Starting of Dangerous Goods Checks in Sales
Documents 
This function starts the dangerous goods checks in the following sales document categories:
· Inquiry
· Quotation
· Sales order
· Scheduling agreement
· Scheduling agreement with external agent
· Contract
· Order without charge
See “Prerequisites“ in Dangerous Goods Checks in Sales Documents.
You can start dangerous goods checks in several ways:
· Automatic start
If the dangerous goods checks are activated, the system starts them automatically when you save sales documents. If you have set up a dangerous goods check schema for the current context (sales organization, sales document category, and sales document type), the system performs it.

You activate dangerous goods checks in the IMG activity Activate Dangerous Goods Checks in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management. In the IMG activity Assign DG Check Schemas for Sales Documents, you specify the context in which a check schema is to be used.
· Manual start
If dangerous goods checks are activated, you can start them manually at any time. Choose Edit ® Dangerous goods checks in the sales header at item level or schedule line level in the sales document. If you have set up a check schema, the system performs it. If no check schema has been set up, a message is displayed.
· Automatic start when creating and saving in the background
When a sales document is created and saved in the background (for example, using a BAPI or when transferring data for the first time), the system starts the dangerous goods checks automatically. If you have set up a check schema, the system performs the check in the background and transfers the check log to the sales document.
