This function enables you to clearly identify a specification using various identifiers. An identifier is defined in the following way:
The identification
category
generally specifies the data type. The categories
name, number
, and
chemical formula
are delivered in the standard system.
The identification type gives a more exact description of the identification category.
You can output identifiers on EH&S reports.
In Customizing for
Basic Data and Tools
, you have edited the following IMG activities:
In the IMG activity
Check Identification Listing,
you define the identifiers to be displayed on the individual program screens (on the hit list, in value assignment, for example). For an identification listing, you can define:
The maximum number of identifiers to be displayed for an item
That an identifier is to be displayed only if a particular regulatory list is assigned to it
In the IMG activity
Check Identification Types
you define the identification types. For each identification type you can also specify the following:
The specification category to which a specification must belong so that an identifier of the identification type can be assigned to it
The maximum length of an identifier
A check function that checks whether the entry for an identifier is correct
Whether an identifier of the category
Name
is language-dependent
Whether lowercase letters are to be changed to uppercase
Whether special characters are allowed
Whether an identifier of the category
Chemical formula
is assigned to a document
Example
For the specification category
Substance
you can, for example, specify the following identification types:
Identification Category |
Identification Type |
---|---|
Name |
IUPAC name, product name, synonym, trivial name, trade name, and so on |
Number |
CAS number (Chemical Abstract Service), EINECS (European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances), ELINCS (European List of New Chemicals), UN number (UN list for dangerous goods transports), and so on |
Chemical formula |
Empirical formula, rational formula (a chemical formula structured according to chemical function units), and so on |
You can:
Create any number of identifiers for a specification Within an identification type, you can also define the sort sequence as required.
Enter a text of any length for each identifier
Note
You can format your text. When the text is printed out on a report, all formatting (character formats, paragraph formats, and so on) is retained. The prerequisite for this is that the environment parameter LONGTEXT_FORMAT_SUPPORT must be set in Customizing for
Basic Data and Tools
.
Assign regulatory lists to each identifier
Specify a usage for each identifier
Proceed as follows to enter identifiers for a specification:
Follow the procedure
Creating Specifications
or
Editing Specifications
and choose the
Identifiers
tab page.
Enter data as required (see also Example: Editing Identifiers ).
Note the following:
Choose a language key for language-dependent identifiers.
If you want to format the text for an identifier or if you want to enter more than 132 characters, double-click the
Identifier
field to open the text editor. In this field you can enter a text of any required length and format it.
If your text is longer than 132 characters or you have formatted it, you can only edit it using the text editor
.
Confirm and save your entries.
If necessary, enter a usage for the identifier and assign it to a regulatory list (see Editing Usages and Assigning Regulatory Lists ).
