• Key Concepts: 
  Form Type is a component of the Output Management for S/4HANA (CA-GTF-OC) module. It is used to define the layout of documents, such as invoices, delivery notes, and purchase orders. It also defines the data that will be included in the document, such as customer information, product details, and payment terms.
  
  How to use it: 
  Form Types are created in the SAP system using the Form Builder tool. This tool allows users to design the layout of documents and specify which data fields should be included. Once a Form Type has been created, it can be used to generate documents in various formats, such as PDF or HTML.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Form Type, it is important to consider how the document will be used. For example, if the document will be printed on paper, then it should be designed with a larger font size and more white space than if it will be viewed on a computer screen. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant data fields are included in the Form Type.
