Dear Jagadish,
[Function Specs |http://www.mojofat.com/tutorial/] is a document which a functional consultant prepares to be given to Abaper. This Document contains details like Tables & fields name, Table joints, Logic for development, along with test case in sand box / test server to verify the development.
The format of Functional Specification varies with the client.
Please check with your client in regards to the format.
