Hi,
we will see what are they and what role Functional Consultants perform
in them with real time examples
database.
When the standard SAP reports does not meet the client or business
requirement we have to develop custom reports with the help of ABAP
team. For this we need to understand what is the selection screen, what
output they want like what data they want to display on the screen once
the report is executed
For this we need to give the functional specification to the ABAP team

For this we need to give the functional specification to the ABAP team
with the details like what is the selection screen, what is the output
format and what are the tables and fields from which data needs to
fetched..based on this they develop the custom report
Some times we can generate own reports with out taking the help of
ABAP by generating the queries by combining various tables and
generating reports
external systems (Non SAP systems). For example for Planning they use
third party systems like M2, ADS and for Quality they use LIMS..We need
to send the data from SAP to those Non SAP systems and receive the data
from them back to SAP system..normally IDocs are used for this data
transfers..
Ex: In the planning function entire planning is done in non SAP systems like
M2 or ADS then the planning results are transferred to SAP R/3 system in
the form of Planned Independent requirements (PIRs) through IDocs. In
the Quality functions Inspection lot details from R/3 are transferred to LIMS
where user enters the results now these results come and updated in SAP
R/3 system in results recording for the corresponding inspection lot

So when you first implement SAP, you are actually replacing some of
your legacy systems, but you are not completely trashing the data. You
still need some of that data from the systems that are being replaced.
So you pull the data out of your legacy systems and put them on some
files. You then want to load that data into your new SAP system.That is
when you write some programs which will read that data and load it into
SAP.
So during go live, you want to transfer the Production orders from from
your legacy system to SAP. Now a Production order in your legacy
system may not have the same fields as a Production Order in SAP. So
you convert the data.
