With your own ABAP development, your developers have replaced texts (e.g. the material number) with variable content. This &#8220;text&#8221; embedded in the SAPscript was sent to the desired label printer via a corresponding device type (SAP printer driver).

At least that&#8217;s what many people thought. Smart Forms was introduced in April 2001 as the official successor to SAPscript. Since the end of 2005, SAP has discontinued further development. Unfortunately, not much has changed technically for label printing. On the other hand, a more powerful graphical editor is available for ABAP developers.     <\/p>\n<p><strong>Improvements in Smart Forms compared to SAPscript:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs style_default switch_click accordion type_togglable has_scrolling\" style=\"--sections-title-size:inherit\"><div class=\"w-tabs-sections titles-align_none icon_triangle cpos_left\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"ha2e\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-ha2e\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h4 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Improved internationalization<\/h4><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-ha2e\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Compared to SAPScript, Smart Forms has now made it possible to implement internationalization (multilingualism) of the forms. This should reduce the maintenance effort. This was certainly the case with documents, but not with label printing. The problem with the labels was of a technical nature; the resolution of the printer sometimes led to forms being created twice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"ybab\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-ybab\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h4 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">More device types for better printer support<\/h4><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-ybab\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Over time, many printer manufacturers have provided their own device types for Smart Forms. As part of the &#8220;SAP Printer Vendor Program&#8221;, some have now joined Zebra (the de facto standard for SAP), but some have also dropped out again. For many, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opal-labelmanagement.com\/en\/labels\/label-printing-technology\/\">Zebra printers<\/a> were the easiest choice because the device types supplied by SAP were easy to work with.   Today, on the other hand, some current models are no longer part of the delivery, and you need to install them subsequently.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"nd04\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-nd04\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h4 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">A layout designer for labels<\/h4><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-nd04\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>It is possible to implement the separation of data procurement and layout with Smart Forms. Unfortunately, it has also been shown here that the devil is in the detail.

In most cases, they then reverted to embedding text objects as in SAPscript.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_custom\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Smart Forms enhanced with label layout software<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>If you know ZPL, are a developer and have a good connection to SAP Basis, then you have the best prerequisites for efficiently and successfully implementing label printing with Smart Forms. If, on the other hand, the requirements for more flexible printing increased, for example due to different customer requirements, many people helped themselves with professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opal-labelmanagement.com\/en\/labels\/create-design-labels-for-sap\/\">label layout software<\/a>.  The integration was simple and could complement the SAP form technology. We present two approaches for the use of label layout software below:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h4>Uploading ITF Layouts<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>You have created a label layout in an external designer and added placeholders. The printer code for a specific printer model was then exported to a text file. These files were created in ITF (Interchange Text Format) so that they could be uploaded as standard texts in SAP. The printer code generated in this way has now been embedded in Smart Forms. However, this did not solve the disadvantages and problems from the SAPscript era.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h4>Dynamic printing with external layouts<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The following is a somewhat more flexible integration that is still often used today: Instead of a form, you have generated an export of the pure content in the form of a text file (usually this was a CSV file). A professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opal-labelmanagement.com\/en\/labels\/create-design-labels-for-sap\/\">label layout software<\/a> took this and filled the content into a previously created label layout.  The advantages are striking and still unbeaten today: you can print on any label printer without having to adapt the layout. You can also use all the features of the printer without having to laboriously search for the corresponding commands.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_5908dbba has_text_color hide_on_mobiles\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Summary of Smart Forms<\/h3>\n<p>From today&#8217;s perspective, we can say in retrospect that those who opted for the approach with external layouts are probably still using it today.

This additional programming and the lack of a print preview option in SAP impair the transparency of the printing process.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyone who has opted for the approach of uploading ITF layouts will want to replace this at the next opportunity.
