Sales integration

SAP S/4HANA for product compliance helps ensure product compliance throughout the entire product lifecycle and enables seamless integration of product compliance information and assessment results into business processes for example in sales. The application automatically checks in sales documents such as contracts that the included products comply with all marketability, dangerous goods, and safety data sheet requirements. In case of missing information, the system automatically blocks the document and informs the product steward about missing information. After the product steward has provided missing information and has released the product for sales, the blocks are automatically removed.
