Component documentationGlobal Label Management (EHS-SAF-GLM)

 

The SAP component Global Label Management (EHS-SAF-GLM) provides support for both simple and complex labeling processes and can be integrated in your company's standard business processes: The labels are created from the business processes, for example, whenever a certain status in the business process is reached. Global Label Management supports the employees responsible for the business process even in the planning phase for label creation, during the actual creation phase itself, while managing the labels, and when printing them.

In addition, you use Global Label Management to enter all of the requirements for your labels and the data that is used to determine and generate them. You can then print the labels on a printer connected to the user's PC or by using print requests.

Example Example

Companies are faced with many national and international rules and regulations alongside customer-specific guidelines, which means that identification and labeling processes are becoming more and more complex. As a result, labels within a company are used in different locations and in different forms and formats, such as to identify products, in shipping, or for marketing purposes. Labels can also contain warnings and safety information.

End of the example.

Integration

Global Label Management uses functions from the following SAP components:

  • Product Safety (EHS-SAF): Specification management forms the basis for this. Specifications that contain at least header data (Specification Header tab page in the specification workbench) are required for label generation. The labels for Global Label Management are created, generated, and managed in report management and the report information system. Hazard statements and hazard symbols (such as GHS hazard pictograms) can be output on labels. To enable this, you must define the corresponding data in the specification master.

  • Basic Data and Tools (EHS-BD): Labels are created using report templates. Additional WWI generation servers (generation PCs) are required for label generation (report body generation).

  • Dangerous Goods Management (EHS-DGP): Dangerous goods master data can be output on labels. This means that dangerous goods labels are determined using dangerous goods regulations.

  • Material Master (LO-MD_MM): During label determination, Global Label Management first checks the label data stored in the material master. You must create the Label Data view in the material master.

You also require the following SAP components to use all of the functions and labeling scenarios in Global Label Management:
