3.5 Dangerous Goods Master Data
If the materials you ship are dangerous goods, you need to comply with legal regulations
covering the transportation of dangerous goods by road, air, or sea. The SAP
system provides dangerous goods management, which supports you in managing
dangerous goods.
Dangerous goods management is based on the dangerous goods master. Once all
necessary data has been entered in the dangerous goods master, you can define
specific dangerous goods checks. These checks are performed when deliveries and
shipments are created. For dangerous goods, you are also required to print correct
dangerous goods data on all shipping documents (for example, on the bill of lading
and the delivery note) and to provide additional documents (for example, material
safety data sheets and tremcards). If you use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to
send delivery data to your shipping company or customer, dangerous goods management
ensures that the required dangerous goods information is transmitted.
As is the case with other master data, the dangerous goods data contains general
and specific data. The specific data depends on the individual regulations. A regulation
determines the handling of dangerous goods for a particular mode of transport.
The most important regulations within the European Union are:
EE

Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations: ADR
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail Regulations: RID
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Air Regulations (Cargo Aircraft): IATA-C
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Air Regulations (Passenger Aircraft): IATA-P
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Sea Regulations: IMDG
Consequently, you must create a dangerous goods master record for each material
and for all dangerous goods regulations.
