Entering the Waste Origin 

Use

To uniquely define the origin of a waste, it is frequently important to specify, along with the waste generator, the product or batch from which the waste was produced. You can therefore specify the original material and original batch in each entry document, in other words the material or the batch from which the waste was produced, for example as a result of production errors. You can also specify the external document that was issued for the original material, for example the number of the delivery note supplied by the vendor of the original material or the number of a production document.

The data that you enter on the origin of the waste is only used for information purposes and not in functions.

For each entry document, you can display the follow-on documents, in other words the documents in the SAP System (for example, additional entry documents, material documents, and so on), that were created from the entry document. This means that you can track the whereabouts of a waste.
