3237987 - Removing the Watermark "Test Copy" from the form while previewing a document

Symptom

You are previewing a document, however in the preview PDF there is a "Test Copy" watermark.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

As an example, we will consider a Customer Invoice document:

  1. Navigate to Customer Invoice Work center.
  2. Enter the Invoice Documents view.
  3. Select a document.
  4. Click on the Preview button.

After the PDF is loaded, you can see in the bottom right corner the watermark "Test Copy".

Cause

All SAP standard forms contain a watermark by default when the document is in preview. This is a legal requirement on the standard forms.

Resolution

The system works as expected.

It is possible to remove the watermark by customization of the form template. However please note that once the form is customized, SAP does not have responsibility in terms of audit/compliance checks on the forms being used.

SAP does not recommend the removal of the watermark, as it will not appear in the official output document once it is posted.
