Overview
Correspondence, contracts, invoices, and myriad of legal documents created through
everyday business processes impact the value and quality of a companys image with
customers, partners, and the wider business community.
Although forms can be easily processed by R/3 applications, their creation is challenging as a
result of the dynamics and complexity of the underlying business processes. Specific
knowledge of the programming tool SAPscript is indispensable to developing forms in R/3.
This guide helps reduce consulting time required to develop or modify SAPscript forms.

Assumptions
For this guide to be useful, the following assumptions are made:
This guide is for the U.S., Canadian, and Australian markets.
Companies normally use only a few forms to create most of the printed output for the
external communication.
The following predeveloped forms produce more than 80 percent of the typical output:
Sales Order Confirmation
Packing List
Picking List
Invoice
Account statement
Prenumbered or unnumbered checks
In the U.S. and Australia, other than producing checks, companies do not use preprinted
forms.
The only preprinted item on an output page may be the company logo.
A consultant and the implementation project team members know the application
sufficiently enough to view every document screen.
If your R/3 System uses the Change and Transport System (CTS), then you know how to
handle CTS screens.
Since this is a Basis issue, it will not covered in this guide. Please consult your system
administrator for this issue.
The implementation team uses the newest version of the predeveloped forms that can be
downloaded at http://www.saplabs.com/forms.
To import the predeveloped forms into your R/3 System you need to use the CTS. Please
consult your system administrator for this issue.
You know how to use the Online Support Service (OSS) to get an access key to modify R/3
objects.
Please consult your system administrator for this issue.

Menu Paths
The word choose always appears
with menu paths. In some cases, a
menu path might lead you through
several screens. Either use your
mouse to select the menu item from
the top of your window or use shortcut
keys. In most cases, the direct
transaction is also provided.
Select
The words select and deselect always appear in instructions for checkboxes and radio
buttons. For example:
1. Deselect Generate folders for
project documentation.
Typeface Styles
The steps that require user input (text to be entered into a field or after a command
prompt) are indicated with bold, courier font such as:
Enter 14287 in Personnel number.
Notice that Personnel number appears in Object style, which is italicized text that indicates
the word is an on-screen object, such as a:
Button
Field
Screen title

With the above examples, in the first step, whenever you see text in courier bolduser
input styleyou know that information needs to be entered. Also in the first step, the words
User Maintenance and User are italicized because they refer to a screen title and an onscreen field.
The second step indicates that an action is required. Change password is italicized because it
is an on-screen button.
Special Icons
Throughout this guide you will see special icons indicating important messages. Below are
brief explanations of each icon:
Exercise caution when performing this task or step. An explanation of why you
should be careful will be included.
This information helps you understand the topic in greater detail. It is not
necessary to know this information to perform the task.
These messages provide helpful hints and shortcuts to make your work faster and
easier.
