CLM - Contract generation - Token display

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

we are using DOCX Generation to create documents out of clauses. The problem is that each token in text is displayed with breaks before and after.

Example:

This is the <token1> test.

token1 = first

-> This is the

first

test.

Does anybody know whether breaks are not created when using MS .NET instead of DOCX Generation tool?

So does the example looks like this when using .NET?

-> This is the first test.

Thanks in advance and regards,

Oezlem

As an FYI SAP CLM development is working toward a resolution for the extra line breaks for advanced object reference tokens.  Timing of the fix is still TBD.

Hi Oezlem,

It does work like that for MS contractgen tool; but I remember it was OK also for the Java contractgen.

Do you have content control enabled on those variables or some other config?

Hi Bogdan,

sorry missed to mention that it is only for advanced object reference token.

These are our configs:

Hi Oezlem,

I'm not sure I understand your initial test... Because in your screenshot I see you have AdvObjRef, with template and subvariables.

For me it looks normal that the system will add the subvariables in the custom template within a new paragraph in your contract doc...

Hi Bogdan,

unfortunately this does not match our requirements. Let say we have supplier xy assigned to master agreement. In the document we want to list his address, phone number, postal code in a floating text and a few times. In our opinion we should have option to choose whether to have it in breaks or in the normal floating text.

That`s why we wanted to check whether it might work with .net.

One option I think would be to replace the use of Adv Obj Ref with individual Tokens.

It will require a bit more work to maintain all tokens in the word doc, but it will work with your requirement.
