Shipping: Sending the material safety data sheet from the delivery

Description

As of Release 3.0E, it is possible to send a material safety data sheet for a delivery of environmentally-relevant material.

To do this, you use the output control with a new output type SDB (Safety Data Sheet).

The recipient of the safety data sheet is determined from the new partner function SR (Safety Data Sheet Receiver) as the output recipient.

Process

An output for requesting a safety data sheet is created if an output of the output type SDB is found in the output determination procedure when you create a delivery. In addition

When the output is processed by program RSNAST00 during the next selection run (or immediately when posting the delivery, which is not yet possible in 3.0E), SD delivery data is analyzed and passed on to the document management system in EH&S (Environment, Health and Safety). For further information on the document management system, see the online documentation (Help --> R/3 library --> Cross Application --> Document Management Guide).

If data which is recognized as absolutely necessary before the transfer of data to EH&S is not maintained, an error log is created which is managed in SD. In this case, an SDB request is not passed on to EH&S. Incorrect data in EH&S is processed by the available error handling as well.

Evaluating SD data

To determine the output recipient in output control, the customer whose partner function is entered in the condition record of the output determination is chosen from the delivery partners. Maintain the customer master record of the recipient for the output.
All partners of this customer with partner function "SR" are read from the customer master. They are the recipients of the safety data sheets (SDB recipients). There must be at least one SDB recipient.
The system reads the address data for every SDB recipient. You must maintain this as well. If you have maintained contact persons for SDB recipients, then these are also read.
The jurisdiction for which the safety data sheet is valid is determined from the output recipient. The system uses the country and geographical region of the recipient's address to specify the jurisdiction.
To determine the validity date, the system reads every date relevant to delivery and and interprets it through EH&S.
The sales organization which creates the delivery is used as the sender of the safety data sheet and must be maintained. You can maintain a contact person for the safety data sheets individually in the text for the sales organization with text type "SDMS".
The delivery type, document number and item number are read from the delivery document. The product short text for the material number is read from the material master. Maintain this data.

Change system parameters in customizing

Material master

Set the environmental indicator in the material master for the delivered material(View: Basic data 2).

Output

Maintaining output in IMG:

Sales and Distribution --> Basic functions --> Output --> Output determination --> Output proposal using the condition technique --> Maintain output determination for deliveries

The following settings must be made specially for the safety data sheet:

The output type SDB is maintained for condition access in client 000 and you can copy it from there.
As a proposal for the condition record, we recommend:
Further information on this can be found in the Implementation Guide in the section "Maintain output types".
Condition tables and access sequences only need to be maintained if the existing options of the condition technique are insufficient. For
further information, see the Implementation Guide section "Maintain access sequences".
The output type SDB must be maintained on item level in an output determination procedure. Requirement 24 is provided to check for environmental relevance.
Further information on this can be found in the Implementation Guide in the section "Maintain output determination procedure" .
The output determination procedure that is used must be assigned to the delivery item category.
Further information on this can be found in the Implementation Guide in the section "Assign output determination procedure" .

Partner

Maintaining partner determination in the IMG:

R/3 --> Sales and Distribution --> Basic functions --> Partner determination --> Define and assign partner determination procedures.

The partner object customer master record is relevant.

The partner function SR has been set up and can be copied from client 000.
The partner determination procedure WESR has been set up and can be copied from client 000.
The partner function SR is a mandatory function in the partner determination procedure WESR.
The partner determination procedure WESR can be assigned to the account group for the ship-to party.

Further information on this can be found in the Implementation Guide in the section "Define and assign partner determination procedures".
