Secondary Data Determination 

Use

In secondary data determination, you can carry out the following activities:

·        Derivation of data (secondary data) from existing data

The existing R and S phrases of the specifications for individual ingredients are transferred via a defined interface to an external system in which the R and S phrases for compositions that contain the specifications of these ingredients are determined. The derived secondary data is then transferred back to the SAP system.

·        Checking the derived data

An import enables data in the SAP Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) component to be updated. If this data was used to determine secondary data, you can check this secondary data and derive it again if necessary.

Features

·        User-defined enhancements with user exits

Secondary data is derived from and checked in function modules that are integrated in user exit management in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools. You can also develop your own user exits.

In general, secondary data can be derived and checked in the SAP system or in an external system.

·        EH&S Expert

Using the EH&S Expert supplementary application, you can define sets of rules and use these sets to derive secondary data for data from specification management. You can then use this data, for example, to determine and check the notification status of specifications.
