Hi Kiran,
The role of SRM functional consultant at broad and high level are;
1. To map business processes in SAP SRM. As this is purchasing application tool, you should be strong in MM processes.
a. Baisic customizing - you should know minimum basis concept to be able to work with Baisis team for RFC connection, Logical sys defination etc.
b. Business process related customizing - to fit business processes like SSP, Sourcing, Contract management and so on.
c. Customizing tasks in ERP system - MM settings, CRM table maintenance for Master data replication etc.
2. SRM MDM related customizing in SRM - If MDM catalog process in in scope of your project, you should perform these settings.
3. SRM functional consultant should be aware of SRM role concept - SAP roles and Portal roles.
4. SRM project specific tasks - based on the role, one should also prepare test cases for integration testing, user training documents, customizing documnets etc.
5. As SRM deals with many interfaces, functional consultant should be aware of them i.e. at least basics of SRM MDM, PI, NW Portal etc.
6. SRM functional consultants should be aware of most frequently used BADI's in SRM and MM.
As there is no straight answer for your question because the role varies from project to project.
How ever, above listed are desirable tasks or expected from a SRM function consultant.
Look for other answers from experts as well.
Thanks,
Hari
