Purpose
Liquid UI applications offer mobile printing capabilities, allowing users to directly print SAP documents on their Android devices. This functionality is facilitated by configuring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth printers, thus enhancing the user experience by streamlining the printing process.
You can print SAP documents like purchase orders, legal forms, invoices, shipping notifications, etc. from your Android device. Furthermore, the app provides a Print Preview option to preview a document before printing. It is helpful to check the accuracy of the content in the SAP documents.
