Hi

I am new to Adobe forms and wanted to find out if Adobe forms could be used for master data processing? One of our customer is interested in implementing interactive Adobe forms for their master data processing. So instead of inputting data in SAP screens they would want to do it in a interactive PDF based forms.

My questions is do we use Adobe forms for such requirements? Because it is interactive is it a best practice to maintain master data using Adobe forms?

How to handle the Exceptions, Data validations, Input help processing and error handling?

My understanding of Adobe forms is that it could be used for light interactive and not for substituting it as a data input screen?

Could you guys guide on the best practices followed in the industry with Interactive forms.

Hi,

My answer to your question is yes.

Adobe Interactive forms can be used for master data maintenance in SAP. When you post something to SAP, ultimately the standard BAPI is getting called and it will take care of all the required validations and the corresponding messages can be displayed to user.

Advantages :

Online/Offline capability of adobe interactive forms

Forms can be developed so that it will give the similar look and feel of paper based forms

User-friendliness in filling the form

Note: SAP recommends less complex structure for generating the interactive forms.

Thanks & Regards,
