EHS SVT Tracking Re-imported Substance by Vendor and Purchase Batch

[former_member541723]

Folks,

Anyone have a suggestion of how to connect a tracked re-imported substance back to the original Vendor and Purchase Batch?

US Customer purchases raw materials from EU manufacturer and wants to exclude the tracked substance when their final product is shipped to the EU.

The final product batch number connects to the process order with starting materials that have batch numbers which connect back to the original vendor and country of origin.

However, that connection does not help connect a tracked substance back to the original vendor and batch.

Thanks,

Jim

Hello

we have "SAP Standard"; and we have "extension" options.. The "reimport" topic is a "very old" issue. We have stopped any investigation as whatever was invented was either to complex or to expensive to make the solution work.

First: in the SVT tracking you can not easily detect the "reimport".

Regarding your legislation topic

US Customer purchases raw materials from EU manufacturer and wants to exclude the tracked substance when their final product is shipped to the EU.

My interpretation of the "legal import" would be like (for this case): some chemical company produces material X having e.g. 100% tracked substance Y. This is detected in the "import" to US. Now in "US" something is happening. In most cases: we can assume that material "A" is generated. Now this material A should be sold back to EU

Now the "tricky" EU REACH legislation comes in place. US can not do this "direct" but must use an "OR" to do so.

As this "OR" is clearly different to the company in EU (with high probability): this is not a "reimport" according to my understanding. The OR must report this to the EU and must register this

As explained: we stopped to invest time and money for the "Reimport" part.
