hi Sap gurus,

I would like to have a suggestion from u all.

I need to develop a invoice on smartforms. I am wondering whether driver program rlb_invoice and form lb_bil_invoice is pretty efficient.

Nor developing our own ZPrograms. Bcos the forms only require couple of modifications. Can u suggest me which one to go? and whats the usual procedure ? whether driver programs or Z programs?

Thanxs in Advance

Hari,

I don't think driver program is needed for this.

Create an Application form then attach that smartform to this application form. Assign that smartform to Contract account.

Prakash.

Hi,

The difference is pretty straight, as you mention the form just need some modifications means you have to create a Z-form.

Also if all ur requirements are satisfied thru the standard driver program go with that but the problem is you cannot control the flow....it will go as per predefined routines and any changes will lead to a Z-program.

Amit

Hi Hari,

Many cases we won't touch the Driver programs, if the basic logic need to be changed then we touch the Driver program, so in your case, just copy the layout to Zlayout and do the modifications, if you want to write any code in that then you can use the External performs ....

mark all the helpful answers
