Integration of Safety Measures in Other SAP Components

Purpose

This process allows you to transfer technical industrial hygiene and safety measuresto other SAP components as tasks and read them back to Industrial Hygiene and Safety when they are completed. This process is explained here using the Plant Maintenance (PM) component as an example.

Prerequisites

  • In the standard system this process is intended only for safety measures of the category technical . By making appropriate settings in Customizing you can also use it for additional or other safety measure categories. You make the necessary settings in Customizing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety under Specify Safety Measure Categories .

  • In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools under Specify Environment Parameters you must have assigned the notification type you use for maintenance notifications from Industrial Hygiene and Safety to the environment parameter IHS_NOTIFICATION_TYPE. See also Configure Maintenance Processing and Service Processing Customizing in Customizing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety .

  • You must have scheduled the return report program REHS_GET_ACTIONS_FROM_PM. We recommend that you schedule the report program once daily to run directly or as a background job. For more information, see the documentation for the report.

Detailed Steps

  1. You create one or more safety measures of the safety measure category technical .

    You can only transfer safety measures to Plant Maintenance that do not have the status Task Completed (TSCO).

  2. Select the safety measures you want to transfer and create a maintenance notification using with the quick info text Create Notific.

    Note Note

    If the work area to which the safety measures relate contains a functional locationor equipmentas an integration object, you can specify these as reference objects for the notification.

    If a functional location is specified, the plant maintenance system is determined using the Functional Location Plant field.

    End of the note.

    The system switches the status of the safety measures to In Process Outside EH&S (IPEX).

    For every safety measure transferred, the pushbutton with the quick info text Notif . also appears in the list of safety measures: you can use it to display the notification together with the safety measures.

  3. Plant Maintenance processes the notification you created.

    Caution Caution

    As long as tasks (safety measures) are being processed by Plant Maintenance , they cannot be changed in Industrial Hygiene and Safety .

    End of the caution.

  4. When all tasks in the notification are completed and the report program REHS_GET_ACTIONS_FROM_PM is executed, the notification is read back to Industrial Hygiene and Safety . The original data for the safety measures is then updated.

    Note Note

    End of the note.

Even if a task was deleted by Plant Maintenance , this is taken into account when the tasks are read back. The safety measure is not deleted in Industrial Hygiene and Safety but is assigned the status Deleted Outside EH&S (DLEX). If the whole maintenance notification deleted in Plant Maintenance , the status DLEX is also set. For more information, see the documentation for REHS_GET_ACTIONS_FROM_PM and Status Editing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety Measures .

  1. When you have read the notification back to Industrial Hygiene and Safety , you will find an e-mail in your SAPoffice inbox that tells you which safety measures were returned.

  2. Check the effectiveness of the safety measures. To do this you can edit the following fields for each safety measure using with the quick info text Addit. Information :

    • Execution (date, time)

    • Checks (date, time)

    • Effectiveness

    • Administrator
