The phrase "a prerequisite for functional" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing something that is necessary or required for something to be functional or operational.
Example: "Understanding the basic principles of programming is a prerequisite for functional software development."
Alternatives: "a requirement for functional" or "an essential for functional".
