Use

In this section, you make basic settings for print functions for PDF-based forms.

Specify the following:

  • How the system determines the language when creating documents
  • If the outgoing document should be archived
  • If e-mail and fax are used as output media
  • Which sort variants are used for specifying the output sequence during creation of documents

Activities

Language for creating documents

The system determines the document language for each document (even within the same output activity) using the settings you make here. These Customizing settings for language apply for all correspondence activities.

The document language is most relevant for the static texts in a form, such as the titles. In addition, the document language is used for language-dependent texts originating in Customizing, such as, texts for the contract type. Normally it is not possible for texts of master data and transaction data to be entered as language-dependent (for example, names of business entities).

  • Example 1
    You want to output all documents in one specified language, such as English (EN).
    In the Basic Settings, choose Defined Language in the First Step field and enter the language EN.
    Under Supported Languages enter only EN.
  • Example 2
    You want to print all documents in the language of the recipient. The languages involved are English, French and Italian.
    In the Basic Settings, choose Correspondence Language of Recipient in the First Step field.
    Under Supported Languages enter EN, FR, IT.
  • Example 3
    You want to specify several language options.
    You can enter up to three options using the fields for the three steps. If no supported language is assigned to a business partner, for example, you can still print a document by entering a language that is entered as a Defined Language in the 2nd or 3rd step.

    Supported Languages

    You specify here the languages that are available for your correspondence. You can use this setting, for example, to prevent the system from trying to create a document in the language of the recipient when that language is not supported in your system. Forms are not available in languages that are not supported, or no Customizing texts were entered in these languages.
    The sequence of the entries in the table is not significant.

Archiving

You can specify that the documents you create are archived using the SAP ArchiveLink interface. To use this function, you have to install the archive system and configure the ArchiveLink interface. You make these settings in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver in the ArchiveLink IMG activities.

Afterward you enter your setting for archiving here. You can specify at different levels for your correspondence whether or not archiving should be performed.

The system assigns document types to archive documents. There is a single document type for each correspondence application. The name of the document type is always RECP<key of correspondence application>, such as RECPA400 for a General Letter. The document types used are already assigned in standard Customizing to the corresponding BOR object types, for instance RECPA400 is assigned to object type BUS1505 (real estate contract).

Note

Do not change the standard settings! Check in the current client if all settings in the following activities are in accordance with standard Customizing:

Additional Output Media

Depending on the settings of the recipient, you can use e-mail and fax as output media. To be able to use these options, you have to have configured the SAPconnect interface. You make these settings in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver in the SAPconnect IMG activities.

Afterward you enter your settings for output media here. You can specify at different levels whether or not e-mail or fax are supported for your correspondence.

To use these settings in the application, set the appropriate indicator in the Define Correspondence Applications and Assign Correspondondence Activities IMG activity.

Sort Variants

During mass printing you create a large number of documents. If you do not use a sort variant, the system outputs the documents in the following sequence:

  1. Sorted in ascending order by the key fields of the real estate object:
    2. For rental objects, for example: company code/business entity/rental object

For contracts, for example: company code/contract number

  1. Sorted in ascending order by the sequence number of the document in the correspondence activity, if multiple documents are created for the object due to the correspondence activity

If you want a different type of sorting, choose New Entries under Sort Variants and enter the sort variant you want to use. Select the line for the sort variant and choose Sort Fields. Using the input help, select one or more fields that you want to sort by (such as, the contract number).

The system always applies sort variants to the entire document list. Therefore it is not necessary for documents for the same object to follow each other. Possible variants for sort fields include:

  • Postal code/Street/Recipient
  • Processor/Company Code/Contract Number

You can have the system create a new spool request for each sort field. For example, you could have the system create a spool request for each processor when the sort fields Processor/Company Code/Contract Number are used.

Since you define each sort variant for one object type, then the sort variant is available for all correspondence applications of this object type.

For each correspondence application, you can specify a default sort variant and decide if it can be changed in the application. You make these settings in the Define Correpondence Applications and Define Correspondence Activities IMG activity.
