Use

In this Customizing activity, you configure the basic settings for Global Label Management before you implement the process steps specified in structure node Process Steps in Global Label Management.

Note that the settings in the Customizing activities include both mandatory and optional settings.

Requirements

Before you configure Global Label Management, make the following settings:

Switch Business Configuration Sets (Switch BC Sets) of Global Label Management

If you activate the business function LOG_EHS_GLM_CI_4 (EHS - Continuous Improvement for Global Label Management), the following switch BC sets are imported:

  • EHS_GLM_CCGLV_BASIC_V (EHS: EHP7 - Configure basic GLM data)

  • EHS_GLM_CCGLV_LOGLEVEL_V (EHS: EHP7 - Set GLM log level)
  • EHS_GLM_CCGLWBV_PAR_V (EHS: EHP7 - Function Workbench - settings)
  • EHS_GLM_CCGLV_SERD_V (EHS: EHP7 - Define GLM sequential numbering)

  • EHS_GLM_EHP7_CCGLV_SCENGRP (EHS: EHP7 - GLM Labeling Scenario Group)

These switch BC sets contain all the basic settings for Global Label Management.

For more information about activating switch BC sets, see the SAP Library for SAP ERP on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com under SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver Library: Function-Oriented View -> Application Server -> Application Server ABAP -> Application Development on AS ABAP -> ABAP Programming Tools -> Switch Framework -> Components and Architecture -> Switch BC Sets.

Authorizations in Global Label Management

First clarify to which user role the users of Global Label Management are assigned. Assign the required authorizations to the users using roles.

The following user roles are distinguished in Global Label Management:

  • Administrator for Global Label Management: Manages Global Label Management and performs the following tasks:
    • System configuration
    • Execution of system updates and system upgrades
    • Technical system checks
    • Assignment of user rights
    • WWI server installation
    • Printer setup

      This role is not shipped with the standard system. Create this role with a freely defined technical name.

  • Person responsible for controlling labeling in Logistics: Triggers label generation automatically in Logistics via the tasks assigned to the role.

    This role is responsible for the business processes in production planning and sales, logistics, production, and planning, for example, or those assigned to quality assurance. The person responsible for the control of labeling in Logistics triggers the creation of print requests for labels in the business processes in the background. This person is not familiar with the labeling requirements.

    This role is not shipped with the standard system. Create this role with a freely defined technical name.

  • Person responsible for labels: Is responsible for the correct provision of safety labels, dangerous goods labels, shipping labels, or customer labels for all products and performs the following tasks:
    • Processes label data for materials and specifications
    • Ensures that label templates fulfill legal requirements, internal company requirements, and customer-specific requirements
    • Processes report generation variants for all required report templates
    • Creates and processes label stocks
    • Generates, checks, and releases labels, and regenerates labels if label updates are requested
    • Provides support for all label printing processes that are relevant in Logistics
    • Generates print requests and prints labels in label printing
    • Manages and processes print requests for label printing in the labeling workbench

      The person to whom this role is assigned must have expertise with regard to the required legal regulations. It is assumed that this person uses Global Label Management on a daily basis.

  • Person responsible for label printing: Is responsible for printing the labels in Logistics that are required for each business process in Logistics and performs the following tasks:
    • Processes and prints the print requests for labels in the simplified print information system of the labeling workbench
    • Generates labels and print requests using Label Printing
    • Accesses data that is assigned to one or more print stations

      It is assumed that the person to whom this role is assigned has limited knowledge of SAP Environment, Health and Safety (SAP EHS).

The following authorization objects are available:

Create the required roles in the system and assign these roles to the users. The following roles for Global Label Management are available in the standard system and can be used as a copy template for your own roles.

  • SAP_EHS_GLM_LWB_ADMIN: Person responsible for labels
    • Unrestricted access to all authorization objects mentioned above
  • SAP_EHS_GLM_LWB_PRINTSTAFF: Person responsible for label printing
    • Access to the simplified print information system of the labeling workbench (authorization object C_EHSG_WB)
    • Access to label printing (authorization object C_EHSG_MP1)
    • Access to the data assigned to print station WORKSTATION1 (authorization object C_EHSG_PRA).
  • SAP_EHS_GLM_LOGISTICS_USER: Person Responsible for Controlling Labeling in Logistics
    • Access to the print stations specified for the assigned authorization object C_EHSG_PRA.

Standard settings

Activities

Specifying the WWI Settings

Two types of print output are available in Global Label Management (Via PC and Via Print Request), which are assigned to the labeling scenarios in the Customizing activity Define Print Scenarios. Depending on the print output type selected, additional WWI servers (generation PCs) are required for final label generation (generation of the final report). This means that you need to install different servers depending on the print output you have selected:

  • Settings for Print Output Via PC:
    • The entire label generation process (generation of report body and final report) takes place using a central WWI server or server farm. The labels are printed using the user's PC. For more configuration information, see the Customizing activity Set Up WWI Server for Label Printing.
    • Install the required print program on the user's PC and connect the PC to the printer. For more information, see the Customizing activity Install Program for Label Printing on Workplace PC.
  • Settings for Print Output Via Print Request:
    • The entire label generation process (generation of report body and final report) and the label printing take place using one or more local WWI servers. For this, process the Customizing activity Configure WWI Server for Print Request Generation.

The printer connection and configuration depend on the print output type selected in the Customizing activity Define Print Scenarios (Via PC or Via Print Request).

  • Via PC print output if printing takes place using the user's PC. The printout is generated on the WWI server and sent to the user's PC. The label is then printed using a printer.
    • Install the print drivers for all printer types and categories that can be accessed by the user's PC on the central WWI server.
    • Load the central printer settings in the Customizing activity Transfer and Check Printers for Label Printing. In this way, all printers that are on the WWI server are available to the user in Label Printing. In order for the user to be able to use these printers, they must match the printers installed on the user's PC.
  • Via PC print output if printing takes place using SAP spool output devices: A printout is first generated on the WWI server and then sent to the application server, from where it is printed as an SAP spool request.
    • Install the print drivers for all printer types and categories that are used by the SAP spool output devices on the central WWI server.
    • Load the central printer settings in the Customizing activity Transfer and Check Printers for Label Printing and assign the SAP spool output device to the WWI printer.
  • Via Print Request print output if printing takes place using the WWI server, that is, the label is printed using the WWI server.
