Definition

This groups incident/accident log entries with common characteristics into entry types, for example, event involving several persons or event with no persons injured.

You can specify which types of incident/accident log entries you want to distinguish between in Customizing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety under Specify Incident/Accident Log Entry Types .

Use

When you create an entry in the incident/accident log, you must assign a type to it.

The incident/accident log entry type is subject to the authorization check for editing incident/accident log entries. This controls the incident/accident log entries that an employee can display or edit.

Integration

You can store a check function by means of a user exitfor an incident/accident log entry type, which compares the number of persons affectedwith the incident/accident log entry type and outputs a warning if it finds inconsistencies. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Basic Data and Tools under Manage User Exits .
