Functional spec clarification

Hello gurus,
I need some tips in analyzing a functional spec. I really need to know what all information I definitely need to have in a functional spec so as to start writing a technical spec.
This is how my func spec looks like:
It has few KPI's listed.
Empty business content section.(nothing mentioned)
Empty Multi provider section.(nothing mentioned)
Report properties.
Data fields (nothing mentioned)
columns and rows of report.
Drill downing characteristics.
Now my question with the above mentioned information can we call it to be a complete functional spec???? and can i start writing a technical spec???
I am confused what all information shud a functional spec have???
does it need to list all the technical names of the infoobjects, infocubes, ods, data sources etc needed for a data model??????
correct me if I am wrong:
functional spec=technical names of IO, ods, IC,etc
Technical spec=detailed information of io, ods, ic??????? is it right????
Eagerly waiting for your inputs.
PLEASE HLEP ME OUT GURUS.
WILL SURELY AWARD POINTS.
Regards

Thank you so much for your reply .
Need some more inputs from you in writing a technical spec.
I have actually collected all the fields in the functional spec, and then I have searched the business content for a extract structure with those fields. But i was not able to find all the fields in a single extract structure, the fields are scattered into two to three extract structures, so how should I work it out???
I have another question too, if I know the Technical name of a character how can i search for that in a extract structure, because in a extract structure i can only field names and the description right??? one way could be double clicking it and knowing the default name ...but is there any other option????may be a dumb question but please do help me out gurus.
thanks

Functional Spec for Invoice

SD, Gurus,
I am new to SD, I am in the process of doing to functional spec to create a physical invoice. The Invoice will be done via Smartform. I am doing some specs for our ABAP person. We are using Sales Order, and Shipping functionality. Can some give me an overview of what I need to look for? I am familiar with most of the billing tables VBRK, VBRP, and sales order VBAK and VBAP.
I just need some guidance as to how should I give the functional spec to the ABAP, do I need to include documetn flow, since we are using picking, and delivery?
Do I get all from the billing document? or I have to go to Sales order also? how do I reference the order?
Thank You for your help,

Hi Frank,
Good day to you.
1 ) The table for address is generally "ADRC".
    Say you need to find the address details for the customer.
   Go to the customer table "KNA1" and from this table get the field "ADRNR".
   Using "ADRNR" check the table "ADRC".
Here are the technical details that you can provide to your ABAPer...
a): you need the table KNA1 with the customer data. With the key of KNA1-KUNNR you get the KNA1-ADRNR.
b): With the contact person number you search in KNVK-PARNR the value KNVK-PERSNR
c): call function module ADDR_PERS_COMP_GET_COMPLETE with
import parameters ADDRNUMBER = KNA1-ADRNR and PERSNUMBER = KNVK-PERSNR.
d): result is in the structure ADDR3_COMPLETE.
now you have all address and communication data from the contact person
e): you can use the function module ADDR_CONVERT_TO_BAPIADDR3_V2
to map the result given in ADDR3_COMPLETE.
2.Now comming to the document flow.
The flow of Sales & Distribution is as follows as you already know:
Inquiry (Optional) --> Quotation (optional) --> Sales Order --> Outbound Delivery (Delivery + Pick (optional) + Pack (optional) + Post Goods Issue) --> Billing --> Excise Invoice (incase of Indian Manufacturing Scenario).
For example use Table VBFA. Here in order to get sales order for corresponding Billing document, in the subsequent document field enter the billing document number.In the preceding document category field enter the type of the sales order eg. OR. You can now get your required sales order no.
the tables would be:
1. VBAK sales order header, VBAP sales order item
2. LIPS outbound delivery header, LIKP outbound delivery item
3. VBRK billing header, VBRP billing items
pls go through this thread it may help you..
Re: Reg: SD Flow (Sales to Delivery)
3)To get to get the whole document flow for
a given sales order ask the ABAPer to use Function module ' RV_FLOW'
Please refer to standard smartform for invoice ..
LB_BIL_INVOICE layout and RLB_INVOICE driver program
Please let me know if you need futher clarification.
Note it is not necessary to use the table vbfa , but if you want all the details in one table ( ie sales order num , delivery num , billing num etc ) at this time we need to use VBFA table.
Regards,
Vvieks

Functional Spec

Hey guys,
I am working on a new project and I have to write functional specs for Incoming payments Interface . This payment will be sent to Bank from customers, bank processes and we receive payment file from bank via the interface to clear customer open items. Example is Lockbox.
Payment methods will be Checks (lockbox), WIRE, ACH and Direct debit. Anybody out there has done this before? Will appreciate you help.

Hello
Preparing functional specs document is primary responsibility of a functional consultant.
- Prepare the process flow
- Gather a list of fields affected in SAP / match with fields in external source.
- Check bank format / check with ABAPer on how he would code in SAP.
- Complete settings in FBZP

Technical Specifiaction for the ABAP HR Functional Spec

HI Please help me to write a technical spec for the below functional spec.
As-Is Business Process
Duplicate Performance, Development and Career Plans are being created. Forms have been created with incorrect validity dates. Some people that should have forms dont and some that should not have forms do. We have no easy way to periodically audit for these situations.
To Be Business Process
Audit report to be run via the SRET report tree to check for duplicate plans, incorrect validity dates, and actives that are missing forms as well as terms that have forms that are not in completed status.   Should be able to save selections as a variant.
Selection Screen
Use selection screen from YAUMI tcode as a base model. We only need the top bar, the selection section,, and a section for invalid data edits, which will be modified as shown below. Additionally, there should be a section to choose templates.
Template section:
      This section can be modeled after the selection screen in program Y_HRHAP_PDPGEN. Each template is selected via drop down, and the plan end year is entered. Drop down to choose template that shows form name. For development and career, the expected end year is 9999, which would be entered in the year for those 2 templates. For the Performance plan, the current year is the end year, and would be entered.
Invalid Data Edits section:
   Checkboxes for:
1)     duplicate plans
2)     invalid validity dates
3)     missing plans for active
4)     terms with non completed plans
Logic
     Include the templates selected above for associates with the chosen selections.
     If duplicate plans checkbox is selected
            If the plan year end on the screen is 9999, see if there is any associate that has more than one of this template in status not equal to Complete. If so, output to audit report.
            If the plan year end on the screen is less than 9999 (i.e. 2007), then see if there is any pernr that has more than one of this template in a status that is not equal to Complete with an validity end date of 12/31/yyyy (where yyyy is the year on the selection screen). If so, output to audit report.
     If invalid validity dates is selected
        If the plan year end on the screen is 9999, see if there is any pernr that has that template in status not equal to Complete with an end date not equal to 12/31/9999. If so, output to audit report.
            If the plan year end on the screen is less than 9999 (i.e. 2007), then see if there is any pernr with that template in status not equal to Complete with an end date = 12/31/9999, or with an end date with a month and day not equal to 12/31. If so, output to audit report.
     If missing plans for active is selected
     See if there are any people in the selected population that do NOT have any of the selected templates in a status not equal to Complete If so, output to audit report.
      If terms with active plans is selected
     See if there are any people in the selected population that DO have any of the selected templates in a status not equal to Complete If so, output to audit report.
Output
      Appraisee Pernr
      Appraisee Name
      Template name
      Validity Dates begin date and end date
      Status / Substatus
      Appraiser Pernr
      Appraiser Name
      Message :
          Duplicate plan
          Invalid Validity End Date
          Missing plan
          Plan not completed.
      For missing plan error, the fields for validity dates, status/substatus, appraiser pernr and appraiser name will be blank.
Thanks

baishali

Hi
In the functional specifications, you need to tell which Tables and Fields should be picked up for displaying the data. Specifically for TDS some of the common tables are WITH_ITEM
Also look at J1IENMIS. Much of teh information you require is there in the new TDS Report for India, though not exactly in the same order

Can anyone give me examples of cases when we need to write a functional spec. A couple of specific examples each in AR, AP & GL will be helpful.
Am I correct in assuming that every item in gap analysis needs a functional specification to resolve it?

You are given functional specs for a BDC program

You are given functional specs for a BDC program
and you need to decide whether to write a method
call transaction or a session. How u will decide?
plz explain clearly

depends of type of erro handling required and amount of data to be transfered, we can decide which is best method.
call transaction - no errorhandling, we have to write a code to show errors
sessin method - errohandling is there, locking mechanism is there.
for large amount of data , we should go for session method. for faster data transfer we can go for call transaction
