High- Level Specification

Functional Overview

The functional design describes the scenario(s) where this user interface will be invoked and describes some estimates, requirements, and initial designs for how the user interface will work.

Scope and Objectives

Detail the functional scope and objectives of the User Interface. Please also describe the gap that will be addressed by this User interface (Compared to SAP Standard

Process Flow Diagram

Insert the flowchart and fill in the steps

Assumptions

Describe any assumptions that have been made in the process of completing this design. What functionality is expected of configuration or other developments that pass information to this development and/ or retrieve the information processed by it (performance, triggers, exceptions, etc.)> 

Dependencies

Indicate any dependencies or constraints that may impact development, in terms of requirements from internal or external applications or teams, limited access to legacy system, time constraints or data restrictions. Also, please specify schedule dependencies e.g. interface or batch jobs that must run prior to execution.

Security, Integrity and Controls

To detail the security requirements for processing this object, any data integrity issues associated with the object and the teams that will be responsible for processing the object, i.e. authorization/roles required to who can execute the interface, encryption requirement, etc.

Configuration Requirements

Specify the configuration requirements for this object. Like in case of substitution/ routine specify the configuration needed

Language Requirements

Specify the language requirements for this object. Specify the required language and type of translation, like labels or data. For languages outside the core languages for SyWay, the column Regulatory is mandatory to be filled in, and details need to be provided.

Special Requirements

Specify any special requirements or considerations that may impact the enhancement based on specific locations, regulatory compliance or system limitations. Clearly outline requirements e.g. localization rules for countries like China

If the enhancement interacts with third-party systems such as Icertis, describe any additional integration, security or authentication considerations that must be taken into account.

Design Rationale

This template may be used to specify User Interfaces to SAP applications

Functional Requirements

Detail the functional requirements that are desired to be achieved by the UI 

Recommended UI Technology

Consider which technology will be most appropriate – the use of Fiori framework as User Interfaces, other than this, justification is required.

Application Screen

Wireframe or Mock-Up

Please provide a Hi fidelity mock-up of the new application’s screens. Ensure Syensqo's Brand standards are adhered to. (i.e. logo, font, colors, etc.) 

The developers should follow UI best practice to keep the screens user-friendly and consistent

 Screen Behavior

Is any dynamic screen behaviour required? This typically sets the visibility, read-only or mandatory properties of the UI elements. E.g. if field ‘a’ has a value ‘x’, then make fields ‘b’, ‘c’ and ‘d’ read-only, and make field ‘e’ mandatory. For simple input fields, does the value need to be validated? Can a value-help be assigned?

Screen Navigation

How will the user navigate between screens? Are any buttons required that trigger actions?

Data Integration

Provide the details about the information will be displayed in the interface and where /how the information will be read/stored from. This must match to the screen mock-up

Custom Tables

If any custom configuration tables are required, which will be read by the enhancement logic, then specify them here. Can be deleted if not needed.

Master data

Table Name (add more sections for different tables) 

Include an overview of the table and what it’s used for 

 Configuration table

Table Name (add more sections for different tables) 

Include an overview of the table and what it’s used for 

Processing Logic

Describe the required logic to be implemented

Tooltips

Can tooltips or input prompts be used to help and guide the user?

Front-End

Mention the environment (desktop, mobile phone, tablet) in which this User Interface will be running. This will drive the screen estate/size of the screen.

Mobile Services

Explain mobility services will be integrated in the Interface, i.e. Intune, MS Company Portal,

Authentication & Authorization

Detail authentication and authorization mechanisms, i.e. SSO/SAML, SSO/SNC.

Accessibility

Detail if the Interface will have accessibility features, i.e. Speech Recognition, Photos, Barcode Input

Volumetrics

Provide volumetrics details: Initial load volumes, Number of Records, Expected Frequency, Expected Long term Growth)

Performance Consideration

Specify if there are any specific performance factors that need to be taken into consideration during development i.e. interface must be able to handle 100 posting per-hour, etc.

Error Handling

Detail how errors will be handled: Notification, Restart/ Recovery and Re-Processing Procedures

Testing

How to Test

Please provide some guidance and/or test data to help the developer unit test the user interface. This can be included here or in a separate document. If possible, testing is to be done prior by Functional team, for those transactions or business processes to be automated. Please include both positive and negative testing (to validate error situations handling)

Test Conditions and Expected Results

List all test conditions – this will then be used as a basis to execute both the technical and functional unit tests

Test Considerations/Dependencies

List any considerations essential for application test planning (e.g., test this before ABC along with DEF separate from GHI). If the development encompasses a user interface, explain how to test it. List any insights as to how this component could be tested the most efficiently.
