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.

Process flow

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.
