1 Smartforms

SAP Smart Forms provide a graphical user interface for creating and maintaining form layouts separately from the driver program logic. The form layout contains visual elements like windows, tables, and templates, while the driver program contains data retrieval logic. When executed, a generated function module interacts with both the layout and driver program to output the form, such as a PDF.
