Checking the Notification Status

Prerequisites

You have specified the environment parameters for user exit category SUB_SEDACH with the user exit name REGSTATCHK in the IMG activity Manage User Exits in Customizing for Product Safety. Here, you define the value assignment type and characteristics that:

Are used as the source for determining the notification status
You want to use as the target into which to transfer the values determined

In the source and target value assignment type, the value assignment type Notification status, contains the source and target characteristics: The SAP System derives the target characteristics List notification and Component notification for the overall composition from the source characteristic Notification for the individual components.

For more information on the environment parameters, see the documentation for the IMG activity Manage User Exits.

You have created a phrase set that contains the values of the notification status as phrases and specifies the sequence of the phrases (see, for example, Notification Status Values).

In phrase set-attribute assignment, you have assigned the phrase set that contains the phrases relevant to the notification status to the relevant characteristics:

List notification (target characteristic)
Component notification (target characteristic)
Notification (source characteristic)

You have made sure that the source characteristic Notification is maintained in value assignment type Notification status for the specifications for the individual components of the substance for which you want to determine the notification status. In addition, you have made sure that the relevant list is entered for characteristic Regulatory list. In usage, you have recorded the rating and validity area in the value assignment usage and set the active indicator.

You have recorded the different compositions in the value assignment type that is defined as environment parameter VALCAT_COMPONENTS in the IMG activity Manage User Exits in Customizing for Product Safety. In Use, you have maintained the rating and validity area in the value assignment usage and set the active indicator.

You have defined the regulatory list in the IMG activity Specify Regulatory Lists in Customizing for Product Safety.(See also Managing Regulatory Lists).

You have read authorization for values assigned to the composition and write authorization for the target value assignment type.

Procedure

After a specification search, select all specifications for which you want to check the notification status in the hit list.

Choose Utilities ® Secondary data ® Check and choose the user exit REGSTAT (Notification status).

Enter the regulatory list to be used as the regulatory list for determining the status, and specify the usage (see also Editing Usages).

In the value assignment type Notification status, the individual components for the selected specification must have a data record for which the same regulatory list is entered and that corresponds to this usage.

The SAP System always uses the first corresponding data record.

Note

The usage is to be selected so that the SAP System finds exactly one composition and notification status per substance.

Choose .

The background job Check notification status is started.

All specifications for substances for which a deviating value in the list or component notification is found are sent to you as an SAP office message. You must make corrections manually, and ensure that this procedure is part of your own data maintenance routine.
