These are everyday business terms and not unique to SAP. Please consider reading this book that should cover the business processes: https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-SAP-ERP-Integration-Certification/dp/194177301X

Welcome to the SAP world !

A functional Consultant communicates with technical consultant via Functional specification which contains the developments to be done.

If you are not able to understand something, please do not hesitate to ask about the functionality this will give you more clarity about the processes as well but for that, functional has to be willing to spend much time on explaining the functionality.

Nowadays, I am facing more issues from the functional side like
Sales order, Purchase order, Invoice, Document..

Give some time analyze the custom issues and flows. Over the period you will feel confident.

All the very best.

Regards

Kamlesh

Even junior ABAPers are not able to understand many such functional terminologies and no wonder, being you are a fresher, you should be feeling that you have entered into some Alien world. Definitely, it will take sometime (years) for you to understand what is happening and why such issues are coming.

Normally in SAP, issues will come due to various reasons like

  • frequent master data change
  • lack of SAP knowledge for user
  • more customized transactions are running
  • lot of customization / validations set


From the above categories, ABAP will come into picture in case of last two situations and as a technical consultant, you need to understand the business process / functionality from functional consultants and analyze how to address the reported issue. Again, as I said already, even at basic level, analyzing the issue from ABAP side in debug mode, is not an easy task for a fresher. You need to keep learning meticuluously
