This IMG activity enables you to set up the form background.
The form background includes everything that distinguishes a pre-printed form from an empty piece of paper. This generally includes text elements located at fixed positions (for example, the heading of the payroll account, the name of the company) and graphic elements (for example, lines). For reasons of simplification, they are referred to as "information" from now on.
Information displayed as form background is characterized as follows:
- The information is printed on every payroll account at the same position.
- The information is printed in exactly the same way on every payroll account.
The form background is aimed at replacing a pre-printed form when work is performed on blank paper or on the screen.
General remarks for setting up the form background
Please consider the following when setting up the form background:
- The form background is line-oriented. This means that the data entered specify what is printed on which line, and where on that line the printout should start from.
- When setting up the form background, defining the lines on which form background information is printed does not suffice. All lines that remain empty in the form background must also be defined. This means for example, that lines on which information is printed at fixed positions and/or in windows must be defined as blank in the form background.
- If the line contents are identical on several consecutive lines (for example, several consecutive blank lines), you need only define the last line in each case.
Example
You want to set up the following form background for form "ZK01":
Line 1-3: <blank line>
Line 4 (from column 1): Payroll account
Line 5 (from column 1): =============================================
Line 6-65: <blank line>
The following entries are required:
Line number ....+....1....+....2....+.....3....+....4.......5..
03
04 Payroll account
05 =====================================================
65
The example illustrates how you need only define the last line if several consecutive lines are identical. In the example, lines 1 to 3 are defined by the first entry and lines 6 to 65 by the last entry as blank lines. The entries for lines 4 and 5 indicate the column as of which information should be printed.
Form background for pre-printed forms
If you use a pre-printed form to create payroll accounts, the form background is predefined. Nevertheless, a form background setting is required. Therefore, you must define an empty page containing the number of lines required for the payroll account. To do this, you must define the last line of the form as a blank line.
Example
A pre-printed form is used to create payroll accounts that are 65 lines long. In this example, the following entry is required for form "ZK01":
Line number ....+....1....+....2....+.....3....+....4....+....5..
65
This entry defines the empty page, which is obligatory in this example, as 65 lines long.
Working without/with limited form background
Some or even all information which is usually displayed as form background can also be displayed at fixed positions. This is particularly useful if subsequent changes are to be made in the form layout, since it is often easier to change fixed layout items than to change information in the form background.
If you decide to work primarily without a form background, please consider that this could lead to longer runtimes when the payroll account is created later.
If you do not want a form background, as when using pre-printed forms, you must define an empty page as the form background containing the number of lines required for the payroll account.
Form background for payroll accounts in different languages
If payroll accounts are created in different languages, such as for multilingual countries like Switzerland and Belgium, each entry that is required for the form background must be made for all languages in which the statement is printed. The appropriate language indicator must be assigned to the individual entries.
Example
You want to print payroll accounts in German and English. The background for form "ZK01" on which the printout is based must be defined as follows:
Line 1-3: <blank line>
Line 4 (from column 1): Payroll account
Line 5 (from column 1): =============================================
Line 6-65: <blank line>
In this case, you must proceed as follows:
- Select the function Execute in the structure.
- In the window Determine work area: Entry displayed by the system, enter a D for German in the field Language indicator, then the corresponding country grouping, and finally the form name. Then select the function Continue.
- Now enter the following in the form background using the function New entries:
Line number ....+....1....+....2....+.....3....+....4....+....5..
03
04 Payroll account
05 =====================================================
65
- You can exit the form background by pressing the function key Back twice.
- Select the function Execute in the structure again.
- In the window Determine work area: Entry displayed by the system, enter anE for English in the field Language indicator, then the corresponding country grouping, and finally the form name.
- Select the function Continue.
- Then enter the following in the form background:
Line number ....+....1....+....2....+.....3....+....4....+....5..
03
04 Payroll Account
05 =====================================================
65
The example shows that all entries in the form background must have a language indicator both for German and English. Therefore, the language of the text elements in the entries must match the corresponding language indicator.
