Hi Alex,
Functional specs are inputs from functional or business users what they would like to see in report For eg: Monthly Incoming Orders for all sales organizations for different sales groups and sales offices-customer wise.This is a simple example and u will get different requirements like this.from this starting point u decide to follow Top Down or Bottom approach.First u see from which tables the data is getting stored and u see whether a business content datasource have all required fields coming from this table and ifnot enhance it in source system.Check the relevant objects in BI,if you have business content delivered objects if not create custom "Z" infoobjects,DSO or Infocubes etc..from technical point of view this are technical specifications like specifying similar datatype and length of objects
What Are Functional Specification in SAP?
To speak at macro level that is at projet 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. Elsewhre organizations combine these two documents into a single document.
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 Specification defines what the functionality will be of a particulat 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 detchnical developement 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 functinal consultants on any functionality for the purpose of getting the same functinality 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.
