Determining Data for DG Checks 

Use

After dangerous goods checks have been started in shipping or shipment documents, this function determines the data required by the R/3 System to carry out the check methods.

Prerequisites

For shipping documents

See Prerequisites in Dangerous Goods Checks in Shipping Documents.

For shipment documents

See Prerequisites in Dangerous Goods Checks in Shipment Documents.

Features

If a check schema has been set up, the R/3 System carries out the following steps:

  1. It checks in the IMG activity Activate dangerous goods checks if the DIs rel. for DG indicator is set
    2.

    If the indicator

    DIs rel. for DG

    Then

    Is set

    The system only checks materials in the sales and distribution documents to which a dangerous goods indicator profile has been allocated in the material master in Basic data 2 view, if you have set the Dangerous goods check indicator in the profile.

    This setting is useful if you usually want to check check-relevant materials only. Make this setting if you usually have sales and distribution documents with several items but few dangerous goods.

    If you want to check mixed loading prohibitions, you must not set the Dls rel. for DG indicator.

    Is not set

    All materials in the sales and distribution document are checked.

    This setting is useful if you usually want to classify all materials according to dangerous goods criteria. You can use an appropriate check method to identify the materials in the dangerous goods check that have no dangerous goods indicator profile in the material master and would cause an error to occur.

  2. The R/3 System derives the relevant countries and mode of transport categories from the document data, and uses them to select the dangerous goods master records and relevant check methods.

  3. The system determines the dangerous goods check methods to be carried out.

    4. If you have defined usage profiles in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management for check methods in the check schema to be carried out, the system then sorts through the check schema and excludes the check methods that are superfluous for the countries and mode of transport categories selected. If several usage profiles with different validity areas were created for one combination of check method and mode of transport category, the system selects the usage profile with the smallest validity area (distinction principle).

    Dangerous goods check schemas contain check methods for Germany and USA. However, as the shipment takes place in Germany only, the usage profile filters out and processes the check methods for Germany only.

  4. The selection date is determined as defined in the IMG activity Specify date for determination of DG master data and used to read the dangerous goods master records.

If an error occurs when determining data, this is retained in the check log, and the dangerous goods checks are terminated.
