Hi Vijay,

<b>1. Actually, depending upon the project, tasks for the abaper will be assigned. For example, in few projects, you will be having some tools like clarity, where all your tickects or chage requests. Or in some other projects, it will assigned by the consecutive lead persons. really, it depends on the project .

2.This is direct, based on the functional spec/requirement you will develop tech spec. As an abaper you will be concentrating on few things in tech spec development like, Logical part and technical part, as development class, authorization group. ETc

3. At domain level you can see the conversion routines , these are basically used to convert your fiels (for example material -0000000123) to user understandable way 123) Etcs.</b>

Thanks

Hi Vijay,

1. It depends on the project you are working either Developement, Support or Upgrade. If you are working in a developement you will mostly receive Technical Specs from the on-site co-ordinator or from your team lead. Technical spec typically contains the actual requirement (Report, Function module or Transaction..etc) details like tables used ..screen flow..logic to be used to fetch the data. If you are woking in a Support environment ..the process is a bit different. You will be communicating with on-site thru client's mail box like Lotus Notes..You can chat with them using Sametime..The main task in the support is you will be receiving the Tickes (Issues) in a tool like Vantive, Synergy or Remidy..etc. Those tickets have some priority. Based on that you have to resolve the issues. When coming to Upgrade , you have to change the programs, tables, structure or function modules..etc in sync with the new version.

2) Technical Specification will be created based on the Function / Business Specifications. Functional specs contains functionality of the requirement and flow of the data ..etc. You have to convert those into Technical terms and prepare the technial specs. Like if they give Vendor and Customer details in Functional spec you have to convert those into LIFNR, KUNNR..etc..

3) Conversion routines in Domain mainly used to convert the format of the data stored in the underlying tables. For some domains the format of the data visible is different from the format stored in the table. Conversion Exits are used to convert the format of the data at the domain level. You can convert the data input and output for a domain.
