Transaction SE78 - Image Management
The management of a significant portion of image files within the SAP system is carried out through the standard transaction SE78.
Form Graphics
This transaction is utilized in the so-called form graphics, which are SAP objects used to create documents requiring printing, screen display, or email viewing. Examples of forms include invoices, delivery notes, purchase orders, and purchase requisitions.
Allowed image formats for management through transaction SE78 are exclusively TIF and BMP.
To view existing image files in the SAP system, navigate to the folder "FORM GRAPHICS" -> "Store on Document Server" -> "GRAPHICS General".
For each image, the following information is available:
- Author, creation date, time, and description.
- Resolution, size, resident in printer memory, automatically reserve height, and compression.
Actions we can perform with each image:
- Modify properties: Click the Properties button to modify image properties.
- Upload image to the system: To upload a new TIF or BMP image to the SAP system, click the Import icon.
- Transport to another environment: If transporting the uploaded image to another SAP environment is desired, click the truck icon on the toolbar.
Through the standard transaction SE78, only image files with .tif or .bmp extension can be uploaded to the SAP system. For uploading images with different extensions, the standard transaction OAER should be used.
Transaction OAER - Image Management
Using the standard transaction OAER, we can manage various application objects, including SAP image files. Specifically, we use this transaction to work with images in ALV reports.
Allowed image formats for management through transaction OAER are TIF, BMP, GIF, and JPG.
To work with images, fill in the input fields Class Name with "PICTURES" and Class Type with "OT" then execute the transaction.
OAER transaction can also be used to upload other file types to the SAP system, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files.
Using an image in a report header (should be part of top_of_page):
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE'
EXPORTING
it_list_commentary = it_header
i_logo = 'ENJOYSAP_LOGO'.
