New changes for Dangerous Goods Management component in EHP6

[Former Member]

EHP6 was released long back , but still we are seeing some issues in SCN about DG warning messages during performing DG Checks in Logistic documents.

Example of the issue:-

In sales delivery document if we are trigger DG Checks , will get the message of "Material does not have Release indicator set" , we will get this message even if we maintain release indicator in DG Master (refer below screen shots).

Specifically this issue will arise who are upgraded from old version to Ehp 6.0

Go through the below documents which describes about changes /Additions in DG Functionality in EHP6.

Previously used dangerous goods indicators predefined by the system are replaced with indicators for transport in the product release and in the dangerous goods supplement in delivery and shipment.

You can specify the indicators for transport in Customizing and assign dangerous goods regulations:

In the Customizing activity Specify Indicators for Transport, you can you  specify your own indicators for transport and assign these to the dangerous goods regulations for which you want to use the indicators for transport. This allows you to respond flexibly to new regulatory requirements.

Using the Customizing activity Show DG Indicators in DG Supplement, you can display the dangerous goods indicators in addition to the indicators for  transport in the dangerous goods supplement for a transitional period.

The Indicator for Transport 01 to Indicator for Transport 08 fields have been added to the product release.

The Indicator for Transport 01 to Indicator for Transport 08 fields have been added to the dangerous goods supplement.

The dangerous goods check method DG63_CHECK_DG_RELEASE checks the previously used dangerous goods indicator Product Is Released and the new indicator for transport RELEASED.

In the Customizing activity Convert Dangerous Goods Indicators Into Indicators for Transport, you can convert the dangerous goods indicators used in the product release into the corresponding indicators for transport for all dangerous goods-relevant materials. How the dangerous goods indicators are assigned to the corresponding indicators for transport is predefined by the

1. system. This means that only those indicators for transport provided in the standard system are taken into account.

Effects on Existing Data

The process to convert the dangerous goods indicators into the corresponding indicators for transport can be repeated. The dangerous goods indicators previously used are retained in the data records.

If the indicators for transport are to be evaluated or set instead of the previously used dangerous goods indicators, the customer-specific dangerous goods check methods and paper processing methods need to be adjusted.

New list of indicators are delivered as SAP standard customizing:

  RELEASED = Product is released

  NOT_PERM = Transport not permitted

  NOT_DG = Not dangerous goods

  LQ = Limited Quantity

  RQ = Reportable Quantity

  CC = Consumer Commodity

  PACK_GOOD = Packed Goods

  EQ = Excepted Quantity

  HIGH_VISC = Exemption: Highly Viscous

  LIST_GOOD = Listed Goods

  DE_MIN_EX = De minimis exception

Effects on Customizing

You configure the settings for the above new indicators for transport in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management as follows:

Dangerous Goods Checks and Dangerous Goods Documents/EDI -> Specify Indicators for Transport

Dangerous Goods Checks and Dangerous Goods Documents/EDI -> ShowDangerous Goods Indicators in Dangerous Goods Supplement

Dangerous Goods Product Release -> Convert Dangerous Goods Indicators Into Indicators for Transport
