Doubt regarding templates/tables in Smart Forms

Hi all ,

I'am into Technical (ABAP) as well as functional module - Plant & Maintenance(PM). Now, in our company, Plant level isn't digitalised, so the company has planned to implement SAP ,by entering plant data/reading intp SAP using PM module. Our consultant wants us to develop reports and printouts of those readings (of PM) to be generated in ABAP. For that, he has advised us to use "Templates" in smartforms (rather than "Tables"). Now suggest me a method so that I get to use Tables instead of Templates. If i use Templates, it has a tedious method of using loop and flow logic to fetch the data from the PM module, where as the "tables" method has a simple method of using the table name and field name which needs to be written in the Program.

Can i create a table of those readings which i made in the PM Module so that i use the same instead of using templates? If so, then how do i proceed ?

Points will be rewarded for best answers 😊
