Packaging checks in DG

[former_member596894]

Hi,

We are trying to set up packaging related DG checks in the Shipment and Delivery document. The aim is to ensure that the DG relevant materials are packed using the legally compliant packing materials and also that incompatible dangerous goods are not packed together. We also need to supplement this with a functionality to provide proposal of the "Allowed" packing materials during the Packing process in Shipment and Delivery.

Has anybody worked on such a set up?

I have read the documentation about the Handling Unit Integration in DG but I did not find that very comprehensive. Plus, the Shipment part is not supported by this functionality.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Neeraj

Hello

the approach is totally company specific. There is no clear guidance possible. You have "general" rules (because of legislation) to pack something together and then some "Best practise" on top rules which are company specific.

The general rules are more or less like:: do not pack together an "acid" and a "base"

The more specfic rule could be: don't pack together A and B because of issues with the e.g. "odor" etc.

In context of "We also need to supplement this with a functionality to provide proposal of the "Allowed" packing materials during the Packing process in Shipment and Delivery."

I am not aware of any integration option of EHS with the "packing" process. The DG process is integrated "later". So the "bad" news is normally: You pack; execute the DG check and then if needed you must "depack" and once again starting packing.

The DG story for packing is discussed here on a very low level.
