1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 ACTIONS
Actions are used in maintaining and improving business relationships. We can schedule and startpredefined conditions with the Actionscomponent by means of user-definable conditions from transaction
and marketing objects.
Actions use the Post Processing Framework (PPF), a Basis component, which can be automated with the
initiation of outputs, follow-on documents or workflows. Using the Actions tab page within a business
document, you can display a list of actions that can be included in the business transaction.
An action profile is determined from the corresponding transaction type or item category.
Actions are stored as action definitions within an action profile.
You can control action processing using different settings and parameters:
Action changeable or executable in dialog
Action displayed in toolbar (SAP GUI)
Processing time (when saving the document or via selection report)
Partner dependence
Determination technique
Action merging
Processing types (with entry of the desired form name)
1.2 FEATURES OF ACTIONS
You can define actions dependent on conditions so that the system automatically schedules and starts
them when the conditions are fulfilled. With actions you can:
Create follow-up transactions automatically
Execute changes in the transaction or marketing object currently being processed, for
example, create new items, or status inheritance by subordinate elements in marketing
objects
Output in print, by faxing or e-mail
Actions are displayed in transaction documents that support actions and to which an action profile is
assigned. You can display a list of actions scheduled for the document on the Actions tab page of a
transaction document. The following information is displayed in the list for each action:
Status (action scheduled, action processed)
Description (purpose of action)

Conditions (settings for action definition and conditions are displayed)
Creator, Creation date
There are various processing types for actions:
Methods (Business Add-Ins)
Methods are Business Add-In (BADI) implementations. You can define your own BADI
implementation to adapt actions to your processes and needs. (EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF is the
relevant BADI.)
Examples for standard methods include the following:
COPY_DOCUMENT (create a follow-up document)
COMPLETE_DOCUMENT (set status completed within document)
CREDIT_MEMO (create credit memo item)
REPAIR_ITEM (create a repair item)
1O_EVENT_CREATE (create a workflow event)
SAP Business Workflow
This is suitable for more complex processes, for example, a follow-up transaction that includes an
approval process.
Smart Forms
SAP Smart Forms must be used to print, e-mail or fax documents such as an order confirmation. You
can use the graphics tool, SAP Smart Forms, to design the layout of output forms.
SAP delivers several Smart Forms for outputs in SAP CRM:
Form CRM_ORDER_CONFIRMATION_01 (suitable for faxes, letters, and e-mail)
Form CRM_ORDER_LEASING_01 (suitable for faxes, letters, and e-mail)
Form CRM_OPPORTUNITY_01 (suitable for faxes, letters, and e-mail)
SAP Smart Forms offer the advantage of adapting forms without requiring programming knowledge,
thanks to a completely graphical user interface.

When you request a printout of a form, the application program obtains the relevant data to be used
and prints it on the form. Data retrieval and form logic are separated from one another.
SAP Smart Forms replace SAP-Script forms (migration from SAP-Script forms to Smart Forms is
supported).

Difference between EEWB and BDT
BDT, among other things, is used to add/delete/disable fields in the BP transaction only. It does not create new
objects for the developer to play with. BDT as a separate unit in CRM (TCode BUPT) has several useful tools
like BP events which are useful at times.
Whereas EEW can extend several transactions in CRM including BP and it extends the business object by
creating several z-objects like an active BADi implementation, middleware objects like z-function modules
which you can use for coding your custom logic.
But there's a lot in common for BDT and EEW - they both create the field groups, views, sections and screens
when you enhance an object. You can use BDT to change titles such as tab name or section name after you
have created the easy enhancement project for a particular object!
