Waste Approval (SAP Library - EH&S Waste Management)

Waste Approval

Definition

Document prescribed by law or defined within an enterprise relating to the permissibility of the planned disposal of certain wastes.

Example

In Germany, the waste approval directive (NachwV) stipulates the waste approvals for hazardous waste. A waste approval stipulates, among other things, the maximum quantity of waste belonging to a certain waste code that can be generated and disposed of over a specified time period.

Structure

Each waste approval belongs to a waste approval type that controls the data entry and further processing of data in the waste approval.

You can enter the following data, for example, for a waste approval (see Editing Waste Approvals):

Waste management business partners involved

Waste codes to which the waste approval applies

Licensed waste quantity

Processing status of the waste approval

By assigning the corresponding processing status, you can release a waste approval (see Releasing Waste Approvals).

Integration

The data in released waste approvals is automatically transferred to some places in Waste Management and used for checks (see Result section under Releasing Waste Approvals).
