ImIntroduction Transaction VOFM is a tool that was developed in R/3 to facilitate the definition of both SAP delivered as
well as customer defined routines / rules used in the system during various business processes. VOFM routines are ABAP
code written in Forms. VOFM provides the user with the benefit of choosing from one of the standard delivered R/3
routines or writing their own. VOFM is intended for the implementation team when configuring the system. It is not
intended for the end user. VOFM is divided up into four main areas. These include copying requirements, data transfer,
requirements, and formulas. This paper will focus on data transfer routines that were delivered by SAP to support the
Sales & Distribution (SD) and Logistics Execution (LES) applications. At a high level, data transfer routines allow you to
fine-tune the copied fields during the transfer process. For example, a data transfer routine can be defined to enable the
transfer of the general billing header data from a reference document into the target. Additionally, during the data
transfer, the shipping conditions for the target document can be derived based on the standard customizing entries,
rather than from the reference document. Data transfer ro
