How to determine and change forms used by report RFFOD__U

[tobiasharmes]

Hi.

I'm currently working on a project to upgrade from SAPScript to Interactive Forms. Our customer is using the report RFFOD__U (Payment Medium Germany DME || Zahlungsträger Deutschland DTA) as part of financial accounting. This report should use interactive forms in the future, so our plan is to determine the used forms and customize forms and printing program.

Question is: How do I determine and change the forms used by RFFOD__U?

For example there is a check box "Print payment advice notes" (German:"Avise ausgeben"). I assume due to the name it could be the form F110_D_AVIS, but where is this defined? How can I get from the report to the configured form names? Could it be, that the forms are hard-coded in the report?

Further check boxes under "Print control":

Print payment medium (GER: Zahlungsträger drucken)

Data Medium Exchange (GER: Datenträgeraustausch)

Print payment advice notes (GER: Avise ausgeben)

Print Payment Summary (GER: Begleitliste drucken)

There seems to be no option to configure the forms and printing programs. I also searched for hints in customizing (SPRO), but I was unable to find point where I could customize formular and printing program for RFFOD__U.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Tobias

Hi Tobias,

In my experience, forms are usually retrieved by the control program from configuration tables. So, one approach you could try:

- Search the program for "OPEN_FORM" (Sapscript). You'll see the explicit parameter "FORM" and what value is passed. In one of the many includes related to your program, I found "T042E-ZFORN", you your answer might be T042E Table. You have to track back that value passed to the function. Same approach you could take for looking Smartforms and Adobe Forms.

- Another one that proves to be best for me is ask to the Functional Consultant, as I believe is functional task to look for "standard forms". Of course we can provide some help...

For instance, you know that program deals with payments... that takes me to transaction F110 -> Environment -> Maintain Config. -> Pmnt methods in company code -> <Select the one of interests for you> -> Form Data. In here you can define PDF and Sapscripts. Check the help on those fields.

By the way, take a look to PDF form: F110_AVIS_INT.

Cheers,

Andres.

Thanks. That helped a lot

Here is what I found out:

Option RFFOD__U Formular

Print payment medium

(GER: Zahlungsträger drucken) F110_D_DTA

Data Medium Exchange

(GER: Datenträgeraustausch) F110_D_UEBERWEIS

Print payment advice notes

(GER: Avise ausgeben) F110_D_UEBERWEIS

I also learned that for certain RFFO* programs and forms there will be no PDF replacement. Instead the use of the Payment Medium Workbench (PMW) is recommended.
