To create a form, you use the Form Builder tool that is integrated with ABAP Workbench.

1.  You create a form object in transaction SFP or in repository browser
2.  In the interface, you define where the data comes from that you want to display in the form. To do this, you call the interface function in Form Builder.
3.   You activate the interface.
4.   In the context in Form Builder, you drag and drop the required parameters from the interface you have defined. You can also insert texts, graphics, and addresses.
5.   In the layout function in Form Builder, you create the layout. You use this graphical tool to design the printed appearance of the form, and drag and drop data from the form context you have defined.
6.   You activate the form.
