Hi,

VOFM is a transaction where form routines are created.

like user-exits, form routines are used to do extra functionality. we have different routines like condition routines, data routines etc..

once we define the routines we will assign them to standard flow in VTAA transaction(we have header, data categories here we will assign our routine based on our requirement).

for a real-time scenario say when you are creating a sales order from a contract, and you need to check the contract..say for a contract with order type 'ZTYP' you should not allow creating the sales order then you can do this check with the help of routine..

or when creating a sales order you need to validate few fields say a quantity field less than 10 should not be allowed, or if you need to default some values in the fields you can use these routines.

VOFM pricing routines, requirement routines are used in SD and MM.

data transfer routines are specific to SD.

This is a mechanism provided by SAP to allow

1.copy of data between successive documents

2. Modify pricing

3. Output control

4. Specify formulas for condition base values

etc etc

as an ABAP cnsultant .. you will have to create these routines & the FC will assign these in the customising

typically you will write some code to pass / modify values of standard structures that are available

Real time scenarios ,

1. Recalculation of MRP

2. Substituting materials

3. Delivery split based on Material Chapter ID's

4. collating invoices based on Customer

5. Changing the condition base value between 2 successive condition types in a pricing procedure

Etc
