Automatic Quantity Update
Use
A waste approval stipulates the maximum quantity of waste belonging to a certain
waste code that can be generated and disposed of over a specified time period. This function ensures that this licensed waste quantity is not overwritten and that a new waste approval is applied for in time.Prerequisites
You have
created and released the waste approval with the corresponding data (waste code, licensed quantity, and validity period).Features
The waste quantity disposed of is automatically updated in the Qty disposed of field in the waste approval for the waste code assigned when you enter a waste quantity for a
disposal document to which the waste approval and waste code have been assigned. The system also establishes the difference between the waste quantity that was licensed in the waste approval for the waste code and the waste quantity disposed of, and notifies you of this licensed remaining quantity. This ensures that you can apply for a new waste approval in time.You can enter the following waste quantities for the disposal document:
The quantity disposed of is used for the automatic quantity update. The outgoing quantity is only used as long as no quantity disposed of has been entered. As soon as a quantity disposed of that differs from the outgoing quantity has been entered, the system corrects the waste quantity disposed of in the waste approval by the amount of the difference.
If the waste quantity disposed of for a waste code would exceed the licensed waste quantity, the waste quantity disposed of is not updated in the waste approval. You cannot then save the quantity you entered for the disposal document, and a corresponding message is displayed. You can only save the quantity you entered if you assign a different waste approval to the disposal document or if you reduce the quantity you entered accordingly. This ensures that the waste quantity that was licensed for the waste code in the waste approval is not exceeded.
If you
cancel or delete a disposal document to which a waste approval, a waste code, and a waste quantity have been assigned, the waste quantity specified in this disposal document is automatically deducted from the waste quantity disposed of in the waste approval.
