End of the caution.

Prerequisites

You have created the waste catalogs to which you want to assign the waste codes.

Procedure

  1. In the Waste Management menu , choose Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Waste Workbench. End of the navigation path

  2. In the navigation area of the waste workbench, choose Waste Code by double-clicking it .

    The Edit Specification: Initial Screen appears. The specification category Waste Code is preset.

Creating Waste Codes

  1. Choose with the quick info text Create .

    The Create Specification: Header screen appears.

  2. Enter data as required on the Specification Header tab page. Enter WASTECODE (waste code) as the specification type .

  3. Choose the Identifiers tab page and enter the following data:

    Identification Category

    Identification Type

    Language

    Sort Sequence

    Identifier

    NAM

    WASTECOCAT (waste catalog)

    <Language key>

    1

    <Phrase code of the phrase in the waste catalog>

    NUM

    WASTECODE (waste code)

    2

    <Number of the waste code>

    NAM

    WASTECODES (Waste code description)

    <Language key>

    3

    <Description of the waste code>

    Note Note

    By specifying an identifier of the identification type WASTECOCAT (waste catalog), you assign the waste code to the corresponding waste catalog. The text (for example, EWC ) that you enter for the waste catalog under Identifier must correspond to a phrase code of a phrase belonging to the phrase set that you specified for the environment parameter WAM_PHRSET_WACATLG under Specify Environment Parameters in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools .

    Always enter the identifier of the identification type WASTECOCAT (waste catalog) first before you enter the identifier of the identification type WASTECODE (waste code). Only then can the system automatically check (check function C124_WASTECODE) whether the waste code for the waste catalog has already been created.

    End of the note.

  4. Enter other identifiers and additional data on the other tab pages if required.

  5. In the detail area of the waste workbench, choose the value assignment type if required by double-clicking the one for which you want to enter data, and enter this data.

    Note Note

    The value assignment type Waste Code Properties is supplied with the standard system. You can specify the hazardousness that applies to wastes of the waste code in this value assignment type. This is transferred automatically, for example, when you assign the waste code to a waste approval.

    End of the note.
