Dangerous Goods Management 

Use

With this function, you create and edit dangerous goods master records. The system uses the data in the dangerous goods master records, for example, in the dangerous goods checks and for printing dangerous goods documents.

Integration

Dangerous goods management supports you in the following processes:

●      Delivery processing with the Routing Guide

The Routing Guide determines and assesses trips for transportation. This includes the selection of a means of transport for each leg of a trip and a list of carriers. With the Routing Guide, you can perform dangerous goods checks to confirm that a trip is safe from a dangerous goods regulation perspective. Delivery processing makes use of the Routing Guide for the following events:

○       When changing a route that was already determined and checked

○       When changing the quantities in an item

○       When changing the product in an item

○       When changing the delivery date

○       A delivery split

You make the settings for this in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Goods Issue Process ® Transportation Management ® Route Determination and Extended Warehouse Management ® Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Extended Warehouse Management ® Goods Issue Process ® Transportation Management ® Route Determination.

You can perform the dangerous goods checks in the Routing Guide as part of the Global Available-to-Promise check (GATP check) or simulate them for test purposes by choosing Extended Warehouse Management ® Master Data ® Shipping and Receiving ® Route Determination ® Simulate Route Determination.  

●      Retrieving dangerous goods data for printing delivery notes

Retrieving, checking, and formatting the dangerous goods data is encapsulated in the BAdI /SCWM/GET_DG_PRINT. The active BAdI implementation /SCWM/EHS_DGDATA_GET is supplied with the standard system. You can adapt the default behavior of the method GET_DG to suit your own requirements.

The following settings are necessary to use dangerous goods management:

●      To integrate the dangerous goods checks in route determination and route checking in the Routing Guide and in delivery note printing, you must process Customizing for EH&S Services.

●      Enter a means of transport in Customizing for Advanced Planning and Optimization in the IMG activity Maintain Means of Transport.

 

A means of transport must always be assigned to a dangerous goods mode-of-transport category so that the dangerous goods checks can be performed.

●      Create routes and legs.

In the route header, you can use the DG Check indicator to specify whether dangerous goods checks are to be performed for this route. 

In addition to this indicator, you can define the dangerous goods group for this route. The dangerous goods group can be one of the following:

○       SPACE/Initial:       Route for dangerous goods and nondangerous goods

○       1                          Route for dangerous goods only

○       2                          Route for nondangerous goods only

The indicator and the dangerous goods group are evaluated by the Routing Guide, which then calls the dangerous goods checks if required.

●      Using the BAdI /SCTM/EHSDG_BADI_01 BAdI: Dangerous Goods Enhancements for Route Determination (EHS) in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management, you can define enhancements for the dangerous goods checks in route determination. The BAdI is supplied with a default implementation and enables you to do the following:

○       Consistency checks of header data

○       Consistency checks of item data

○       Consistency checks of transit stages

○       Mapping and filtering of header data

○       Mapping and filtering of item data

○       Mapping and filtering of transit stages

If you want to specify text information in the dangerous goods master in the form of phrases, you must create these phrases in phrase management.
