  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR0350 - Form &1 is not a SAPScript form but a PDF form ?

    The SAP error message FTR0350 indicates that the system is trying to process a form that is not in the expected SAPscript format but is instead a PDF form. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or document generation where a specific form type is required.

    Cause:

    1. Form Type Mismatch: The system is configured to use a SAPscript form, but the specified form is actually a PDF form.
    2. Incorrect Form Assignment: The form being called in the transaction or program is not correctly assigned or is not the intended form type.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings where the system is not correctly set up to handle PDF forms.

    Solution:

    1. Check Form Type: Verify that the form you are trying to use is indeed a SAPscript form. If it is a PDF form, you may need to change the configuration to use the correct form type.
    2. Change Form Assignment: If the form is supposed to be a SAPscript form, ensure that the correct form name is assigned in the relevant configuration settings or transaction.
    3. Use the Correct Output Type: If you need to generate a PDF, ensure that the output type is set to handle PDF forms instead of SAPscript.
    4. Review Configuration: Check the configuration in transaction SPAD (Spool Administration) to ensure that the output device and form settings are correctly configured.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on handling forms and output types in your version of SAP.

    Related Information:

    • SAPscript vs. PDF Forms: SAPscript is a legacy form technology used in SAP for print layout, while PDF forms are often used for more modern document generation and may require different handling.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SMARTFORMS (for Smart Forms), SE71 (for SAPscript), and SPAD (for spool administration).
    • SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional troubleshooting steps or patches that may resolve the issue.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for further investigation.
