A function point is not a screen, a report, an online, but instead an elementary business process. We often count screens, reports, and
online's so on and so forth, but these are not function points.

Benefits of Function Point Analysis
1. Improves requirements documentation
2. Improves the estimating process
3. Improves the communication of workload
4. Improves the understanding of business functions
5. Improves traceability of requirements through implementation
6. Improves the allocation of resources
