Well -- have you ACTUALLY tried doing  this. Most of the time you'll get  a SAP message  "Document Function module name in Language EN (or whatever) doesn't exist.
(Some of the newer fmods do have some documentation as well as the BAPI's but great swathes of the old FM's don't).
That still also doesn't relate to the original point --there isn't any point in learning what all these do --you are simply wasting "Brain Power and capacity".
It's much better to find out when you've got real problems to sort out or processes to analyze.
That's one of the HUGE differences between experienced developers and relative newbies.
With SAP there really is TOO MUCH info to absorb totally - especially in a short time.
Pick your area and just go through the forums, google, use colleagues etc etc.
The fact that i might know what a quantum computer is or that function module xxxxxx is used in say the PP module won't make me per-se a better devloper.
