Output scenarios for additional dangerous goods transport documents
Integration of mixed loading checks for dangerous goods in sales, delivery, and transportation management

Product Compliance Foundation

Continuous content delivery for product marketability and safety data sheet compliance requirements

Business Background

Staying current with ever-changing global regulations is a significant challenge for businesses that market and ship products worldwide. A delay in adopting new compliance rules for product marketability or safety data sheets can lead to shipment stops, fines, and market access issues. Companies need a way to receive and implement these updates without being tied to a major software release cycle, ensuring business continuity and unwavering compliance.

Key Feature

With this innovation, we enable continuous content delivery for product marketability (PMA) and safety data sheet (SDS) compliance requirements via the SAP Regulatory Content Service. This decouples regulatory updates from the main software release schedule. Now you can receive the latest rule sets as they are released, allowing you to remain up to date with the newest regulations. This ensures your product portfolio stays compliant without needing to wait for or implement a new SAP S/4HANA Cloud release.

Dangerous Goods Management

Visualization of information for ADR and RID 1.1.3.6

Business Background

When transporting dangerous goods, specific exemptions can apply under certain conditions, such as the limited quantity provisions in ADR and RID 1.1.3.6 for road and rail transport. For logistics planners and transport operators, having clear and immediate visibility into whether a shipment qualifies for such exemptions is crucial for ensuring both safety and regulatory compliance, while also optimizing transport costs and processes.

Key Feature

To provide this visibility, the "View Markings and Labels; Dangerous Goods" app has been renamed to "Dangerous Goods Information; For the Value Chain" and enhanced significantly. This app now visualizes information related to the ADR and RID 1.1.3.6 agreements, making it easy to see exemption applicability. This feature establishes the foundation for integrating this data into freight units, freight orders, and bookings, helping your teams comply with complex dangerous goods regulations more effectively.

Output scenarios for additional dangerous goods transport documents

Business Background

Operating a global supply chain requires adherence to a diverse and extensive array of transport regulations, each with unique documentation requirements. Manually generating specific dangerous goods notes for different countries and transport modes is inefficient and increases the risk of errors, which can cause transport delays and compliance failures.

Key Feature

This release introduces a host of new output scenarios to support a wide range of dangerous goods transport documents. This includes support for UNRTDG, ADG, ANTT, NOM, NCh382, NZS, SANS, JT/T 617.3, and ADN notes. You can now use these scenarios to view descriptions in the Classify Packaged Dangerous Good app and leverage public APIs to create compliant transport documents in external systems. This allows you to optimize the utilization of the rich dangerous goods information managed within SAP S/4HANA.

Integration of mixed loading checks for dangerous goods in sales, delivery, and transportation management

Business Background

A critical aspect of transport safety is preventing the co-loading of incompatible dangerous goods. These mixed loading prohibitions are strictly enforced, and violations can lead to severe accidents and legal penalties. To mitigate this risk, businesses require systematic checks to be performed early and consistently throughout the logistics process, from sales to final transport execution.

Key Feature

This enhancement integrates dangerous goods mixed loading checks directly into the core logistics value chain. The system now automatically performs these checks on sales orders and outbound deliveries, as well as within Transportation Management for freight units, freight orders, and bookings. This proactive validation helps you prevent the execution of noncompliant and unsafe transports, safeguarding your people, assets, and brand reputation.

Printing dangerous-goods freight documents in transportation management

Business Background

To legally transport dangerous goods, shipments must be accompanied by freight documents containing specific, accurate dangerous goods information. Generating these documents separately from standard freight paperwork is inefficient and creates opportunities for inconsistency and error, jeopardizing compliance.

Key Feature

You can now print relevant dangerous goods information together with your standard freight documents directly from Transportation Management. This release provides compliant document templates for key regulations, including the ADR dangerous goods note for European road transport, the RID note for European rail, U.S. and Canadian bills of lading, and the IMDG declaration for ocean transport. This integration ensures you can provide freight documents that are fully compliant with the regulations of various countries.

Safety Data Sheet and Label Management

Supporting multi-component products for two or more products in the safety data sheet process

Business Background

Many industries sell products as kits or sets that contain multiple distinct chemical components, each of which may legally require its own Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Managing and distributing the correct SDS for every component to the customer can be a complex and manual task, risking incomplete communication of safety information.

Key Feature

To address this, we now provide the ability to send safety data sheets for multiple components of a product at the same time. When a product is comprised of two or more items requiring an SDS, the system can now group and transmit all relevant documents in a single, consolidated process. This improves your compliance with SDS regulations and ensures your customers receive complete and accurate safety information efficiently.

Support for branded products in the safety data sheet process

Business Background

Companies often market an identical substance or mixture under various brand names or trade names to serve different markets or customer segments. Sending the same SDS to a customer multiple times, once for each branded product they purchase, is redundant and can create unnecessary administrative work and confusion for the recipient.

Key Feature

This feature introduces support for branded products in the safety data sheet shipment process. You can now configure the system to manage SDS distribution at the branded-product level. This includes deriving the product name on the SDS from the branded product information. This intelligent handling helps you avoid sending redundant SDS documents to customers, streamlining your compliance processes and improving the customer experience.
