Feasibility of Assigning Different Smart Forms to the Same Billing Type for Different Sales Areas

[VA19]

We are currently using SAP Public Cloud and have a requirement to assign different smart forms to the same billing type for different sales areas. I would like to know if this is feasible within the SAP Public Cloud environment.

Hello,

Please check the output determination parameter, In case the required parameters are not there then please use custom as explained below.

Hello @VA19 

Thank you for your question.

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, standard configuration does not support assigning different smart forms to the same billing type based on sales area. The Output Parameter Determination (OPD) framework primarily uses parameters such as Billing Type, Sales Organisation, and Customer to determine output forms.

However, you might consider the following approaches:

1. Utilise Available OPD Parameters: Leverage existing parameters like Sales Organisation within OPD to differentiate from assignments where possible.
2. Custom Logic Implementation: If further differentiation is needed, explore the possibility of implementing custom logic using Business Add-Ins (BAdIs), such as SD_BIL_OUTPUT_PARAM_MODIFY, to select forms based on sales area dynamically.
3. Form Template Enhancements: Incorporate conditional logic within Adobe Form templates to adjust content or layout based on sales area information.

For detailed guidance on configuring Output Parameter Determination, please refer to the SAP Help Portal:
