Functional Specs differ from company to company as every company has its own format for all the design documents and hence sharing my FD wont help.

However, The main blocks of FD contains

1. Business Need

2. Process Flow

3. Technical info like tables/field names, user exits, etc.

4. Test scenarios

5. Test cases.

Below are the standards for Tech specs

1.1 Development Attributes

Program Name:

Title:

Application:

Development Class:

Message Class:

Program Type:

Execution Mode:

Schedule Frequency:

Variant:

1.2 Program Functionality

1.3 Output Fields

Output Label

Related SAP table-field (if any)

Length

Output Characteristics

1.4 Proposed Solutions

1.5 Solution to be implemented

1.6 Reasons of selection/rejection

1.7 Pseudo-Code / Flow Logic of the selected solution

1.8 Selection Screen

1.9 Database Tables Used

Table Name

Table Description

How the table is used in the program

1.10 External Files Used

1.10.1 External File Layout <file name>

1.11 Components External to Program Used

1.12 Error Conditions

1.13 Key Technical Test Conditions

1.14 Sample Test Data

1.15 Assumptions

1.16 Comments

Every organization may have diff template , you may require to follow the template . In TS you have to write clearly in technical term but dont do any copy pase from the code , which not at all sound good.

Pl find the tips below:

1.In 1st page you may require to give heading and company logo also at the RHS.

2.Give title of the document , SAP Module Name, Specification Type (Giv ein a tabular format)

3.Revision History in Tabluar Format including Author , Description , Date , Version ( Version management very imp try to maintain it)

4.Requirement Description : Enter in detail wat is u r reqmt.

5.U may add Process flow diagram using visio etc.

6.Outstanding issues

7.Prerequisites

8.Input Parameter Details

9.Processign logic Details

10.Out Put Details (if Report Output Format)

11.The few unit testing scripts also u can include

12.Proper file name , in header & Footer

13. Always try to keep track changes on for version management. If u need to create new version try to accept previous version then keep track for curren tchanges.

14. Maintain index & Page no in table content .

Hi Saritha,

As you are aware, tech-spec would be written to explain the functional spec in technical terms to the developer.

So just mention what is the function that is to be called and where?

It is in your discretion whether to mention the ABAP statements used in callling the function and to include the logic which goes into the Function Module.

Specify the import parameters and export parameters that are to be used by the Function Module.

Try to include a flow diagram which explains the logic flow of the code. That's it.
