The smart form allows to create, design, and maintain forms for bulk printing in SAP Systems. SAP smart forms will support printers, e-mail, fax, or the Internet as an output medium. We can embed images, texts, barcodes, tables, and ABAP codes with smart forms. On smart form activation, a function MODULE will be generated that an ABAP program NEEDS to call. SMART STYLES transaction is HELPFUL in defining the paragraph and CHARACTER formats(barcodes, fonts, etc).

Advantages of smart forms are:

• It helps to adapt the forms with the help of a graphical user interface and there is no need for programming knowledge.
• During smart form activation, the system will automatically generate the function module.
• For making any changes we need to use the Cut & Paste, Drag & Drop. These actions do not include the writing of coding lines or using a scripting language.
• It is possible to insert the static and dynamic tables using smart forms.
• It permits the user to include graphics, that will be SHOWN as a part of the form or as background graphics. It is possible to suppress the background graphics by the user as and when it is necessary.
