Disposal Processing: Execution 

Purpose

See Disposal Processing.

• You have created or imported the required phrases in phrase management in the SAP Product Safety component for all fields that are provided for value assignment by phrases, and you have assigned these phrases to the phrase sets. For more information, see the Phrase Management section in the Product Safety documentation and Create Phrase Sets in Customizing for Waste Management.

• You have made the necessary settings in the Disposal Processing section of Customizing for Waste Management.
• You have entered data as required in the SAP components and made the required settings in Customizing for the SAP components that you want to use for the integration.
• You have entered data as required in the basic data and master data.

1. You create an entry document. In the entry document, you document which waste generator generated which waste and when, and the quantity of waste that was produced. You can also create the entry document without a waste quantity and add the waste quantity later. To make it easier for you to create entry documents, there is an entry tool available to you in disposal processing. Via a second, simpler screen you can also enter the most important entry document data quickly and easily, for example directly in the production hall (see Easy Entry).
2. You edit the entry document you created by adding the following data to it, for example:

1. You assign a waste disposer and, if required, more waste management business partners to the entry document (see Assigning Additional Waste Management Business Partners).
2. You enter more data, such as account assignment objects, which is required for integration into the other SAP components (see Assigning Account Assignment Objects).
3. If necessary, you enter the required data that documents the origin of the waste (see Entering the Waste Origin).

3. If required, you split the entry document. This means that you create two or more new entry documents from an entry document (see Entry Document Split). You can also execute this function for entry documents that have been posted or whose posting has been changed.
4. You post the waste quantity from the entry document to inventory management in the SAP Materials Management component and if required to a storage bin in Warehouse Management (see Post).
5. If required, you carry out one of the following transfer postings:

• You post the waste quantity in inventory management from one storage location to another, from one plant to another, or from one stock type to another (see Post Change).
• You transfer the waste quantity from one storage bin to another in Warehouse Management (see Storage Bin Transfer).

6. From disposal processing, you create a disposal document based on a waste approval (see Creation of a Disposal Document with a Waste Approval).

7. You clear the waste quantity from inventory management and if required from Warehouse Management too, and at the same time create a purchase order for the disposal (see Clear).

• If you have not posted the waste quantity to inventory management and just want to order the disposal, you can do so using the purchase order function.
• If required, you can cancel the material documents in inventory management that were created using the post or clear function from Waste Management (see Material Document Cancellation).

The system posts the data and creates the required documents (such as material documents) (see, for example, The Document Concept). For the entry documents from which at least one follow-on document of this type has been produced, the system creates a follow-on document record in which it automatically assigns the follow-on documents to the entry document. As a result, the processing steps are documented and dependencies are specified (see Automatic Creation of Follow-On Document Records).

In disposal processing, various display functions are available, which you can use to display entry documents, follow-on documents, and stock in order to track processing steps and check results.

• In the SAP disposal documents component, you can, for example, monitor the disposal document return.
• In the SAP reporting component, you can create reports, such as waste life-cycle analyses.
