SAP Scripts and SmartForms are both used for creating and maintaining forms within the SAP solutions. They both are different from each other in many contexts. However, SmartForms can be considered as a SAP Script successor tool. SmartForms provide better options than in comparison to Scripts.

SAP Scripts have been devised to customize the documents to meet the specific needs of the user. Many documents are used by companies. These may include invoices, etc. The main issue of these documents is that they need to be generated in a large number. SAP provides all these documents like pay slips, checks, etc. However, for the customization and for even setting the new ones, these scripts are used. 

SmartForms are quite different from SAP scripts. They are not client dependent like SAP scripts. SAP systems make use of SmartForms to create and maintain forms for bulk printing. For the output system, it supports a printer, fax, e-mail, etc. It was introduced in 1998 as an alternative to SAP Scripts.

SAP SCRIPT :

• Client dependent.
• Cannot upload or download file.
• It should have at least one main form then only it can be executed.
• There is a color limitation in Sap Script.
• We can migrate script to smart forms.
• we cannot create web forms.   
• Transaction code is SE71.

SMARTFORMS :

• Client independent.
• This can be executed without a main window.
• Here we can create web forms.
• We cannot migrate Smartforms into scripts.
• Uploading and downloading is possiblr here.
• Transaction code is SMARTFORMS.

Smart Forms are client independent and SAP Scripts are client dependent. • Multiple page formats are possible in Smart Forms which is not the case in SAP Scripts. • It is possible to have a Smart Form without a main window where as you create a SAP Script without a main window. • Smart Forms generates a function module when activated, which is not the case with SAP Scripts. • SAP Scripts require a driver program to display the output whereas in Smart Forms the form routines can be written so that it is standalone. • An integrated Form Builder helps to design Smart Forms more easily than SAP Scripts. • A Table Painter and Smart Styles to assist in building up the Smart Forms which is not available in SAP Scripts. • Smart Forms generates XML output which can be viewed through the web
