EDI Processing for Dangerous Goods Management (SAP Library - Dangerous Goods Management (EHS-DGP))

EDI Processing for Dangerous Goods Management

Purpose

You can send dangerous goods data for a delivery or a shipment in electronic form to a partner (forwarding agents or ship-to parties).

Prerequisites

Customizing for Sales and Distribution: Routes

For EDI processing, all combinations of countries and mode of transport categories must come from shipping documents for which dangerous goods data are to be determined.

Deliveries

See: Determination of Data in Shipping Documents

Maintain the appropriate routes under Basic Functions ® Routes ® Define routes ® Define routes and stages.

According to your requirements, you can define routes with stages in Customizing for Sales and Distribution, or maintain the IMG activity Define transit countries in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management. You can also maintain route stages in outline, and define the required transit countries in the IMG activity Define transit countries.

Shipments

See: Determination of Data in Shipment Documents

Maintain the appropriate routes under Basic Functions ® Routes ® Define routes ® Define routes and stages.

In shipment documents, the countries are derived from the nodes of the shipping stages of type Leg. You need only maintain routes if you have defined shipment types for which route stages are transferred to shipment stages.

(You specify shipment types in R/3 Customizing IMG under Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipments ® Maintain shipment types.)

Please ensure that addresses (particularly country and region) are maintained for all shipment stages nodes, and that a shipping type has been entered for each shipment stage.

If you flag the Consider transit country table indicator in the route header, the countries maintained in the IMG activity Define transit countries in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management are also taken into account.

Customizing for Sales and Distribution: Output Determination

Set up output determination in Sales and Distribution under Sales and Distribution ® Basic Functions ® Output Control ® Output Determination ® Output Determination Using the Condition Technique.

Check the following IMG activities:

Deliveries In the section Maintain Output Determination for Deliveries ®

Maintain output types:

In the standard system, EDI processing from the delivery uses the output type LAVA with the following data:

Transmission medium 6 (EDI)
Program RSNASTED, FORM routine EDI_PROCESSING

Maintain output determination procedures:

The output type LAVA is allocated to a determination procedure.

Shipments: In the section Maintain Output Determination for Shipments ®

Maintain output types:

EDI shipping from shipments uses the output type SEDI with the following data:

Transmission medium 6 (EDI)
Program RSNASTED, FORM routine EDI_PROCESSING

Maintain output determination procedures:

The output type SEDI is allocated to a determination procedure.

Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management

You have processed the section Dangerous Goods Papers.

If you do not implement dangerous goods checks, but want to use dangerous goods papers or EDI, you must carry out the following activities in the section Dangerous Goods Checks in order to determine and update the selection date:

Activate dangerous goods checks
Allocate DG check schema determination routines
Allocate check schema without check methods

R/3 component Material Master

You have

Created materials for which dangerous goods data are to be sent, and maintained basic data and sales and distribution data
Allocated these materials view a dangerous goods indicator profile to control the output or transfer of dangerous goods data in the Basic data 2

You maintain the required dangerous goods indicator profile in the IMG activity Define indicator profiles for the material master in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management.

Shipments documents are created with reference to delivery documents.

When you create a delivery document, the dangerous goods indicator profile is transferred from the material master to the shipping document item, and stored there. Changes made to the profile in the material master are not made in the delivery document and shipment document automatically.

R/3 component Dangerous Goods Management

You have maintained dangerous goods master records for the materials. EDI processing only use dangerous goods master records

For which a processing status has been set for which the Release status indicator has been set in the IMG activity Specify processing status in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management.
For which the deletion indicator has not been set
