Understanding Business Function Documentation

Business function documentation explains what individual business functions do and how they should be used. The documentation for a business function should include this type of information:

• Purpose.

• Parameters (the data structure used).

• Descriptions for each parameter that indicate required input and output, and explain return values.

• Related tables (the table accessed).

• Related business functions (business functions called from within the function itself).

• Special handling instructions.

You use Business Function Design and Data Structure Design to document the business functions.
