Hi,

Functional specification: The Functional Specification is a comprehensive document created after the Software Requirements Document. It provides more details on selected items originally described in the Software Requirements Template. Elsewhre organizations combine these two documents into a single document.

Functional specs is like a templeate document, hence it will be same whether it is AR or AP or CCA. Basically functional specs is a document which explains the requirements with technical details, so that technical consultant or any other person can read and understand what is the background of the report or an extension done in SAP.

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 specs should have the following details:

Background: Information why this report is required and Business process involved in that.

Selection Parameters: This should what fields should be selection fields, which are optional and which are mandatory etc.

Layout of the report: What information is required in the output of the report. This should also indicate the technical names - Table and field names from where the data needs to be fetched.

Detailed Description: This should explain the logic of the report - what calculations needs to be done etc.

The Functional Specification defines what the functionality will be of a particulat area that is to be precise a transaction in SAP terminology.

It also contains the data regarding change history, if any.

Functional Spec is mainly prepared for the purpose of developing the new reports (this happens only when SAP standard report not achieve the client purpose) using the ABAP Program. for ABAPers you need to give the details of the Tables , Fields and the logic how to pick the value and get the report.

Hi Marreddy,

Basically it will be prepared for all New Enhancements that comes in the project.

it consists of the Project Details and the person how prepared in the front page.

As a functional consultant we have to understand the requirement from the client and based on that we have to prepare this functional Spec. Later Functional Consultant will forward the same to the Technical Team to add their comments called Technical Spec, in which the Abapers will give the Technicality of the Requirement in the same and finally it will be sent to Client for Approval.

Functional specification: 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.

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 particulate 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 spects are preapred by functional consultants on any functionality for the purpose of getting the same functionality designed by the technical pepole 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 -

😎 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
