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 spoke to a friend of mine yesterday and he said that different projects vary but 90% of the time at the very minimum I would be given the source structure.... The Target structure and tole which fields map where. The only thing that may not be included are the things like the functions to use to achieve the result. i.e. Ifwithoutelse etc.

Would you guys agree that at the very least I would be given the structures and told what fields are meant to be mapped and to where?

Also Please Please Please.... Could someone send me an example of the documentation used on projects... i.e Functional Spec, Technical Spec, Proof of concept. Please this would really help me.
