Dangerous Goods Checks (SAP Library - Dangerous Goods Management (EHS-DGP))

Dangerous Goods Checks

Purpose

You can use this component to check SD documents according to dangerous goods regulations. This component is integrated in the creation process for shipping and shipment documents.

Dangerous goods checks facilitate your implementation of dangerous goods regulations and accelerate the creation of SD documents, as dangerous goods checks can be carried out automatically or on request when creating and processing SD documents. You make settings in Customizing to specify when which checks are to be carried out and how documents are to be processed further to suit your own requirements. In this way, you can ensure that all deliveries and shipments are checked to make sure they are correct from a dangerous goods point of view before they leave your company.

Each dangerous goods check is realized as a user exit, and you can enhance it as required.

Standard Customizing delivered with the system acts as a sample setting.

Implementation considerations

To use this component, you must install the following R/3 components:

Materials Management (MM)
Dangerous Goods Master (LO-EHS-DGP-MM)
Sales and Distribution (SD)

Integration

Dangerous goods checks can determine indicators that can be used for the R/3 component Dangerous Goods Papers, to output texts on transport papers or using EDI.

Features

Configuring dangerous goods checks to suit your own requirements

In Dangerous Goods Customizing, you can make settings as required to specify:

If the R/3 System is to carry out dangerous goods checks

Dangerous goods checks are not activated as standard.

The context in which a particular dangerous goods check schema is to be used

In the standard system, you allocate a dangerous goods check schema for each SD document category and SD document type, according to the sales organization or transportation planning point. You define dangerous goods check schemata by combining dangerous goods check methods to form a schema.

How the document may be processed further.

In a dangerous goods check schema, you can set up the reaction to suit your own requirements for each allocated check method.

As each dangerous goods check method is realized as a user exit, you can program your own function modules analog to the function modules delivered in the standard system (= dangerous goods check methods) and allocate them to a dangerous goods check schema in Customizing.

Different ways of starting dangerous goods checks

If dangerous goods checks are activated, they are started automatically when you save SD documents. Checks can be started in this way when creating and processing SD documents online as well as creating them in collective processing.

After they have been activated, an additional pushbutton Dangerous goods check appears on the interface for SD documents. You can use this button to start dangerous goods checks as required, to check an intermediate stage in the document, for example.

Check log

The results of dangerous goods checks (positive and negative) are recorded in a log that you can consult immediately.
