**Kind:** template

**Output:** document

**Fields:**

#### Spec ID

**Key:** spec_id

**Type:** text

**Default:** SD-ENH-014

#### Enhancement title

**Key:** title

**Type:** text

**Default:** Default delivery block on first order for new customers

#### Functional consultant

**Key:** author

**Type:** text

**Default:** A. Consultant

#### Assigned developer

**Key:** developer

**Type:** text

**Default:** B. Developer

#### Date

**Key:** date

**Type:** date

**Default:** 2026-10-20

#### SD process step

**Key:** process

**Type:** select

- Output determination
- Credit management

**Default:** Sales order creation

#### Business requirement

**Key:** requirement

**Type:** textarea

**Default:** When a sales order is saved for a customer with no previous billing documents, the header delivery block must be set to 01 so that credit control can review the first order before shipment.

#### Enhancement point

**Key:** trigger

**Type:** text

**Default:** BAdI or user exit on sales document save (for example USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE in MV45AFZZ)

#### Processing logic

**Key:** logic

**Type:** textarea

**Default:** 1. Read sold-to from VBAK-KUNNR.
2. Check for any billing document for this sold-to in VBRK.
3. If none exists and order type is OR, set header delivery block.
4. Write a message to the application log.

#### Tables and fields touched

**Key:** tables

**Type:** textarea

**Default:** VBAK (KUNNR, AUART, LIFSK), VBRK (KUNAG), TVLS (block reasons)

#### Error handling

**Key:** error

**Type:** textarea

**Default:** If the check fails technically, do not block the order. Log the error and let the order save normally.

**Blocks:**

**Notes:** A working starting point. Adapt headings to your project methodology and keep the spec free of code so the developer owns the technical design.

## Content

**Intro:** A good SD functional specification stops a developer from guessing. This template gives the sections that matter for a sales and distribution enhancement: requirement, trigger point, logic, data objects, error handling and test cases.

**Sections:**

#### How to use the template

**Body:** Fill in the fields on the left and the document builds on the right. Start with the business requirement written as one observable behaviour, then name the enhancement point. Keep logic as numbered steps in plain language and let the ABAP developer choose the technical implementation. Export to PDF or Word, attach it to the change request and replace the example test cases with your own scenarios before sending it to the developer.

**Bullets:**

- Write one requirement per spec
- Name tables and fields, not screens
- State what happens when the check fails
- List at least one negative test case

#### Choosing the enhancement point

**Body:** In SD you will usually pick between a user exit include in MV45AFZZ, a BAdI such as BADI_SD_SALES, a pricing routine maintained in VOFM, or a copy control routine. Prefer BAdIs and configuration over modification. If the requirement can be met with a requirement routine, a condition type, an output condition or a user parameter, say so in the spec before asking for custom code.

#### What a developer needs from you

**Body:** Developers repeatedly ask the same questions: which document types, which sales areas, which plants, create or change mode, and what happens in mass processing such as batch input or IDoc inbound. Put those answers in the logic section. Also state the data volume and whether the logic runs on every save, because a database read on VBRK without a proper key can slow order entry on busy systems.

#### Common mistakes

**Body:** The usual faults are mixing several requirements in one spec, leaving error handling blank, forgetting that VA02 changes also trigger the exit, and not testing interfaces such as EDI orders that bypass the screen. Another is specifying a hard-coded customer or plant list instead of a configurable table, which forces a transport for every change in the business.

**Cta:** If your team writes many specs like this, Netray can help draft first versions from your existing ERP documentation and configuration, with your consultants reviewing every line.

**Faq:**

#### Does this template replace my project's own format?

**Answer:** No. If your programme mandates a format, copy the content across. The sections here cover what developers need for an SD enhancement, so it also works as a checklist to confirm your own format is complete.

#### Should the spec include ABAP code?

**Answer:** Generally not. The functional consultant describes behaviour, inputs and expected results. The developer writes the technical design. Short pseudo logic is fine, but code in a functional spec is hard to review and tends to go stale quickly.

#### Which SD enhancement points are most common?

**Answer:** User exits in MV45AFZZ and RV60AFZZ, pricing and requirement routines in VOFM, copy control routines, output routines, and BAdIs for sales document processing. The right choice depends on whether the logic needs order, item or schedule line context.

#### How many test cases should be listed?

**Answer:** At least one positive, one negative and one change-mode case per rule, plus an interface case if orders arrive by EDI or API. Four to eight cases suit most small SD enhancements.
