Maintaining Substance Data: An Example
To create the substance 2 Propanone manually, you must either define a substance key (LM_01 for example) yourself, or let the R/3 System assign a key.
As the substance is handled in companies and data must be accessible to all, assign substance category real substance, and substance authorization group ALL to the substance.
Use the following identifiers to characterize the substance:
In Product Safety Customizing, the setting is made to allow materials to be allocated to real substances. The material with the key 500000 (Acetone p.a. in 2 liter bottles) is allocated to the substance 2 Propanone correspondingly.
In characteristic value assignment, you maintain substance characteristic categories, for example:
As the data is to be accessible to all and valid for the whole world, the following use is allocated to all four substance characteristic categories:
As the values are to be issued on a substance report, an active indicator is set for each rating.
The substance report generation variant links the use with a substance report template that you defined in Product Safety reporting.
If a report is generated (such as a material safety data sheet, for example) only the symbols on the substance report template are expanded that are released for the recipient and for which the active indicator has been set.
