Please provide guidelines on Functional Specification

Hello Everyone,
I need to know about Functional Specification and Reports for sub modules like PA and OM.
Is it compulsory to have ABAP knowledge for performing role in Functional Specification. Does a functional consultant creates user exits, and does Testing. If yes, how?? Please help me out with this. Any input from anyone would be a great help for me. Thanks in advance.
Rachna.

Hi Rachna,
The Functional Specification is a document whisch describes the features of the desired functinality. It contains the technical information and the data needed for the design, developement and testing requirements.
Its not mandatory that the functional consultant should know the ABAP.But functional consultant must have Domain knowledge.
Functional consultants should be aware of all the user exits for any particular transaction .but its not compulsory that he should do the coding.Normally ABAPERS do the coding in user exit.But in the case of testing functional has to do the testing for diiferent scenarios.
Regards,
Manoj.

Hi Jurgen,
Thank you very much for the reply.
I am searching, but i could not find what i am searching. I am getting all the information on formats how to go abt the calculation, etc..
But for example if i want write a functional spec to get one report from two tables (an example for it).
or
If i want to have alphabet on both sides of the material number (an example for it). Anything like that with real example.
I will search till i get it.
Thank you once again for your time.

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...

Functional Specification:
To speak at macro level that is at project manager or at senior levels. The Functional Spec (Specification) which is a comprehensive document is created after the (SRS) Software Requirements Document. It provides more details on selected items originally described in the Software Requirements Template. Elsewhere organizations combine these two documents into a single document.
The Functional Specification describes the features of the desired functionality. It describes the product's features as seen by the stake holders, and contains the technical information and the data needed for the design and development.
The Functional Specification defines what the functionality will be of a particular area that is to be precise a transaction in SAP terminology.
The Functional Specification document to create a detailed design document that explains in detail how the software will be designed and developed.
The functional specification translates the Software Requirements template into a technical description which
a) Ensures that the product feature requirements are correctly understood before moving into the next step that is technical development process.
b) Clearly and unambiguously provides all the information necessary for the technical consultants to develop the objects.
At the consultant level the functional specs are prepared by functional consultants on any functionality for the purpose of getting the same functionality designed by the technical people as most of the times the functionalities according to the requirements of the clients are not available on ready made basis.
Let me throw some light on documentation which is prepared before and in a project:
1) Templates
2) Heat Analysis -
3) Fit Gap or Gap Analysis
4) Business Process Design
5) Business Process Model
6) Business Change & Impact
7) Configuration Design, which is just 5 % of Total SAP- have different names -
8) Future Impact & Change Assessment
9) Functional Design (Module Wise)
10) Risk Assessment
11) Process Metrics and Many More-- Which has impact on Business and its work flow

Please update the functional specifications for Vendor Balance Report

Dear All,
Please update the functional specifications for Vendor Balance Report with
proper descriptions.
Please include
1. How your selection screen should look like..
2. Output format ( in an excel sheet)
3. Logic for every field in the output format (viz. .. how do link the
vendors from the selection screen to the BKPf and BSEG tables, how do you
find open and closed items in BSEG , etc.)
Please avoid statements like 'The total value of all the break-up should
tally with the balance as shown in FBL1N for a given vendor for the given
day.'
You need to give the logic for the FBL1N, in that case.

Hello again,
Regarding having them update the specs, one can dream. Dreams are free. LOL. Hopefully the memory makers will update their specs as more makers start supporting a large memory configuration.
The 4GB sticks I am using are http://shop.kingston.com/partsinfo.asp?ktcpartno=KTL-TP667/4G
I did not do an extended test of the sticks in my MBP. Their home is in the ThinkPad I have because it is running Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V.
As you can see from the link above, these little suckers are pricey. But consider the price of 2GB SoDIMMs were $950 when they entered the market a couple of years ago. The price will drop.
I asked the Kingston rep that sent these to me if online sites like newegg.com would have them soon. She indicated no, but the corporate buying sites like CDW and Zone would. So check around. They just started shipped a couple of weeks ago so be patient.
If you have any other questions, please stop by http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2008/07/05/testing-my-apple-macbook- pro-with-8gb-of-ram.aspx and ask there. I'll see them much more quickly.

Hi BI guru's
Would you please some one can provide me Reporting function and Techn specs.I have got new requirement for the reports.
Hence i need to prepare Functiona and technical spec for them.
I don't have any documents related to it.
Please some one can help me and mail it to [email protected]

Hi,
You need the template for techical specs? Your question is not clear. If you are asking for templates, I don't think they can be shared in a common forum like this.
We can give you an idea as to how it can be prepared, but I guess you will already have templates for your documentation in your company portal.

What is the significance of Functional Specification.

Please do mail me at [email protected]

Dear FARHAN FAROOQ,
The Functional Specification describes the features of the desired functinality.
It describes the product's features as seen by the stake holders,and contains the technical information and the data needed for the design and developement.
The Functional Specification defines what the functionality will be of a particulat area that is to be precise a transaction in SAP terminology.
The Functional Specification document to create a detailed design document that explains in detail how the software will be designed and developed.
The functional specification translates the Software Requirements template into a technical description which
a) Ensures that the product feature requirements are correctly understood before moving into the next step, that is detchnical developement process.
b) Clearly and unambiguously provides all the information necessary for the technical consultants to develop the objects.
A functional specification (or sometimes functional specifications) is a formal document used to describe in detail for software developers a product's intended capabilities, appearance, and interactions with users. The functional specification is a kind of guideline and continuing reference point as the developers write the programming code. (At least one major product development group used a "Write the manual first" approach. Before the product existed, they wrote the user's guide for a word processing system, then declared that the user's guide was the functional specification. The developers were challenged to create a product that matched what the user's guide described.) Typically, the functional specification for an application program with a series of interactive windows and dialogs with a user would show the visual appearance of the user interface and describe each of the possible user input actions and the program response actions. A functional specification may also contain formal descriptions of user tasks, dependencies on other products, and usability criteria. Many companies have a guide for developers that describes what topics any product's functional specification should contain.
For a sense of where the functional specification fits into the development process, here are a typical series of steps in developing a software product:
Requirements. This is a formal statement of what the product planners informed by their knowledge of the marketplace and specific input from existing or potential customers believe is needed for a new product or a new version of an existing product. Requirements are usually expressed in terms of narrative statements and in a relatively general way.
Objectives. Objectives are written by product designers in response to the Requirements. They describe in a more specific way what the product will look like. Objectives may describe architectures, protocols, and standards to which the product will conform. Measurable objectives are those that set some criteria by which the end product can be judged. Measurability can be in terms of some index of customer satisfaction or in terms of capabilities and task times. Objectives must recognize time and resource constraints. The development schedule is often part or a corollary of the Objectives.
Functional specification. The functional specification (usually functional spec or just spec for short) is the formal response to the objectives. It describes all external user and programming interfaces that the product must support.
Design change requests. Throughout the development process, as the need for change to the functional specification is recognized, a formal change is described in a design change request.
Logic specification. The structure of the programming (for example, major groups of code modules that support a similar function), individual code modules and their relationships, and the data parameters that they pass to each other may be described in a formal document called a logic specification. The logic specification describes internal interfaces and is for use only by the developers, testers, and, later, to some extent, the programmers that service the product and provide code fixes to the field.
User documentation. In general, all of the preceding documents (except the logic specification) are used as source material for the technical manuals and online information (such as help pages) that are prepared for the product's users.
Test plan. Most development groups have a formal test plan that describes test cases that will exercise the programming that is written. Testing is done at the module (or unit) level, at the component level, and at the system level in context with other products. This can be thought of as alpha testing. The plan may also allow for beta test. Some companies provide an early version of the product to a selected group of customers for testing in a "real world" situation.
The final product. Ideally, the final product is a complete implementation of the functional specification and design change requests, some of which may result from formal testing and beta testing.
The cycle is then repeated for the next version of the product, beginning with a new Requirements statement, which ideally uses feedback from customers about the current product to determine what customers need or want next.
Hope this helps you.
Do award points if you found them useful.

Rakesh

Now the issue is that we need to maintain a connection chain from BRS -to- SRS -to- IDD.
This connection/mapping we need for handling Change Requests and doing Impact Analysis.
We are maintaining an excel sheet for that named as RTM (Requirements Tracibility Matrix).
This PROCESS of maintaining RTM is so cumbersome. Its an overhead and consumes lots of time. Please any of u guys who is or was a part of Process, please give some suggestions or guidelines by which we can do some betterment in this workflow.We used an application called CORE. One of its main capabilities was requirements traceability. I don't remember the name of the company that supplies CORE. I am guessing that other companies provide applications with similar capabilities.

We are planning to adopt for ABAP program to transfer data from Time Recording System to SAP. Can anyone provide me with the functional specifications I should be providing to the ABAP consultants. Also please provide the Standard format we should follow to give Functional Specs to the ABAP consultants.
Regards,
T.Satish

Dear Christopher,
Our customer has existing Time Recording terminals(TRT). These TRT's do not have an interface with SAP. The data is downloaded in "text" format from the TRT. We are planning to develop a BDC for the data transfer. I am required to give the Functional Specs for this purpose. If possible please give me a copy of the functional specs prepared for data transfer from TRT to SAP.
