it, if so could you please let me know the reason?

    I tried searching for them in our ECC system, but was not able to find./SMB79/

    Thanks, Raj

    Hi Raj, you can see the changes which are made and explanations, by clicking the View Changes button, and then View History button.

    But I don't remember I've ever seen this excel here. Don't you confuse with the ones provided in SAP notes. /SMB... indicate it's the preconfigured smart forms. Theyare not delivered as standard. You'll get better answers by asking the question in the forum.
