Different DG description in transport classification for the DG Classific.

[Former Member]

Hello EH&S Experts,

Following Situation:

For the Dangerous Goods Management we have created our LS_UN_SUB (UN-listed substance) for example the UN 3082 with 3 "NAM-DG" Identifiers for 3 languages (DE,FR,EN) for the dangerous goods regulations (value assignment in EH&S) ADR & IMDG.

So, now we created the corresponding DG_CL_SUB (Dangerous Goods classification) for example the CL3082 also with the 3 "NAM-DG" Identifiers for 3 languages (DE,FR,EN) and add the UN3082 to the DG Regulation ADR & IMDG in the "Transport Classification" Tab.

Problem:

1. As we working mainly in DE (German language) the DG Description in the Transport Class. Tab is displayed in DE (German). So for ADR and IMDG the german description is displayed. But for IMDG regulation it doesn´t exists a german description from the legal point of view.

2. The english DG description could also be different for IMDG and ADR.

Question:

1. Is there a solution to display always the english description for IMDG, also if someone is logged in in german?

2. Is there a solution to maintain DG descriptions per regulation?

Thank you in advance and best regards.

Hello Thomas

Regarding your question:

1. Is there a solution to display always the english description for IMDG, also if someone is logged in german?

My solution would be "simple". Maintain the "english text" with the language DE (so e.g. not NAM DG DE Anilin but NAM DG DE Aniline.

Further option:

As far as I can remember the identifier "selection" process: the system will try to find first in hit list etc. the identifier corresponding to log on language and then search for a "different one) (e.g. D_HITLIST). If you mantain e.g.

NAM DG EN Aniline

and NAM DG Space Aniline

I believe the "aniline" will show up in any log on language there the system ist not able to find a "specific" one .

Regarding:

2. Is there a solution to maintain DG descriptions per regulation?

There are some options. Best option (as far as I can remember the topic) is to go on like this:

NAM DG (ADR Text) DE Text 1 => link the identifier to a "regulatory list (e.g. ADR)

NAM DG (ADNR Text) DE Text 2 => link the identifier to a "regulatory list (e.g. ADNR)

In DG filling the most specific identifier is used to create a phrase and the most specific one (per regulation) is the one having the corresponding regulatory list assigned

Furthereon: as far as i can remember DG filling: the identifier on the level of LS_UN_SUB are used. So one option could be to create one LS_UN_SUB per regulation and to maintain the DG texts there and then combine them in the DG_CL_SUB per regulation according to SAP standard process (clearly the number fo LS_UN_SUB is increasing using this option.)

Hope that this helps.

C.B.
