Use

You use the Form Builder for Smart Forms to define the layout for your forms.

Keep in mind that SAP recommends using PDF-based forms, and that you should therefore use Smart Forms only for existing correspondence.

Requirements

Standard settings

SAP provides a large number of sample forms for Flexible Real Estate Management. The names of these sample forms all begin with RE_.

Never change a sample form directly. When you set up your correspondence, first manually copy the sample form and modify the copy so that it suits your needs.

For correspondence that you send to your business partners, you should also work with a copy of the sample form, if no changes to the sample form are required. By following this practice, you ensure that any changes SAP makes to the sample form in a new release do not affect your correspondence.

However, in the case of master data summaries, you should use the sample forms directly, as long as you do not require any changes in the form. By doing so, you ensure that after a release change, you are always using the most up-to-date form, which includes any new data that might have been added to the real estate object.

Activities

You can access processing of Smart Forms text modules from the initial screen of the Form Builder for Smart Forms (cross-client). These text modules can also be used in PDF-based forms. These text modules are put to use, for example, for Company-Code-Dependent Text Modules in Flexible Real Estate Management.
