Functional specification examples related to enhancement in sap sd

Hi All,
Can you please provide me the functional spec related to any scenario in SAP SD.
Thanks

Dear Friend...
As a functional consultant , we may often come across certain situations from clients to modify / create or design a new requirement or a report or a new funcitionality with your existing System in place...
Say for eg : you may have a requirement from your client to include a new report in your system which enable the user to see the sales detail of a particular customer who avail certain discounts in a particular period of time.. then you may have to create a report with inputs like
1) Customer
2) Discount Conditon type
3) Date
where as the output will be having all the desired details like the
1) Sales orders for that customer
2) Its value
3) The customer address etc etc
(This example is just to give you a scenario)
Hence .. YOu have to develop a report which is not already available in Standard SAP. You have to contact your abaper to explain this requirement and to design this report,who will be desinging the report.
So FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION is a document which contains all the requirement details, input details, the table and their field names, Output details ,the table and their field names, the constraints which needs to be checked while executing the report, input constraints, output constraints, Error handling methods and also the process flow...
The Functional consultants will prepare the funciton requirement specification (Also called as FRS) and submit to the ABAPer .ABAPer will design the report / requirement or new funcitionality on the basis of the document.
Hope this is fruitful...
Also go through this links...

BI ETL Integration Functional Specifications

Hi All,
I am into implementation project, Currently Design Phase is in progress.
Need suggestions to understand about the BI ETL Integration Functional Specification
can any one through some light on BI ETL FS document and its content.
Please provide me detailed information to understand the functional specifications in SAP BI.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat Ganni.

Thanks for your response, but we are looking for integration between SAP NW BI (or BW) not BusinessObjects.
Sorry for the post. I can't seem to be able to present in the format I wanted.
I believe that is it a limitation on SDN form messaging format where I can't go beyond a certain number of texts automatically forcing the message in one big chunk.
But the summary requirements is to build a bi-directional bridge between GIS and BI u2018seamlesslyu2019 whereby:
1. A user can select an area of the ESRI-GIS map through a polygon containing combinations of characteristics and values (e.g. project, WBS, functional location, equipment, asset number etc.)
2. Then with a click on button somewhere on the map with execute a BI report (can be Web-based or Excel-based) processing these characteristics for display.
3. Then a user can navigate on this existing (or new) BI report (web or excel-workbook) to reach a new results set (like maybe smaller number of projects previously passed on and then with a click on a button in the BI report
4. Users will be able to view the graphical representation on these characteristics on the ESRI-GIS map.
In short, we are trying to find a way to pass list of values of any number to a BW report (either web or excel-workbook) for processing before execution and vice versa with an ESRI-GIS map.

Functional Specification Documents for SAP Sales and Distribution

Dear Gurus,
I am having the problems of Invoice Output..... the default out put generated by the SAP is completely different from the hard copy of the Invoice of the Client. ppl say that I have 2 take the help of ABAPers to define the smart forms for the invoices of different company codes.... i had conversation with the ABAPers.... butthey are asking the format, wht ever the change we are looking for..... I am not be able to get the exact format.... how 2 provide this to ABAPers in FS format.
can any one pls send me ( or provide me the link to download the same from the SDN website) these Functional Specification Documents for Sales and distribution.
Wishes,
Abhishek

Hi there,
1st try to understand what is a functional specification doc before asking for it.
Functional specs is a doc in which you include what is the business requirement. If it requires a change to change to existing configs / code, then you will give the progs & the location where you will need to change. If the requirement is a totally new one, then yuo will explain the requirement in detail & possibly give the progs / code if there are any.
In your case, your client has a specific invoice format which is different from which SAP gives, in such cases, you will need to define a new Invoice output for eg ZINV. Define it as a print output. You will need to define a new print prog for the new output in which you will call smart forms to define the layout & fields.
Ask your business user to send the invoice copy which he has. Scan it & include it in the functional specs which you prepare. Mention all the fields which you want in the layout. Ask the ABAPer to code the invoice format in the same way. ABAPer is free to define any convinent name as per the guidelines (which he will be aware). You will need to assign that in the form routines of the output.
As a functional consultant you will need to give the field mappings (from where you get the data) for all the fields which you wish to print in the output. All that should be included in the func specs.
So there is no standard func specs that you can follow. Each func specs varies on the requirement. So dont ask these kind of questions in SDN forum. If you dont know how to define func specs, ask how to define. Dont ask people to send the sample func specs. Thats against the rules of conduct.

Sivanand

Functional specification document

I have a requirement where i need to prepare functional specification document, could any one help me out with any fsd template on the same?
format required ( any example document will be an added advantage)

Just google for "sap pi functional document template" and you'll find what you are looking for in the first page itself.

Workflow Functional Specification Document

Hi All
I am working on a implementation project which includes Workflows. Right now I am in the process of writing the functional specification document for the Workflows. I am a functional consultant and never worked on workflows.
Can some one provide me what should be included in the functional document , how should the flow be written.
Is there any sample Workflow template anyone can share.
There are 4 places that requires workflows according to my understanding as described below in my requirement:
1. Workflow for corporate users when a notification is created or closed
2. Workflow email, forward a complaint to
     Finance Manager
     Quality Manager
     Plant Managers
3. Workflow for forwarding to an approver, reassign task to someone else
4. Workflow to send remainder emails for open items longer than 30 days
Please provide your insights and neccesary documentation to start
Thanks,
Sai

HI Prakash,
Thanks for the detailed response, it helped me a lot.
for approval to sales director, operations director and quality director an email has to be triggred simultaneously.We have predefined list depending on plant who can take corrective action and who can approve the corresponding task. Further users should have the option to select who should get the email.
For Approver Determination:
Case 1: In your scenario approver is not fixed.The approvers get selected based on plant. Try to get link between plant and all the approvers. The easy approch will be to maintain the approvers SAP ID in Z-Table against all the plant and developer will use RULE to fetch approvers from this Z-Table. The structure of Z-Table will be:
                                  PLANT     LEVEL   OBJID     USERID
For one plant 3 entry will be maitained here. LEVEL will help to identify the 3 types of approvers i.e. sales director, operations director and quality director. OBJID value will be US (if SAP ID will maintained in USERID), O (if Org. ID will maintained in USERID), S (if Position will maintained in USERID) etc. Benifit of this approch will be when ever you want to change any approver you have to change corresponding entry in this Z-Table no need to do changes in Workflow (As suggested by Ronen).
I used the same logic, creating a Z-Table for agents who has to approve the corrective action for taks completed. I was curious if there is a standard way to get this functionality in SAP. I am not sure about the responsibility rule that Mike was mentioning. Can you tell me which approach is a better design.
Case 2: Now I am confused since you said user can choose next level of approver. So please explain in which scenario Approver will come based on plant and in which scenario user will choose it manually. If user have to choose manually then a screen design is require. From approval screen based on user selection you need to pass the Approver in workflow.
Sorry for not putting things clealy. There are no levels for approval. Each of them are independent i.e. Sales director , Operations Manager and Quality director should get emails for approval after the Plant Manager, QA, Manager, Sales Coordinator take corrective action and the notification is closed only when all 3 of them approve the corrective action.
The user have to choose manually when the correspondng approver of that plant left the company, long vacation, took a new role etc...
Mail Notification: Extended mail notification functionaity is there. The person who will get work item in his/her SAP inbox for approval they will get mail notification in their external mail ID. All the approvers email id should be maintained along with their SAP ID in T-Code SU01. You Just need to provide mail contents in your FS, workflow developer will put same text in in mail body.
I was thinking about the SO23 distribution list for sending the emails to approvers. Also, how do the emails go to the corresonding approvers of that specific plant unless we explicity specify the email id's associated with that plant. Please clarify.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Inputs for reveiwing Functional specification to prepare TS document

Hello Gurus
Good day to you. Now i have a requirement for reviewing the functional specification. I have few FS documents and i want to review them and let my manager know whether those FS documents are having the required information to start up to write a TS document or not. if it is not having sufficient information or if i require more information or lack of information in FS to start up TS preparation, i need to inform my lead. This is my requirement.
Here i require your suggestions or inputs which i should take care while reviewing the existing Functional specification. Please provide your inputs as per your experience.
This is going to help me a lot.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
While reviewing the FS below are the key points which you note:
1. FS contains explanation of the functionality.
Functionality which you are trying to convey to the technical team to build
2. Details of the mapping tables if any
Mapping tables from legacy - SAP or SAP - upstream if any with the table info and applicability
3. Validity of specific values or length -
Validation if specific dates/char/numbers for fields required in SAP.
4. Analysis of any additional dependency for the FS
Any open clarification, requirements which would be a dependency for the FS (Example Input file)
Do let me know if you need any further info.
Regards,
MKS

Functional Specification Document needed

hi guys ...
i have been asked to write the functional specification document for the following issue... i have never wrote any functional Spec. till now... can n y one write it down for me...or tell me the exact format of how to write it down...
The issue is as follows....thx.
Invoice enhancements for tagging, serial number and email identification
1. Add the Customer Tagging Text to the invoice document.
2. Add Serial Number to the invoice.
3. Change the subject line for the emailed invoice from the generic "SPX Invoice $000000001" to the more meaningful format "SPX Invoice <invoice number>, SO <sales order number>, for <customer name>", the order acknowledgement already has a similar format
Please do reply.... thanks in advance.

Hi,
Broadly in SAP there will be two types of Consultants - Functional and Technical. Technical consultants are mainly working on developments / changes in programs using ABAP language.
On the other hand Functional Consultants understand the business process from Business users and map the functionality in SAP by doing required configurations and by designing reports.
Here comes the Functional Design Specification. The report / an extension is developed by Technical resource, but the design / explanation has to be given by Functional Consultant in such a way that Technical Consultant is able to understand it. In other words it should be a media for converting Business language into a language understood by Technical Consultant.
So, in a Functional design of a report Functional Consultant should furnish the following information:
   - Assumptions made
   - Pre requisites to be met for executing the report / transaction
   - Main Tables from which data to be selected
   - Selection Parameters for executing the report.
   - Logic for the Program
   - Layout of the report
Thanks
Murali.
