Determination of Data for Dangerous Goods Checks 

Use

After dangerous goods checks have been started in sales, shipping, or shipment documents, this function determines the data required by the system to process the check methods.

Prerequisites

·        See Dangerous Goods Checks in Sales Documents

·        See Dangerous Goods Checks in Shipping Documents

·        See Dangerous Goods Checks in Shipment Documents

Features

If a check schema has been set up, the system performs the following steps:

...

       1.      It checks whether the DIs rel. for checks indicator is set in the IMG activity Activate Dangerous Goods Checks.

If the DIs rel. for checks indicator is set, the system checks only the materials in the sales and distribution (SD) document to which a dangerous goods indicator profile is assigned in the material master in the Basic data 2 view in which you have set the Dangerous goods check indicator.

This setting is useful if you usually want to check only check-relevant materials. Make this setting if you usually have SD documents with several items but few dangerous goods.

If the DIs rel. for checks indicator is not set, all materials in the SD document are checked.

This setting is useful if you usually want to classify all materials according to dangerous goods criteria. You can use an appropriate check method to identify the materials in the dangerous goods check that have no dangerous goods indicator profile in the material master and would cause an error to occur.

       2.      The system derives the relevant countries and mode-of-transport categories from the document data, and uses them to select the dangerous goods master records and relevant dangerous goods check methods.

       3.      The system determines the dangerous goods check methods to be performed.

If you have defined usage profiles in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management for check methods in the check schema to be performed, the system then sorts through the check schema and excludes the check methods that are superfluous for the countries and mode-of-transport categories selected. If several usage profiles with different validity areas were created for one combination of check method and mode-of-transport category, the system selects the usage profile with the smallest validity area (nonoverlap or distinction principle).

A dangerous goods check schema contains check methods for Germany and the USA. However, for a shipment that takes place in Germany only, the usage profile filters out and processes the check methods for Germany only.

       4.      The selection date is determined according to the settings made in the IMG activity Specify Date for Determination of DG Master Data and used to read the dangerous goods master records.

If an error occurs when determining data, this is noted in the check log and the dangerous goods checks are terminated.
