Hi Srikanata

You are in a very advantageous situtaion. Once you know the ABAP skills you are equipped with the design knowledge. Remember that a car designer also have to learn driving.Since you want to change over to functional domain, first get some idea about how your business is running. Preferably join business where may be materials are procured and finished product is sold. Once you have some knowledge about the business then you can tune the software as per industry needs. Thats where functional people come into. With added knowledge of ABAP you are bound to do well. MM, SRM is a good area to start with.

Dear Srikanta,

I would suggest you to move to SAP CRM. SAP CRM is one module which requires techno functional skills.

Hope this helps you.

Do award points if you found them useful.

Function Modules: Function modules are procedures that are defined in special ABAP programs only, so-called function groups, but can be called from all ABAP programs. Function groups act as containers for function modules that logically belong together. You create function groups and function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder.

Use: Function modules allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions in the SAP System. They are managed in a central function library. The SAP System contains several predefined functions modules that can be called from any ABAP program. Function modules also play an important role during updating and in interaction between different SAP systems, or between SAP systems and remote systems through remote communications.

You can use SE84 to know the list of functional modules realted to SD module
