Functional spec and its preparation

what ia functional spec in sap sd and how to prepare functional spec in sap sd implementation

Functional Specification Document (FSD) is a document to determine and define the business process of the area discussed. Depending on how SAP is implemented in your organization, FSD format may differs for reports, enhancement, interface or forms.
FSD should be reviewed by the business owner. Once agreed, FSD should be forwarded to the programmer to start the development of the business process. This is the reason why FSD should be detail, comprehensive and technical enough so that the programmer can understand the whole requirement and coding can be easily developed.
A standard FSD format should include:
- Title of the business process
- Version history
- Complexity
- Detail user requirement
- Pre-requisite and assumption
- Process flow diagram
- Enhancement screen (if any)
- Output layout
- Field and table description (which table/field to insert, update or delete)
- Input and output parameters
- Error handling
- Testing requirement

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

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

Difference between business blueprint and functional spec

hello
can somebody please tell me the difference between business blueprint and functional spec and how they are interrelated
Thanks

Hi Comandante,
Business Blue print is a detailed documentation of the requirements gathered from client (The objects we need to develop are modified depending upon clients requirements).It represents the business process requirements of the company. It is an agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within SAP system.
Functional specifications (functional specs), in the end, are the blueprint for how you want a particular report and transaction to look and work. It details what the report will do, how a user will interact with it, and what it will look like. By creating a blueprint of the report or transaction first, time and productivity are saved during the development stage because the programmers can program instead of also working out the logic of the user-experience. It will also enable you to manage the expectations of your clients or management, as they will know exactly what to expect. Functional Spec streamlines the development process.
A functional specification is a formal document used to describe in detail for software developers a product's intended capabilities, appearance, and interactions with users. It guidelines and continuing reference point as the developers write the programming code.
Other processes include Requirements, Objectives,Logic Specification,User documentation,The Final Product.
Hope this Helps, Revert for any further info.
Cheers,
Tanish

How to write Functional Spec s for Duplicate and Postal Check for ELM

Hi Guru s
Can any one guide me how to write functional specifications for Duplicate Check and postal Check for ELM kindly share information on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasanna

Hello Jaya,
I would say that there are many ways to write a FS. Maybe every big company has its own template. As it is the functional spec and not the technical one, I would say that you only need to describe what you want to see on the screen (like with mock-screenshots) or which functionality you want to have from a super-user''s point of view. All the technical details like which database table or function modules need to be investigated by the developer or technical consultant. I am currently in a SAP CRM Service in the technical role and that is the way we work here and I am fine with that. Unfortunately I am not allowed to send you an example.
Best regards,
Thomas Wagner
