what is a Functional Spec?What updates do SAP FICO
consultant do in Functional Spec?

Answer Posted / hannah

Hi,
The Functional Specification describes the features of the
desired functionality.. It describes the product's features
as seen by the stake holders,and contains the technical
information and the data needed for the design and
development.

The Functional Specification defines what the functionality
will be of a particulate area that is to be precise a
transaction in SAP terminology.

The Functional Specification document to create a detailed
design document that explains in detail how the software
will be designed and developed.

The functional specification translates the Software
Requirements template into a technical description which

a) Ensures that the product feature requirements are
correctly understood before moving into the next step, that
is technical development process.

b) Clearly and unambiguously provides all the information
necessary for the technical consultants to develop the objects.

At the consultant level the functional spects are prepared
by functional consultants on any functionality for the
purpose of getting the same functionality designed by the
technical people as most of the times the functionalities
according to the requirements of the clients are not
available on ready made basis.

A functional consultant evaluates the demands in talking
with the customer's representatives, transforms the essence
into an abstract and algorithmic business . Hence, he
identifies the use cases and transforms them into logical
and technical views.

Then the main task starts: customizing the respective
business area and making sure the system reacts in the
manner according to the constraints of the requested use case.

The consultant documents the settings and prepares proper
guidelines that allow other consultants to do further
changes or repairs with due efforts.

The consultant takes care that proper training is given to
the users and that the system is usable, performing
appropriately and the business flow is complete and correct.

During go live he assists the technical staff by testing the
behavior of the system.

After go live he guarantees that the procedures remain
usable and consistent in real live situation and proposes
enhancements.

The main duty of a consultant is to transfer external
know-how to the client. It is not manpower that counts but
intelligence, understanding of processes, a feeling for
defects and general a common sense.

Thank You.
