1 How Can This Script Be Used?

This demo script has been written for usage with the SAP S/4HANA 1909 Feature Package Stack 00 (FPS00) Fully-Activated
Appliance (in short “appliance” in this script), hence you will need such an appliance to make use of this guide.
The appliance can be brought up in two ways, and the demo scenario in this script is largely the same for both:

1. Via SAP Cloud Appliance Library (hosted on cloud providers)


You need a cloud provider account at AWS, MS Azure, or GCP. With this, you can deploy the appliance within 1-2 hours from
https://cal.sap.com > Solutions > SAP S/4HANA 1909 FPS00 Fully-Activated Appliance.
2. Via installing it on your own on-premise hardware.
You need to provide your own hardware, and order & install the appliance as explained in SAP Note 2041140.

If you are new to the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance, introductory information can be found here:
https://blogs.sap.com/2018/12/12/sap-s4hana-fully-activated-appliance-create-your-sap-s4hana-1809-system-in-a-fraction-of-
the-usual-setup-time/

Important:
Before you start your demo, please read SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance: Demo Scripts for information about necessary
preparations, especially any post-deployment steps to ensure the full functionality of your appliance. These steps are covered in
sections;
B) General Remarks
C) Post-deployment Steps
D) Log-on to the system
Besides this, you will also find links to all demo scripts on this page.

2 Business Content & Demo Scenarios

2.1 Demo Story: Print Form customization


Background information:
SAP S/4HANA introduces a new style of output management. Output control serves as an interface between the business
applications and the SAP NetWeaver technologies.
SAP ships new default form templates for each business application implemented as PDF-based print forms with fragments. A
fragment is part of a master form template.
A master form template is a separate form template (XDP file). It includes different layout definitions (fragments) for one or more
master pages. Only one of them at a time can be referenced by the application form.
Every SAP default master form template contains the following fragments:
• Landscape_Factsheet
• Landscape_ItemList
• Portrait_Factsheet
• Portrait_ItemList
• Portrait_OutboundLetter
Each fragment is designed for a specific page orientation (landscape or portrait) and layout variant (fact sheet, item list or
outbound letter).
The names of the fragments are constants. They should not be changed by customers. However, you can create your own master
form template using these constants. The layout of the single fragments can then be freely defined.
Any fragment, which is not named like the ones listed above, will be ignored by the system. This means that currently no additional
fragments can be added by customers. You simply keep the existing fragments and adapt their layout.
Each fragment (layout definition) includes:
A master page for the first page (mst1) which defines the following:
• Paper size and orientation
• Content area
• Layout and positioning of the
o Form title
o Logo
o Page number
o Sender address (where applicable)
o Receiver address (where applicable)
o Footer blocks
A master page for subsequent pages (mst2) which defines the following:
• Paper size and orientation
• Content area
• Layout and positioning of the
o Form title
o Logo
o Page number
o Footer blocks

The content of a master form template is part of the configuration of the new output control. The master form template itself only
includes placeholders for the content. At runtime, the corresponding gateway service will read the data from the configuration.

SAP ships the following master form templates which all include different layout definitions (fragments) for portrait and landscape
orientations:
• SOMU_FORM_MASTER_A4 Master Form Template for paper size 'A4'
• SOMU_FORM_MASTER_LETTER Master Form Template for paper size 'Letter'.
