Test Cases
Similarly, the test cases should include all individual test execution
steps of the TO BE requirement. Again, the test team needs to use this
document to develop the scripts and execute the testing once the
object is developed. Be as detailed as possible!
Summary
At the end of the day, the SAP functional specification is the blueprint
used to build development objects in the system. Spend some time and
effort writing the document. Ensure that the requirements are
understood, the expected result is clearly defined, and that all of the
above is agreed upon by all stakeholders.
2).
Off-shore resources are sometimes time zone shifted eight or more hours
ahead of where the project is located. If a functional specification document
is released for review, it will not be analyzed until we have left for the day. If
the off-shore reviewer has questions or raises issues, we will not see these
questions or issues until the next day when we arrive at the project site.
When we respond to the questions or issues, the off-shore team will not see
our response until we have left for the day. And so on.
The point here is to make sure that the project planners understand the real
complexity and effort required on the development side, and to make sure
that the project plan and budget reflects these more realistic metrics. This
really goes a long way to stop everyone from wondering, “It’s only one
interface! What is taking development so long?”
Great Expectations
So what is a reasonable set of expectations for a really good functional
specification document? What is it that we are asking the business analyst
to do?
An explanation of the need for development. Exactly what is the gap, and
how will automating the business process close the gap?
Clear and concise details with respect to data mappings, formulae, data
transformations, conditional processing, etc. If I come to an intersection and
it is unclear whether I should continue to go straight, turn left, or turn right,
then the functional specification document needs a bit more detail behind it.
Summary
A good functional specification document will help tremendously in moving a
project forward in the right direction with minimal cost and risk. A poor
functional specification document has serious potential to cause project
delays, and schedule and cost overruns. The best goal for the project is to
achieve a good functional specification document, using whatever means
required.

REPORT EXAMPLE.
WRITE ‘Hello World’.

Usually, people who go for SAP ABAP certification (or just for ABAP
developer profession) have highly technical background. For example,
they could have Bachelor degree in computer science and know how to
write programs in Java or other programming languages. If one knows
how to write programs, usually it is relatively easy to learn basics of
SAP ABAP because all you need to learn is a new syntax and rules for
organising your programs. However, it is could be very challenging to
master SAP ABAP at the advanced or expert levels due to a large
amount of technical nuances of SAP.
Exactly like other SAP certifications of the Associate level, SAP ABAP
certification offers you to answer 80 questions. Each question is
multiple-choice (so, it is necessary to just tick all the correct options).
There is no negative marking for wrong answers. Therefore, if you don’t
know the correct answer for sure, it makes sense to try and guess it.
Even if your guess turns out to be wrong, you will not be given
negative points for providing the incorrect answer.

If you do not want to pay a hefty amount of money for the official
training course, it could be a good idea to ask your colleagues of
friends who previously attended the official training to borrow these
books for several weeks. Another alternative is to use SAP
books (available to purchase) because they generally explain the same
concepts. In this case, you should make sure that you closely follow
SAP ABAP certification syllabus in your preparation. It will help to
focus on the important topics and allocate less attention to questions
that do not have big weight in SAP ABAP certification.

If you decide to study yourself, you may need access to SAP system for
doing practical exercises. Again, there are different options. One
opportunity is to purchase access to an SAP system that was set up
and is maintained by somebody. Learn more about it here: SAP IDES
Sandbox. The benefits is that the system is ready to use and it is a full
SAP ERP system. The downside is that you need to pay for it. Another
opportunity is download developer and/or trial editions of SAP
NetWeaver from SAP website and install them on your own computer.
More information about this option can be found here: SAP Developer
and Trial Editions. The benefit of this option is that it is FREE. The
downside is that you will need to figure out how to install and
configure it.
Finally, we would like to wish you good luck with passing SAP ABAP
certification and success in your SAP career. Let’s hope that your
achievements will keep you motivated to continue professional growth.

The SAP general ledger is linked to the sub ledgers. For every
transaction posted in the sub ledger, the same value will be updated to
the corresponding reconciliation account.

The first area that denotes that this is a reconciliation account is the
control data in the “Type/Description” tab. Here, you should note that
the account group “Recon.account ready for input” is selected. Also,
all reconciliation accounts should be identified as balance sheet
accounts:
Displaying a reconciliation account
Click on “Control Data” tab and check the second area that has to be
maintained when creating a reconciliation account. In the field
“Recon.account for acct type” you select between assets, customers
and vendors to specify which sub ledger the account reconciles:

Use transaction code FK03 to display a vendor or use the the following
menu path:
Enter a valid company code and vendor number, select the “Accounting
info” tick box and press enter. The reconciliation account 160000
examined earlier is assigned in the “Recon. account” field for this
vendor:
Displaying a vendor
The result is that for every posting recorded under vendor 36, the
general ledger updates with the same amount via reconciliation
account 160000.

To post a vendor invoice use transaction code FB60 or you can use the
following menu path:
Fill in the vendor number examined above (vendor 36 in our case) and
all details necessary for posting an invoice:
Posting a vendor invoice
Now post the invoice and click “Document > Display” on the top far left
of the toolbar to display the created document:
Displaying invoice document
You will see the following screen. Here you see that vendor 36 has
been credited with 2000 BWP. Click on general ledger view:
Displaying invoice document in entry view
You can see the reconciliation account 160000 assigned to the vendor
account is updated by the transaction above:
Displaying invoice document in general ledger view
The end result is that reconciliation account 160000 was also credited
with 2000 BWP. Therefore, every time you post a transaction to a sub
ledger account the reconciliation account will be updated with the
same amount in real time. In order to maintain a clean reconciliation
with the sub ledger, SAP reconciliation account can only be updated by
the system through the sub ledger. Direct posting to SAP reconciliation
account is prohibited by the system.
