tell me the mean of technical specification and functional specification in report?
‎2007 Feb 18 7:26 PM
Hi,
Functional specification is written by the functional consultant. He explains the users need for a such a report and the some info about the tables and fields to be used and the pseudo logic for the functionality of the report.
As a technical consultant we need to write the technical specs on what logic we have used in the progam and which tables have been used and the function modules used or developed for this development.
If any further developments are required for this object the technical & functional consultants will refer to these specs to understand the business requirement.
