T-code for smart form is SMARTFORMS. Various business processes need a standard form by which the
business can be run. Example of this kind of form is invoice, purchase orders, sales order details, delivery
notes etc. We see that there are various formats of invoices between various retail shops. It means each and
every organization uses a unique format of forms. Smart Form is one of the tools of SAP which fulfils this
GOOGLE TRANSLATE
requirement. There is another tool for this and that is SAP Script. SAP script was the only one tool before
release 4.6 and now from that release we have two options for the forms. Select Language ​▼

In the following example we have demonstrated a simple smart form which prints Purchase Order list based
on the creation date at the selection screen. We can write a complete program inside a smart form. But in this
example we have created a driver program for that.

Smart form always generates a function module while activating into the system. Now this system generated
function module is dependent on the system. It means if we transport the form into development to quality Search

system then the name of the function module gets changed. So to avoid naming conflict we can produce the
name at run time and then we can call that by a variable. To achieve this we have function module
SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. It produces the FM for the form into a variable. After that we call that
variable as FM.

We are passing an internal table from the driver program to the form. To do this we need to create a custom
structure in DDIC. The internal table for the program and smart form will hold this DB structure.

Now go to SMARTFORMS and create a simple form step by step. At first we import all the variables, structure
& table into Form Interface.

After that we create the variables, structure or internal tables inside Global Definition.

Now we create the nodes one by one at first page. The first page will contain a header window, main window
& a footer window. The header will be a secondary window which holds the condition of displaying at first
page. The main is the main window which is mandatory for any page. The footer will be the final window which
comes after finishing of every window.

The HEADER Part which holds the Condition - Only first page:

9/26/25, 12:20 AM Simple Smart Form - LearnSapAbap

Now create a template by right clicking on the Header Window.

9/26/25, 12:20 AM Simple Smart Form - LearnSapAbap

Now we create Logo, Header & body text by right clicking on the template.

Here we have to mention the position in Output Structure. (1,1) means 1st row & 1st column. Similarly (2,1)
means 2nd row & 1st column. Similarly we are creating the following.

The MAIN Part:

In the main part we have to create a table to display item wise PO details.

Table contains a structure which needs to be designed at table painter.

Now table always has a loop so we need to loop into work area in the data section.

The header must come each and every page.

9/26/25, 12:20 AM Simple Smart Form - LearnSapAbap

In the main the serial number will not come for different line items of same PO. So we have created code
inside the loop and also we are changing the format of Item numbers.

Based on this condition the text will come.

All of the texts are populated by hard coded text or variable text. Since table contains different variable texts
which are populated by clicking Field List (mark in red) and then drag and drop the particular field.

9/26/25, 12:20 AM Simple Smart Form - LearnSapAbap

Now the Total calculation will be done at footer level of the table. This footer will come only at the end of the
table.

In this way we create a table inside the main window. Now it’s time to create a footer window. Right click on
the page and create a window named Footer Window.

The FOOTER Part:

We have created the footer window as a final window.

It has a condition that it will trigger at the last page after the end of main.

[Link] 10/16
9/26/25, 12:20 AM Simple Smart Form - LearnSapAbap

We create a template here by which the footer information will be displayed.

Now we create another small window which will display only Page number. The window is at the right last
location of any page. So it will be a Secondary window which contains only one text field.

The page number is populated by system fields. Current page = SFSY-PAGE & Total page = SFSY-
FORMPAGES. Just drag and drop to populate the text.

[Link] 11/16
9/26/25, 12:20 AM Simple Smart Form - LearnSapAbap

Now we need to create a second page which holds the copy of Main, Footer & Page number window. If the
line item exceeds the first page then it will come at second page. The main window of second page will start
from the top of the page.

Now execute the report and mention the date range. It will generate the following Smart form.

[Link] 12/16
9/26/25, 12:20 AM Simple Smart Form - LearnSapAbap

The output comes by one page. Now we are going to generate more than one page by expanding the date
range.

9/26/25, 12:20 AM Simple Smart Form - LearnSapAbap

The problem is that the Footer window always captures a fixed height in every page. We shall sort out this by
next article.
