Template and One-Time Material Processing (EHS-DGP-TP) 

Purpose

In a company it is possible that substances exist that need to be shipped once only, for example, substances in research and development that have to undergo a material check by an external body.

For this type of substance it is a disproportionately lengthy procedure to enter all the details from scratch that the system requires for the dangerous goods check and dangerous goods documents: To do this you would have to create a material in the material master, classify the specification for the substance in the dangerous goods basic data, and create the required dangerous goods master records in the dangerous goods master.

Template and one-time material processing gives you the option of using templates that you set up to suit your own individual needs and in which you only need to add the information that varies in each case. You enter the information that is still required when you create or edit the respective documents.

Implementation Considerations

To use template and one-time material processing, you must have:

·        Activated template and one-time material processing in the IMG activity Activate Dangerous Goods Checks

·        Created materials in the material master and set them as relevant for template materials or relevant for one-time materials in the dangerous goods indicator profile in the Basic Data 2 view

·        Assigned the relevant for template materials or relevant for one-time materials property to the indicator profiles in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management in the IMG activity Specify Indicator Profiles for the Material Master

·        Edited the IMG activities under the Template and One-Time Material Processing node in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management
