Technical Specifications

[Former Member]

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_ I am getting the hang of this now

So Functional consultants will write a light tech spec.... Then I would have to go and look at the documents he/she is specifying and figure out which source field maps to which target field and any qualifyers are involved.

To do this would I get a hard copy of each document? How would I do this? I promise this is my last question then it will be solved

Also could any of you be kind enough to send me a technical and functional spec that you guys have received or done in the past. Please please please
