According to the 11th BImSchV (German regulation: Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz), installations that required approval must submit their emissions declaration on a regular basis. This declaration is due every four years.
This applies to companies in the energy, basic materials, and process industries, for example. They must report the type, quantity, and time of emitted air pollutants to the competent authority.
To reduce the time and effort needed in compiling the necessary information, we enable with this new release a new SAP Fiori app, and you are now able to collect store, and calculate the needed relevant Emissions Declaration data.
See in this blog how we continue our journey to increase key differentiators full of exciting innovations, enhancements, and features supporting your intelligent enterprise in the Environment, Health, and Safety area.
To name just a few highlights:
In this blog post, I will walk you through the selected key highlights for the Environment, Health, and Safety of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition 2302 release.
Environment management involves defining requirements and managing environmental emissions data to comply with regulations, internal policies, and environmental operating permits and to reduce waste and emissions.
With this New SAP Fiori app My Emissions Declarations (App ID: F6723), you can collect, store, and calculate relevant Emissions Declaration data, which will later be used for regulatory reporting required by the German regulation "Emissionserklärung nach 11. BImSchV".
You can use this app to do the following:
Picture 1: Enable customers to plan, collect, calculate, and validate air emissions data efficiently for the German regulation 11. BImSchV.
The Waste Management component supports you in handling waste disposal processes and complying with national and international regulations and laws that are relevant for generation, transport, and disposal.
With this new release, you can add waste data to a permit. This allows you to add waste data to existing permits including a permit type, disposal facility, and waste code.
Picture 2: Add waste data to permits with the Domain set as Waste.
Waste streams define the relationship between a waste product, waste generator, storage location, and the points of generation.
For more information, see Waste Streams.
With this new 2302 release, you can now add one or more container types used to store the waste material at the point of generation and at the waste storage location, if one is used, depending on the country/region of your waste generator.
Remark: The point of waste generation is the location within your plant where the waste product is generated, and the waste storage location is the location where it is stored.
Picture 3: Add one or more container types used to store the waste material.
To dispose of generated waste, an Environmental Manager needs to document each step in the waste disposal chain in a legally compliant waste transportation document.
For more information, see Waste Transportation Documents.
When you classify packaged products according to dangerous goods regulations, the system generates the description of the dangerous goods for documents containing information about dangerous goods. The description for documents is printed on documents within the values chain, such as sales order confirmations, delivery notes, and the ADR Dangerous Goods Notes. The dangerous goods data that must be printed is determined by the type of document. Therefore, different output scenarios are provided, which contain the dangerous goods data needed for a specific document.
With this new 2302 release, an output scenario for printing dangerous goods data on waste transportation documents is delivered.
The dangerous goods descriptions that are printed are not only dependent on the dangerous goods classification of the product but they're also determined by the type of document on which they are printed.
In the Specify Output of Dangerous Goods Description activity, the configuration expert can specify which dangerous goods descriptions are printed on which document and in which sequence. In addition, the expert can specify whether the dangerous goods regulations are printed together with their modes of transport and the transport permission on one document.
If you want to change the settings, use the search function to open the following activity in your configuration environment: Specify Output of Dangerous Goods Description.
Picture 4: View the different description templates and the placeholders delivered for the different segments of the description templates and the delivered selection rules.
For more information about the generation of the description for documents, see Dangerous Goods Descriptions.
An Environmental Manager needs to aggregate, analyze, and compare data from waste transportation documents and corresponding data sets with reference information.
This information allows you to regularly monitor your waste flows, and the environmental performance of the waste management system and facilitates your environmental reporting.
