Manual Report Shipping (SAP Library - Product Safety (EHS-SAF))

Manual Report Shipping

Use

You can use this function to create report shipping orders manually for released reports. The report is created in the report information system in which only released reports are displayed.

Whether a report is available for material safety data sheet shipping then only depends on the report type that the generation variant assigns to the report.

In the standard system, the report type Material safety data sheet is required for shipping. This report type must be assigned to the business process Material safety data sheet shipping in the IMG activity Specify report types and this business process must be assigned to the shipping reason Manual shipping in the IMG activity Check shipping reasons.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Product Safety, you have made settings in the Report Shipping section.

Released reports of the report type Material safety data sheet exist (see: Releasing Reports).

You have installed the current EH&S version of Windows Wordprocessor Integration (WWI) and made settings in the Report Generation section of Customizing for Product Safety.

Features

You must send every report for a material. If a material is not assigned to the report via the material-substance assignment, you can set any default material.

You can choose any of the following as the recipient:

Customer (business partner, customer, company)
Office user of the R/3 System
Report recipient

The R/3 System allows you either to process the shipping order in the background or to start shipping immediately. For the background processing type, you can use settings in Customizing to control whether these report shipping orders must first be accepted manually by the person responsible. With immediate processing, the report shipping orders are immediately passed on for further processing.

You can decide directly when starting shipping whether you want to set the subsequent shipping indicator.

As the default, manually created report shipping orders are recorded in the first step of the check, but not checked. If you want to, you can specify that manually created report shipping orders should also be checked (see: Checking Report Shipping Orders).
