The primary goal in the development of our SAP form template was the reduction of complexity in form printing. A key component is the strict separation of layout and data storage. The form is only the carrier of the layout with all formatting options, nothing is hard-coded. The form content comes exclusively from the application object, customizing tables, standard texts or the graphics database. Individual programming is reduced to a minimum. The use of classes in conjunction with ABAP Objects in the print program increases the overview in data retrieval.

In SAP standard, a separate form is created for each language. This increases the complexity in the form development and leads to many errors in the productive environment. However, a solidforms form is only available once in the original language. All texts and fixed names are stored in a table in the desired languages ​​and can be maintained in a convenient transaction. Certain country-specific formatting options are entered for each company code, e.g. whether the address is printed on the left or right side. So the number of your forms always stays in a manageable number.

The form templates can be used immediately or with minor adjustments in many countries and industries. The use of the font Arial results in a clear look without frills, whether the form is now printed, faxed or e-mailed. In the form design, we have taken account of the specific characteristics of the languages, in addition to the requirements of the individual industries. An average word in Polish is approximately 30% longer than in German language. We have taken account of this by reserving spaces in the column width and the form variables.
