- The current date is within the validity period for the waste approval, in other words the waste approval is valid when it is released.
- You have assigned at least one
waste code to the waste approval (see
Editing Waste Code Assignments).
You have assigned at least one disposal document-relevant waste generator and waste disposer, in other words you have set the Disp. doc. rlvt indicator for at least one assigned waste generator and waste disposer (see

Result
The data in a released waste approval is automatically transferred to the following places in Waste Management and used for checks:
- The system transfers data from the waste approval to a
disposal document under certain conditions when you assign the waste approval to the disposal document (see
Assigning Waste Approvals).
- If you have assigned a waste approval to a disposal document, the system also updates the waste quantity specified in the disposal document in the waste approval and checks that the waste quantity licensed there is not exceeded (see
Automatic Quantity Update).
The system automatically uses a purchasing document of category K (
contract), which you specified for a waste disposer in the waste approval, under certain conditions when you create a purchase order from the SAP disposal processing component and specify the waste disposer (see
Determination of a Valid Contract from the Master Data).
