5. What makes a smartform client independent but not a SAP script?

6. What is update bundoling?

7. What is LUW?

8. Differences between session and cal transaction method.

9. Why cant we do recording in me21n? We do it only using me21..Is it coz of some activex controls in Me21n...pls explain

10. Difference between BAPIs and BDC.

Hi,

2.Uploading logo is possible thro' SE78.

3.DOmain:value range you can specify.

Data element :semantic definition of field.

8. Call transaction are used to handle small volume of data whereas session method for large volume of data.Moreover in call transaction,you need to hanle error explicitly.In session,error log is created.

Check these.You will get more answers...

1. How do we upload a logo onto a smartform?

right click on form painter and include the graphic directly.

if logo is not existing in server use SE78 and upload the either .bmp or .tiff file and transport the logo into docuement server.

2.What makes a smartform client independent but not a SAP script?

when u activate a smartform function module is created and as func tion module is independent u can say smartform is independent and as sap script is not possible in this way it it not independent.

3.Why cant we do recording in me21n? We do it only using me21..Is it coz of some activex controls in Me21n...pls explain

we can also do in ME21n.

4.Difference between BAPIs and BDC.

BAPi is a function module and BDC is a report based recording program.

5.What is synchronous update in call transaction?

synchronous update is nothing but upodating a bunch of recordds one after other asynchronous means updating the database without any order.

6.Differences between session and cal transaction method.

In session method a session is created and u have to explicitly run the session inorder to execute ur program and call transaction is a screen mode method which will be executed directly.

generally , session method is used for backgrnd and large amount of data update as it is asynchrounous.

we use cal transaction method for foregrnd and small amount of data update in synchrounous.

Hi,

thanks for the answers but if we need to develop a program for creating a PO using recording, ME21n will not work properly.....

Then I did it with ME21 and it worked....I need the reason for this...

Hi,

N-joy transactions contains all the information in the information is contained in a single screen with multiple tab pages in it . where as in previous versions each and every information is contained in a different screen.

so when we do BDC its is difficult to handle tabstrips using BDC so we generally follow the old one.

Hi sushma,

u can create a PO from ME21n also.

first select a vendor with proper purchasing group and identify the doc date on right top corner to right and selct material instead of item also material should be available for purchasing and define proper pricing condition like ATS value and amount also.

hope with this u can create it i think.
