hi,

all FMs that are RFC enabled are bqsically exposable as webservices. if a FM is not RFC enabled, you just have have to write a remote enabled wrapper function module (one that does nothing else but call the non-RFC FM).

but, from a business process perspective it is most questionable if a random given FM resembles anything like a business object, semantically making enough sense to a yet unknown consumer using this "service".

To my knowledge there is no "proper T-Code" to view all FMs belonging to SD. Moreover there are thousands of FMs belonging to dev packages for a certain area, e.g. SD.

there is no other way to approach this question experimentally. enter transaction SAP1, select SD, select your area of interest, say Shipping, choose any Report of interest, say Deliveries for transportation planning. put your cursor in any characteristic field, say Route, press F1, get the Help and click button Technical Information, double click e.g. the data element ROUTE, change to the Attributes tab and find the package VL. goto SE80, choose Package, enter VL, hit return and see all dev objects belonging to this package. open Function Groups and find a loooong list of function groups. Read the descriptions and open the one you are interested in, say Route schedule, V51B. open Function Modules and find a number of function modules. double click the one you are interested in, change to tab atributes and see if it's remote enabled (most often it isn't). Use the "where-Used"-functionality to maybe find further artefacts which might be useful, if you're lucky, you find a remote enabled FM that wraps this one.

but again, FMs are no Business Objects and no Service objects either.

well, nothing spectacular, usual ABAPer procedure I suppose.

Hi,

For list of all FMs related to SD you should search on SDN or ask someone who worked with ABAP in SD area or may be functional consultant. Transaction to view FM is SE37.
