Technical Specifications

Hi Guys,

I am cvurrently on a project at the moment and am getting completely comfortable with all of the tools of SAP XI.

The problem I fear I will face in the future is the fact that here, they already have everything done through webmethods so their is no need to gather specs etc which I know will be needed on other projects.

I was wandering if someone could give me an example of how you would gather all of the the relevant information in order to start a brand new implementation. Things like where would you find what fields needed to mapped from IDOC to EDI and visa versa.

Is there a methodology to do this? and specific transactions to find this information.

Also could someone be kind enough to email me some examples of what a technical specification looks like. i.e. for the mapping, adapeters etc

Thank you in advance

Ok thank you... So you guys are saying that often it is the business consultants who will come up with the functional AND Technical Specs and it is the XI Consultants job to implement these? Is that correct?

In the case where I would have to do the specs is it just a case of speaking to the users finding what documents they use.... Speaking to the business partners/Clients finding what they send and receive and making sence of it that way?

Would I use transaction WE60 to help with this

For me... Business consultants provide only a functional specs and <u>a light</u> technical spec with the format (see my previous message). And XI developers write the technical specs with all created XI objects.

Only when you exchange data by using an <u>IDoc</u>. It's often the case for the ECC-R/3 side... For the other one, you can see the SAP HELP of Adapters
