Return Date Check (SAP Library - EH&S Waste Management)

Return Date Check

Use

You can use this function to check for which disposal documents the return-within period has been exceeded.

Prerequisites

The system only checks disposal documents that fulfill the following conditions:

The disposal document contains a handover data and a return-within period and therefore also a date on which the disposal document must be returned (return date).
The disposal document has a status for which you have set the RDateChk indicator in the IMG activity Specify Processing Status for Disposal Documents in Customizing for Waste Management.

Features

The return-within period of a disposal document is considered to be exceeded if the return date is before or the same as the system date and if no acceptance date has yet been entered.

When you execute this function, the system sets the status TOUT (Timeout) for all disposal documents for which the return-within period has been exceeded, tells you how many of these disposal documents there are, and displays the disposal documents under the corresponding node in the overview tree.

Activities

In the Waste Management menu, choose one of the following paths:

Disposal documents ® Display

Disposal documents ® Change

Choose .

Note

The system does not take into account whether any disposal documents are selected in the overview tree, in other words all disposal documents that have the status described under Prerequisites are checked.

A message is displayed telling you the number of disposal documents in which the return-within period has been exceeded.

Confirm the message.

The system sets the status TOUT (Timeout) for the disposal documents in which the return-within period has been exceeded and displays them under the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Timeout node.

Note

In the SAP reporting component, you can use a variant of the Simplified Disposal Document Display in List Form function to list the disposal documents in which the return-within period has been exceeded.

In the SAP reporting component, you can use the functions Check Whether Time and Quantity Exceeded in Disposal Documents and Check Whether Time and Quantity Exceeded in Documents with Message (which correspond to the reports EHSWAR_MNCHECKM and EHSWAR_MNCHECK respectively). These reports execute the return date check described here and also the check described under Quantity Check. The report EHSWAR_MNCHECK does not output any messages and can be scheduled as a job and, for example, executed periodically in the background. Note the following:

No job log is created.
Disposal documents that are edited while the job is being executed are not entered.
