Dangerous Goods Classification 
Purpose
This process enables you to classify materials (
See also: Dangerous Goods Classification (Classification Key).Prerequisites
IMG Activity |
Notes |
Specify processing status |
|
Specify UN numbers and dangerous goods labels |
The R/3 System checks whether the UN number that you allocated in R/3 Substance Management as an identifier of type NUM (Number) and of category UN (UN number) is created in this IMG activity. |
Define hazard-inducing substances |
|
Define dangerous goods regulations |
|
Define dangerous goods class and dangerous goods letter |
|
Define risk potential |
You define which risk potential (combination of dangerous goods letter and packing group) may be allocated to a particular dangerous goods regulation and accompanying class. |
Specify transport categories |
You allocate valid transport categories to the respective dangerous goods regulations. |
Define hazard identification numbers |
You allocate valid hazard identification numbers to the respective dangerous goods regulations. |
Define danger labels |
You allocate valid danger labels to the respective dangerous goods regulations. |
Define packing instruction number |
You allocate valid packing instruction numbers to the respective dangerous goods regulations. |
Define packaging code |
You allocate valid packaging codes to the respective dangerous goods regulations. |
IMG Activity |
You have checked |
Check substance categories |
that the following substance categories are available: LS_UN_SUB for UN listed substances. The properties tree LS_UN_TREE (EH&S Dangerous goods regulations) is allocated to this substance category. Material allocations and referencing are not allowed. DG_CL_SUB for dangerous goods classifications. The properties tree DG_CL_TREE (EH&S Dangerous goods classification) is allocated to this substance category. Material allocations and referencing are allowed. |
Check identification categories |
that the identification category UN exists for each of the identification types NAM and NUM. |
Check identification display |
that item 1 and priority 1 are defined for identification type NUM (Number) and for identification category UN (UN number) in the identification listing D_DANGOOD. |
Set up value assignment categories |
that the following substance characteristic categories are available: SAP_EHS_1022_023 (Dangerous goods classification) of substance characteristic type F (Transport classification). This substance characteristic type enables you to allocate transport classification within substance characteristic value assignment. SAP_EHS_1022_024 (Dangerous goods regulations) of substance characteristic type G (Additional data for dangerous goods). This substance characteristic type enables you to allocate additional data for dangerous goods within substance characteristic value assignment. |
Set up properties trees |
that the properties tree DG_CL_TREE has been set up for dangerous goods classification. This properties tree must include the valuation type SAP_EHS_1022_023. that the properties tree LS_UN_TREE has been set up for dangerous goods regulations. This properties tree must include the valuation type SAP_EHS_1022_024. |
Specify ratings |
that the highest priority is allocated for the rating whose characteristic values you want to transfer into the dangerous goods master at a later stage. |

1. Creating UN Numbers and Dangerous Goods Data for a UN Listed Substance
Description |
See also: |
You create a substance of substance category LS_UN_SUB (UN listed substance). |
Creating a Substance |
You define the UN number for the substance by creating an identifier of identification type NUM and of identification category UN. The R/3 System checks whether your entries correspond with one of the UN numbers from the IMG activity Specifying UN numbers and dangerous goods descriptions. |
Editing a Substance Identifier |
You call the properties tree that contains the substance characteristic category Dangerous goods regulations. |
Using Properties Trees |
You call the substance characteristic category Dangerous goods regulations and allocate a dangerous good regulation and a dangerous goods class to the UN listed substance. The dangerous goods class is assigned in accordance with the dangerous goods regulation. You then maintain the dangerous goods data. |
Managing Dangerous Goods Data |
2. Creating Classification Keys (Substance of Substance Category Dangerous Goods Classification)
Description |
See also: |
You create a substance of substance category DG_CL_SUB (Dangerous goods classification). |
Creating a Substance |
You define an identifier for the substance, for example of identification type NAM and you enter a descriptive text such as: Classification key for varnish . |
Editing a Substance Identifier |
You call the properties tree that contains the substance characteristic category Dangerous goods classification. |
Using Properties Trees |
You call the substance characteristic category Dangerous goods classification and enter data for the transport classification. |
Creating Transport Classification |
3. Allocating Real Substances and Materials
Description |
See also: |
You call the substance (of substance category real substance) to which the material you want to classify is allocated. |
Searching for Substances |
You check and maintain the allocation of materials in material allocation |
Allocating Materials |
You enter the classification key as a reference substance in the substance header of the real substance. In this way, you classify the material that is allocated to the real substance.
If you allocate the material directly to the classification key, this allocation then has the higher priority. An environmentally relevant material must be allocated to a real substance that requires a material safety data sheet if automatic material safety data sheet shipment is to be set up. |
Editing the Substance Header |

To enable the transfer of dangerous goods data from the R/3 substance database to the dangerous goods master, the allocation of the material to the classification key must be unique. Data is not transferred if you allocate two classification keys to a material via two different real substances.
