Starting Dangerous Goods Checks in Shipment Documents 

Use

This function starts dangerous goods checks in shipping documents.

Prerequisites

See Prerequisites in Dangerous Goods Checks in Shipment Documents.

Features

You can start dangerous goods checks in shipment documents in several ways:

If dangerous goods checks are activated, the R/3 System starts dangerous goods checks automatically when you save a shipment document and it has the status Planned. If a dangerous goods check schema has been set up for the current context, the system carries it out. Dangerous goods checks are not started if a shipment document is being processed that was already in the database with status Trsp.processing. Shipment documents that have this status in the current transaction are checked.

You activate dangerous goods checks in the IMG activity Activate dangerous goods checks in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management. In the IMG activity Allocate DG check schemata for shipment documents, you specify the context in which check schemata should be used.

You can create several shipment documents during a transaction. When you save your entries, all documents are checked. As the deliveries for a shipment or the dangerous goods master data could have changed since the last check, shipment documents that were not changed are also checked.

You can only assign a new status for shipment documents if the status Planned already exists. The R/3 System thus guarantees that shipment documents always reach the status Planned, and that dangerous goods checks cannot be bypassed.

If dangerous goods checks are activated, you can start them manually at any time, regardless of document status. Choose Edit -> Dangerous goods check, in (for example):

If a check schema has been set up, the system carries it out. If no check schema has been set up, a message is displayed.

For documents with status Planned in collective processing, the dangerous goods checks are started in the same way. If a check schema has been set up, the system carries it out.
