The EH&S substance database contains all data relevant for dangerous goods. This data is maintained directly for the substance in the form of legal data for a UN number and as a classification key.
Part of the data is stored in the substance database by assigning phrases from EH&S Phrase Management to a characteristic of a substance property. The logistics dangerous goods master now uses its own Customizing tables for maintaining data independently of the substance database. These tables list the valid values and can be used for checking purposes.
In carrying out this activity, you create a relationship between phrase-related characteristics in the substance database and Customizing tables. In a further step within navigation, you create an immediate relationship between a phrase, that is, its phrase key, and the key value in the Customizing table. This means that you are defining a value conversion table.
A sample entry for the aggregrate state during transport using the SAP_EHS* standard properties could be structured as follows:
Phrase conversion
Value conversion
The phrase sets for the characteristics to be converted must have been determined and the check table entries must also have been set up. Neither the phrases nor the check table texts have to be translated beforehand.
Standard settings are not supplied.
At the time this document was written, the following properties require conversion:
SAP recommends that you manually compare the entries you have made with the characteristic names and phrase keys in the substance database and with the entries in the check tables.
As both sides of the conversion relationship are entries that are defined by the user, it is not possible to provide settings. A sample entry is documented in the "Example" section.
