Purpose

With this SAP component, you can create, print, and manage various disposal documents , such as German waste manifests or US hazardous waste manifests.

Integration

The functions of the SAP Product Safety component are used for printing disposal documents.

If you use Waste Management together with the SAP Waste Disposal Industry component of the SAP for Utilities Industry Business Solution and execute certain functions there, the required disposal documents are created and printed automatically in Waste Management , and the waste quantities are updated automatically in waste approvals. For more information, see the Waste Disposal Industry documentation.

Features

When you create disposal documents, various checks ensure that only permitted data is entered; certain data is taken directly from the Waste Management basic data and master data . In Customizing for Waste Management , you can specify for each disposal document type separately which checks are to be carried out.

On the screens for displaying and editing disposal documents, the system displays all the disposal documents in an overview tree, separated according to disposal document type. For each disposal document type, disposal documents with the same status are displayed in the lower-level nodes. This arrangement makes it easier for you to edit data, since disposal documents for which the same editing steps must be carried out are combined in a worklist.

In Customizing for Waste Management , you can specify the tab pages, screen areas, and fields that are available on the screens for displaying and editing disposal documents . In addition, you can specify the ready-for-input status of individual fields, for example depending on the status of a disposal document. This means that you can ensure, for example, that certain data is no longer changed after a disposal document has been printed. You can therefore also use the SAP disposal documents component to record information about disposal documents.

Furthermore, there is a print preview function available as well as functions with which you can detect quantity variances and monitor the disposal document return leg that is stipulated by certain laws and regulations.
