S/4HANA Cloud EX Adobe Forms using SFP

Hello,

We got an audit for a client who’s running on a S/4HANA Cloud EX. We got negative results about our Adobe Form templates because we are using “unreleased function modules”. I’m a bit puzzled here because in the S/4HANA Cloud EX extension guide I’m finding below statement about print forms, basically saying it’s ok to keep using SFP.

But if we use SFP for sure we have to call the FM 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME', 'FP_JOB_OPEN', 'FP_JOB_CLOSE', 'FP_GET_LAST_ADS_ERRSTR' and none of those are released? I didn’t find any alternative so basically I have no idea on how to fix this audit besides rebuilding the whole lot with form templates?

Hello Timothy,

The overview in this guide is not precise enough. The app "Maintain Form Templates" is only relevant for Adobe forms based on a gateway-interface. These forms are only usable within the S/4HANA output management framework, which itself is not available in all applications.

This means: The classic extensibility is the only way for existing form technologies (like SAPscript, Smart Forms and IFbA) and the default way for all applications. Only when customers explicitly enable S/4HANA output management for an application, the key user extensibility as described becomes available and relevant.

Hence it's not correct that the existing function modules cannot be used anymore. They are still supported and have to be used when S/4HANA output management is not involved.

Markus
