Concept of Raw Data Interface

Diagram illustrating the concept of raw data interfaces for printing processes, emphasizing data flow between applications, SAPscript forms, external systems, and output mechanisms.

An interface is available for printing mass data or for additional optimal processes, such as postage determination, sorting for delivery, and use of barcodes for mail processing. Output can be transferred to the raw data interface instead of to the SAP spool file.

SAPscript can be used in two ways to generate forms:

  • Online using a spool file
    • for generating immediate bills.
  • Raw data interface
    • for transferring information to an external system SAP recommends this solution for mass printing.
