1.0 Introduction
Dangerous goods are solids, liquids or gases that can harm people, other living
organisms, property, or the environment. These dangerous goods are always
subjected to rules and regulations when they are transported.
Dangerous goods can explode or burst into flame. They can be poisonous, corrosive
or have the capacity for sudden decomposition. Many common chemicals found in
thousands of businesses look harmless, but if you don't understand the risks - store
them incorrectly, add heat, moisture or mix them together - they can become deadly.
Examples for dangerous goods include: Gasoline, Li-ion batteries, Solvent paints,
Acids, Blood samples etc…

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the DG Management is to create the required regulations, other
details for a material that has to be treated as a dangerous good and ensure the
safe transportation.

This scenario describes how dangerous goods relevant data can be maintained in
compliance with the respective legal provisions. The dangerous goods relevant data
can be kept in the EH&S specification database, and then transferred to the
dangerous goods master, an independent object in the SAP Sales and Distribution
module.

Data
 EH&S -DGP

The process flow starts with the creation of the DG basic data in the specification
workbench with all the required data and transferring the data to the DG master by
Automatic process called Filling. The checks are carried out in the SD documents
and if there are no logs, the papers are printed.

1.3 Integration Objects

To use the Dangerous Goods Management component, you must install the
following SAP components
· Materials Management (MM)
· Sales and Distribution (SD)
· Environment, Health and Safety (EHS)

Note: The Dangerous Goods Management component maps the legal regulations
for packaged goods only in the system, and not those for bulk goods

2.0 Dangerous Goods Basic Data

2.1 Purpose
Dangerous goods data is created for a specification of specification type UN-listed
substance. The purpose of the DG basic data is to create the regulations and other
necessary data like UN number, state of transport etc… in the property tree of the
substance database. We maintain it for UN-listed substance, DG Classification and
for the Real Substance. The data is then transferred to DG Master by the automatic
process called Filling.

2.2 Definitions
Refers and relates to the various rules and regulations applicable for the safe
transport of the material.

2.3 Prerequisites
To edit dangerous goods data, use the SAP components:
· Product Safety (EHS-SAF)
· Materials Management (LO-MD-MM)
10 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

· Dangerous Goods Basic Data (EHS-DGP-BD)

The material which has to be listed and treated as a dangerous good should be
maintained in the Material Master, with the ‘Dangerous goods profile’ and the
‘Environmentally relevant’ check box ‘ticked’.

2.4 Procedure
Dangerous Goods Classification Process
The DG basic data is created in the specification work bench. The specification
workbench is accessed through the transaction CG02BD.

Steps:

 Create a substance with the specification type LS_UN_SUB. Define the

identifiers with IUPAC name and identifiers. Fill the property tree.

 Create a Dangerous good with the specification type DG_CL_SUB. In the

identifier tab, give a description for the DG. Fill the property tree. (In the transport
classification tab, enter the UN listed substance name and manually enter the
risk potential)
 Create a substance with the specification type REAL_SUB. Assign the materials
in the material assignment tab. In the reference tab, enter the DG name as the
reference.

The following steps describe the above mentioned process in detail.

1.Creating and editing UN-listed substances

Go to specification workbench (CG02BD) and create a UN listed substance. The
process is explained below.

After double clicking on the ‘Substance’ click on the create button. (This same way is
used for creating the DG classification and Real substance).

 You create a specification of the specification type UN-listed substance

(LS_UN_SUB) .

11 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

Enter the specification name, type(UN listed) and other required data (if necessary)

 If any restrictions has to be maintained for the UN listed substance, it can be

maintained in the Restrictions tab.

 You define the identification number for the specification by creating an

identifier of identification category NUM and of identification type UN, ID, or
NA. The name to identify the substance can be maintained with the ID type
DG.

12 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

 If the restriction tab is maintained, the stauts of the substance should be in

the released state for the Substance.

 You call the property tree that contains the value assignment type Dangerous
goods regulations.

 You call the value assignment type Dangerous goods regulations and assign
a dangerous goods class to the UN-listed substance depending on the
dangerous goods regulation. You must also specify whether a collective
number is used and whether transport is permitted.

 Then you edit the dangerous goods data, or in other words, the risk
classification, packaging code approval, and transport approval. (Further
detail: Check UN-Listed susbtance CRESOL in the ID5 system)

Risk classification

13 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

For defined combinations that are made up of dangerous goods letters and
packing groups (corresponds to risk potential), you enter which quantities can be
transported on each transport unit and assign the packing instruction number.
Packaging code approval
Depending on the risk potential and the packaging code, you specify which
maximum quantities are approved for each.
Transport approval
Depending on the risk potential and the transport type, you specify whether
transport is approved.
Packing requirement
To specify special packing provisions, choose with the quick info text Special
Provisions on the Packing Requirements tab page.
Provisions for carriage
You edit this data dependent on a dangerous goods regulation and a risk
potential.

2. Creating and editing specifications of the specification type Dangerous

goods classification

You create a specification of the specification type DG_CL_SUB (Dangerous goods

classification).

14 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

You define an identifier for the specification, for example, of identification category
NAM and enter a descriptive text such as Dangerous goods classification for
varnish.

You call the property tree that contains the value assignment type Dangerous
goods classification.

You call the value assignment type dangerous goods classification and enter
the data for the transport classification and for the hazard inducers. Choose
the Transport Classification tab page. Assign a specification of specification
type UN-listed substance (LS_UN_SUB) to the dangerous goods classification
for each dangerous goods regulation.
The system transfers the type of the identification number, the identification
number, the dangerous goods class, and the risk potential from the referencing
UN-listed substance if this data is specified in the UN-listed substance.

Note: The status of the DG regulation for the UN listed substance should be in the released
status. If it is not released in the basic data and if you try to release the same in the DG master
data, the system will pop up an error..

15 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

Choose the Hazard Inducers (A substance contained in dangerous goods that can
constitute a primary or secondary hazard) tab page in order to assign the hazard
inducers to the dangerous goods classification in accordance with the dangerous
goods regulation and the hazard inducer type.

3. Assigning Real substances and Materials

You call the specification of the specification type Real substance to which the
material you want to classify is assigned.

16 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

Give an identifier to identifyt he material in the identifiers tab

 You check and edit the assignment of materials in material assignment tab.

Note: Any number of materials that are subject to regualtions and to be listde as a dangerous
good can be assigned here.

17 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

 You enter the dangerous goods classification as a reference specification in

the header data of the real substance. In this way you classify the material
that is assigned to the real substance.

Note: If you assign the material directly to the dangerous goods classification, this
assignment then has the higher priority, but an environmentally relevant material
must be assigned to a real substance that requires a material safety data sheet if
automatic material safety data sheet shipping is to be set up.
To enable the transfer of dangerous goods data from the specification database to
the dangerous goods master, the assignment of the material to the dangerous goods
classification must be unique. Data is not transferred if you assign two dangerous
goods classifications to a material via two different real substances.

 You call the property tree EH&S Tremcard for the real substance to see the
referenced values from the UN listed substance and from the DG Class.

Here you can see all the referenced values from the UN Listed and the DG classification
being copied to the Real substance property tree.

2.6 Notes & references

Note: Check in the ID 5 system for the data with CRESOL as the UN-Listed
substance, JET A FUEL as the DG Classification and PARAFFIN as the Real
substance.

3.0 Dangerous Goods Master data

3.1 Purpose
The dangerous goods master data refers to the master data to be used in the EHS
system and the data to be considered on the time of report generation. The
dangerous goods master data can be created in two ways. One is by manual
creation of the DG master using DGP1 t-code or by the automatic process called
‘Filling’ using the t-code DGE5. The dangerous goods master contains the data
required to perform dangerous goods checks and generate dangerous goods
documents according to the respective dangerous goods regulations. DGP2 and
DGP3 tcodes are used for changing and displaying the DG Master.

3.2 Procedure
Filling process by DGE5

By Using DG Filling functionality system transfers the data from Specification

(SAP EHS) and material data from the Material master (SAP MM) into a centralized
table (DG Master).System uses this DG Master to check the DG (MT, MIH etc.) and
19 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

creates incompletion document and blocks the shipment, if it doesn’t pass the DG
check.

If DG filling is not carried out, then we have to do the manual filling by DGP1.

Enter the DG name, the real substance name and the material (range) and choose a
phrase group(DG_MASTER in this case). Execute.

Once the filling process is done, the DG master data for that material is created. You
can see the log in DGP7 and change/display the master by going to DGP3.

The above screen-shot shows the result of the transfer by filling. (DG Master data)

20 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

The processing status of the DG Master should be in the RELEASED status (10).

4.0 Dangerous Goods Checks in Sales

4.1 Purpose
The purpose is to check the sales documents with regard to the rules and
regulations that were maintained in the DG master. The following document
categories are relevant for DG checks with reference to the sales documents.

 Inquiry
 Quotation
 Sales order
 Scheduling agreement
 Scheduling agreement with external agent
 Contract
 Order without charge

21 | P a g e

4.2 Pre-requisites
In the IMG part, we have to set the following checks for the DG checks.
The purpose of this activity is to switch on dangerous goods checks in general in the
system.

Accessing the EHS-DGP in IMG.

Activating the DG checks.

22 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

Select the required checkboxes and save it.

The material should also have the ‘Environmentally relevant’ check and the ‘DG
Indicator profile’ to be maintained in the Material Master- Basic Data 2 view.
(Transaction MM02)

Note: If the DIs rel. for checks indicator is set, the system checks only the materials in the sales and
distribution (SD) document to which a DG indicator profile is assigned in the material master in the
Basic data 2 view in which you have set the Dangerous goods check indicator.
(This setting is useful if you usually want to check only check-relevant materials. Make this
setting if you usually have SD documents with several items but few dangerous goods).
If the DIs rel. for checks indicator is not set, all materials in the SD document are checked.
(This setting is useful if you usually want to classify all materials according to dangerous
goods criteria. You can use an appropriate check method to identify the materials in the dangerous
goods check that have no dangerous goods indicator profile in the material master and would cause
an error to occur.)

The DG indicator profile can be customized in the IMG section.

Note:
Please refer the file SD-DGP to understand the sales process further in detail.

Dangerous Goods Checks in Sales and Distribution.

Business Process:
Any saleable material in the plant mapped in SAP system should have the Sales: Sales Org. Data 1,
Sales: Sales Org. Data 2, Sales: General/Plant Data being maintained in the Material Master.
The material has a shipping point in the plant (usually the plant code itself) and it is sold to the
customer through a Sales Organization, Distribution Channel and a Division. (This is set in the
material master).
49 | P a g e
 EH&S -DGP

Once the material is shipped from the plant to the customer, and if it is a DG material, there are lots of
requirements to be met (such as packaging, transport, labels etc...) with so as to ensure safety both
for the environment and to the people.

Process flow:
The sales process in SAP starts with the creation of a Sales order. The mandatory fields to be
entered while the creating the sales order include the customer, the material, quantity, plant, pricing,
route, means of transport. The DG checks can be carried during the processing manually or
automatically while saving the order.
Once the Sale order is created, the next step is to create an outbound delivery. Outbound delivery
can be created with reference or without reference (without sale order). If you create with reference,
most of the data from the sale order will be copied to the outbound delivery. Checks can be
performed here too. If the material is enabled for picking (WM) we have to create a Transfer order
before doing the Post Goods Issue.
Please see the step by step instructions with the relevant screen shots for a better understanding.

Create Sale Order:- Tcode-VA01

Enter the sold to party (customer), the material name, quantity, plant and the price.
