Function Module

Former Member — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 21:20:34 GMT

hello friends,

Is there a way to figure out the function module that would satisfy any purpose. Also If I know the function Module can I figure out whats the purpose of it. I mean any documentation on it.

This is really hit or miss. You can sometimes determine what function module MIGHT serve the purpose by the function module description or even name. A lot of times, there will be no documenation for the FM, therefore you would have to test it and go thru several iterations to get it to work.

Hi,

You can search by name of the function module..

Lets say create sales order...You can search in SE37 by ordercreate* or createorder*..

For function module documentation..In se37...

Goto -> documentation -> Function module documentation..

If there is no Function module documentation...

THen you have to test the Function module to check if it satisfies your requirement..

To test FM...In SE37...Function module -> test -> Single test..

Thanks,

Naren

Hi Madhu. You can go to transaction SE37 to look up information (imported fields, exported fields, source code, etc.) on any function module. Once you enter the name of the function module, select "Goto" from the top menu, then "Documentation", then "Function Module Documentation" to view the documentation. You can also use this transaction to search for a function module. Just click on the find button from the main screen of SE37 (the binoculars) and then type in whatever key words or fragments you like in the description or name fields (using an asterisk on either side) and click on the execute button. I hope this helps.
