Dangerous Goods Management
The mode of transport has a significant impact on Dangerous Goods Management
because there are different dangerous goods regulations. The regulation for the
carriage of dangerous goods by road (ADR) contains different rules and provisions
than the regulation for the carriage of dangerous goods by air. There is even a distinction
here as to whether it is a passenger airplane (IATA-P regulation) or a cargo
airplane (IATA-C regulation). You should also refer to Section 3.5 in this case.
9.1.3 Maintaining Master Data
As a basic principle, you must meticulously maintain the master data for Dangerous
Goods Management. The consequences could be fatal if you print incorrect
declarations for your materials on your shipping documents. The dangerous goods
data is stored in the dangerous goods master record.

When you call the dangerous goods master data, not only must you provide the
material number as the key definition, you must also specify the Regulation. Figure
9.3 lists the regulations available in the SAP system.
