Disposal Channel

Definition

Combination of waste generation and waste disposal , the waste generation and waste disposal having to contain the same waste .

Use

In a disposal channel, you specify that a waste disposer can dispose of a particular waste that has been generated by a particular waste generator.

Integration

The data in disposal channels is automatically transferred to some places in Waste Management and used for checks:

  • If you assign a waste disposer to an entry document in the SAP disposal processing component and choose the input help (Hierarchical) Search for Disposers from Disposal Channels , the system proposes only the waste disposers from the disposal channels that contain the waste generator and waste from the entry document . If no such disposal channel exists, the system proposes the waste disposers from the disposal channels for the higher-level waste generators, provided that these disposal channels contain the waste from the entry document (see Higher-Level Waste Management Business Partner ).

    Note Note

    You can display the disposal channels for the higher-level waste generators or waste disposers from the screen on which you edit the data for the disposal channels for a waste generator or waste disposer (see Editing Disposal Channels ).

    End of the note.

  • The system automatically uses a purchasing document of category K ( contract ), which you entered for a disposal channel, under certain conditions when you create a purchase order from the SAP disposal processing component (see Determination of a Valid Contract from the Master Data ).

  • In Customizing for Waste Management, you can specify that a warning is displayed if you assign a disposal document a combination of a waste, waste generator, and waste disposer for which no disposal channel has been created.
