Regulation Families 

Use

For organizational reasons or to reduce the amount of time making changes to classifications, it may be necessary or desirable to deviate from the classic dangerous goods classification process. For example, the business process of editing dangerous goods classifications and their assignment to real substances and materials may be organized decentrally so that different groups of persons are responsible for different jurisdictions. You can support this type of scenario by grouping regulations into families.

A list of all regulations can be found in the standard system under the Dangerous goods classification value assignment on the Transp. cl. tab page. The regulation families function allows you to use value assignments you create yourself, for example, DangerousGoods_Europe or DangerousGoods_USA to subdivide the large number of regulations.

• In Customizing for Product Safety edit the necessary IMG activities under Specification Database Structure and create your own value assignment types that you assign to new property trees for dangerous goods classifications.
• In Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management assign the corresponding value assignment type to the individual regulations in the IMG activity Specify Dangerous Goods Regulations in the Val. asst type field in the detail views.
• Create dangerous goods classifications for the individual dangerous goods regulation families.
