Use

In this IMG activity, you specify the usage profiles for dangerous goods check methods.

Using this IMG activity, you can set the check methods to run in accordance with the mode-of-transport category, validity area, and function.
These context-dependent usage profiles improve performance considerably. For example, you can restrict the check method "poisonous by inhalation" to the validity area USA, the mode-of-transport category 99 (all mode-of-transport categories), and the function recipient country. The system then just checks in this context.

If you do not enter a usage profile for a check method, the check method for all countries and mode-of-transport categories for the document is processed. This means that for every material/country/mode-of-transport category combination in the document, the system attempts to find a dangerous goods master record that can be checked with the check method.

A usage profile key is composed of the following elements:

  • Dangerous goods check method
  • Mode-of-transport category
  • Validity area

You must also specify which function the countries (or regions) in the validity area are to perform for the shipment during the check. The following functions are supported:

1    Departure country

2    Transit country

3    Destination country

4    Departure and transit country

5    Transit and destination country

6    Departure and destination country

7    Departure, transit, and destination country

During the dangerous goods checks, these countries are determined as follows:

  • Departure country in sales and shipping documents from the shipping point
  • In shipment documents from the departure nodes in the first shipment stage
  • Transit country from the route or shipment stages or the transit country table
  • Destination country in sales and shipping documents from the ship-to party
  • In shipment documents from the destination country for the last shipment stage

To check the usage profiles, all country/mode-of-transport category combinations are determined from the document. A check method is processed if the mode-of-transport category and at least one country in the validity area are present in the document. If you do not define a usage profile for a check method, the check method is always processed.

When you define usage profiles, you must take into account that the mode-of-transport category and validity area in the profile are used during the processing of the check method to read the relevant dangerous goods master record that is used for the check. Because of this, you should always enter the usage profile for a check method with regard to the dangerous goods regulations you are using in the dangerous goods master.

Requirements

You have defined dangerous goods check methods in the IMG activity Specify Dangerous Goods Check Methods.

You have defined validity areas in the IMG activity Specify Validity Areas.

Activities

  1. Call the IMG activity.
  2. Specify the usage profile by assigning a dangerous goods check method, a mode-of-transport category, and a validity area to the profile.
  3. Assign a function to this usage profile.

    This assignment is optional.

Example

The check method Permissibility of mode-of-transport category (function module HAZMAT_CHK_MOT) must be carried out for each regulation mapped in the dangerous goods master. You could specify the following usage profiles for this usage profile, for example:

ModeTransportCat. Validity Area Dangerous Goods Regulation

Road(01) REG_ADR ADR

Rail(02) REG_RID RID

Inland waterway(03) REG_ADNR ADNR

Sea(04) REG_WORLD IMDG

  • The dangerous goods regulation that is defined by mode-of-transport category and validity area in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management is used in the dangerous goods master. The third column in the above example contains the corresponding dangerous goods regulation for dangerous goods master records on which the example is based.
  • If transport takes place on the mode-of-transport category road and goes through a country in the validity area REG_ADR, the materials are checked using the dangerous goods master record with the dangerous goods regulation ADR. If transport also takes places on mode-of-transport category rail and goes through a country in the validity area REG_RID, the materials are also checked using the dangerous goods master record with the dangerous goods regulation RID.
  • If you define several usage profiles for a combination of check method and mode-of-transport category, the profile with the most restricted validity area is used to read the dangerous goods master record.

This corresponds to the 5-levels concept (non-overlapping principle of the validity areas) for the dangerous goods master. For more information, see the application help under Dangerous Goods Master -> Checking Validity Areas.

Further notes

  • Entries for check method 1 (GENERAL CHECKS) are ignored when the check methods are processed.
  • Entries for check methods that are identified as initialization check methods for header checks ('03') only make sense if the same usage profile is available for the header check methods on which they are based, since otherwise the dangerous goods master records are not available for all validity areas.
