Example: Editing Substance Data

To create the substance 2-Propanone, you must enter the necessary substance data in the system. To do this, you first create a specification of the specification category Substance. You either define the specification key yourself (for example, LM_01) or let the SAP System assign a key.

As the substance is handled in companies and data must be accessible to all, assign the specification type Real substance and the authorization group ALL to the specification.

Then characterize the substance by entering the following identifiers for the specification:

Trade name: Acetone

Structural formula: CH3COCH3

CAS number: 67-64-1

In Customizing for Product Safety, the setting is made to allow materials to be assigned to real substances. The material with the key 500000 (acetone p.a. in 2 liter bottles) is assigned to the specification of the substance 2 Propanone correspondingly.

In value assignment you enter data for the following value assignment types, for example:

In Physical-chemical properties:

Boiling point: 56°C

Melting point: -95°C

In Regulations without transport:

Labeling: Highly flammable

MSDS requirement: MSDS shipping required

(See also: Automatic Report Shipping)

As the data is to be accessible to all and valid for the whole world, the following usage is assigned to the identifiers and all four value assignment types:

Rating: PUBLIC (Released w/o restrictions)

As the values are to be output on a report, an active indicator is set for each rating.

Validity area: REG_WORLD (World)

Note

The report generation variant links the usage with a report template that you defined in report generation in Product Safety.

When a report is generated (such as a material safety data sheet, for example), only the symbols on the report template are expanded that are released for the recipient and for which the active indicator has been set.
