Example of Maintaining Substance Data
Maintaining Substance Data
For the substance 2-Propanone
, you want to enter the necessary substance data in the system. To do this, you first create a specification of the specification category Substance
. You either define the specification key yourself (for example, LM_01
) or let the SAP system assign a key.
As the substance is handled in the company and data must be accessible for everyone, assign the specification type Real Substance
and the authorization group ALL
to the specification.
Then characterize the substance by entering the following identifiers for the specification:
Trade name:
Aceton
Structural formula:
CH3COCH3
CAS number:
67-64-1
In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools
, the setting is made to allow materials to be assigned to real substances. The material with the key 500000 (acetone r.g. in 2-liter bottles) is assigned to the specification of the substance 2 Propanone
correspondingly.
In value assignment, you enter data for the following value assignment types, for example:
In the
Physical-chemical properties
group:Boiling point
: 56℃Melting point
: -95℃
In the
Regulations without transport
group:Labeling
: Highly flammableMSDS requirement
: MSDS shipping required
(See Automatic Report Shipping)
As the data is to be accessible for everyone and valid for the whole world, the following usage is assigned to the identifiers and all four value assignment types:
Rating
PUBLIC
(Released w/o restrictions)As the values are to be printed on a report, the active indicator is set for each rating.
Validity area
REG_WORLD
(World)
Note
The report generation variant links the usage with a report template that you defined in report definition
in Basic Data and Tools
.
When a report is generated (such as a material safety data sheet, for example), only the symbols on the report template are expanded that are released for the recipient and for which the active indicator has been set.
