Description

In release 2.2B, you can record data for dangerous goods regulations and for dangerous goods classification in substance management.

You will find further information about dangerous goods classification in the standard system in the documentation for the R/3 component Dangerous Goods Management in the section Dangerous Goods Basic Data.

Change system parameters in customizing

To classify materials in a structured way, the following system parameters have been implemented into Customizing for Substance Management:

• In the IMG activity

• Specify substance categories , substance categories UN listed substance and Dangerous goods classification

• In the IMG activity

• Set up properties trees , the properties trees EH&S Dangerous goods regulations and EH&S Dangerous goods classifications

• In the IMG activity

• Check identification listing , the identification listing D_DANGOOD

• In the IMG activity

• Specify substance characteristic categories, the substance characteristic category Dangerous goods regulations of the substance characteristic type Additional data for dangerous goods, and the substance characteristic category Dangerous goods classification of the substance characteristic type Transport classification.

The following substance characteristic categories for dangerous goods management have now been included in the standard properties tree:

• SAP_EHS_1013_038: Medium expansion coefficient

• SAP_EHS_1022_023: Dangerous goods classification

• SAP_EHS_1022_030: Not a DG - full/empty transport

• SAP_EHS_1022_031: Hazard inducer

• SAP_EHS_1022_024: Dangerous goods regulations

• SAP_EHS_1022_025: Agreement of authorities

• SAP_EHS_1022_026: Hazard notes

• SAP_EHS_1022_027: Control temperature

• SAP_EHS_1022_028: Emergency temperature

• SAP_EHS_1022_029: Additional data for transport

• SAP_EHS_1023_023: Reportable quantities

• SAP_EHS_1023_024: Poisonous by inhalation

• In the IMG activity Specify ratings , the Prio DG field (priority for dangerous goods) has been included

You can use the IMG activity

Develop enhancement for checking risk potential to realize your own program for checking the risk potential.

Dependent functions

You can import and export data for dangerous goods management into the R/3 System. You will find more information about the relevant table fields and procedures in the documentation for the R/3 component Product Safety (Environment Data) in the section Import and Export.

You can use the filling function in the R/3 standard 4.5A release to transfer the dangerous goods data that you create for dangerous goods classification to Dangerous Goods Management . You will find further information about filling in the R/3 standard system in the documentation for the R/3 component Dangerous Goods Management in the section Dangerous Goods Interfaces.

To ouput dangerous goods data that is managed in UN listed substances on reports, an edit method has been developed for the symbol that represents the regulation characteristic. You will find further information in the documentation for the R/3 component Product Safety (Environment Data) in section Repeating Groups .

Further notes

All constants for characteristics and classes are defined in include code CBUI21 of development class CBUI. These characteristics and classes are fixed in the program and must not be changed. If you use other classes and characteristics or your own, the dangerous goods functions cannot be used.

You can display the contents of the include code CBUI21 as follows:

1. In the R/3 main menu, choose Tools -> ABAP Workbench and then Development -> ABAP Editor.

2. In the Program field, enter the key CBUI21.

3. Mark the Source code field, and choose Display.

The coding of include program CBUI21 is displayed in which all constants are listed.
