Function Modules documentation.

[Former Member]

Hello Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is any documentations about function modules?

I am looking at some ABAP codes and it is somehow calling some function modules such as FIAA_DEPR_RECALCULATE, DEPR_RECALCULATE, AM_SHOW_POST_DEPR but I'm not sure what exactly they are doing.

I know there is SE84 that i can check import / export / tables... but it's not a documentation explaining what the purpose of these function modules are. There is Documentation in the menu, but it always says "Document (function module) is not available in language EN" (I tried DE, but not working either)

May I ask where I can obtain more information about these?

thanks in advanced.

Regards

Matthew.

Hi Mathew,

Not all function modules from SAP will have associated documentation, you will have to first check if the FM is released by SAP or not, this you can do by checking the Released on field on the attributes tab of the FM. If you have a date here, then it means it is released and it will have associated documentation, you can read this by clicking on the documentation button on the application toolbar of SE37.

For FMs that do not have documentation, and you want to know the functionality of it, sufficient comments are written in the code and these comments are in German most of the times, you might need to use Language on Google tools to translate it to English :).

Regards,

Chen
