Hai Bala...

As a functional consultant , we may often come across certain situations from clients to modify / create or design a new requirement or a report or a new funcitionality with your existing System in place...

Say for eg : you may have a requirement from your client to include a new report in your system which enable the user to see the sales detail of a particular customer who avail certain discounts in a particular period of time.. then you may have to create a report with inputs like

1) Customer

2) Discount Conditon type

3) Date

where as the output will be having all the desired details like the

1) Sales orders for that customer

2) Its value

3) The customer address etc etc

(This example is just to give you a scenario)

Hence .. YOu have to develop a report which is not already available in Standard SAP. You have to contact your abaper to explain this requirement and to design this report,who will be desinging the report.

So FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION is a document which contains all the requirement details, input details, the table and their field names, Output details ,the table and their field names, the constraints which needs to be checked while executing the report, input constraints, output constraints, Error handling methods and also the process flow...

The Functional consultants will prepare the funciton requirement specification (Also called as FRS) and submit to the ABAPer .ABAPer will design the report / requirement or new funcitionality on the basis of the document.

Hope this is fruitful...

Hi,

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.

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 Assessement

9) Functional Design (Module Wise)

10) Risk Assessement

11) Process Metrics and Many More-- Which has impact on Business and its work flow
