PRINT SDS from Delivery similar to Automatic Rep shipping.

[ashish25bp]

Hello Experts,

Customer wants to print MSDS from delivery (VL02N) similar to Automatic Report shipping function. That means, as soon as the delivery is saved, an output should trigger through which the plant person can access the SDS and print a copy for transporter/Carrier. Currently they handle this manually by accessing Report info system and download it and print it.

This requirement is similar to automatic report shipping where the SDS is directly sent to customer contact person via email. In the same way, as soon as the delivery is saved, an output should be triggered ( SDB or similar to SDB) through which plant person can manage to print SDS for the transporter/ carrier without going in Report information system.

I am not sure if we can manage to create both through SDB output type OR if we need to create new output type to handle this. Besides SDB output type is further processed in CVD1 as SD_CALL. Can we manage similar process with PRINT_CALL for same SDB output type?

I tried changing the customization by activating PRINT_CALL and assigning the output type SDB with:

• Output type : SDB
• Output application: V2
• Transmission medium: 1 (print)

But it is not triggering on it's own

Please give me a hint incase anyone has worked on similar requirement.

Regards,

Ashish

Hello Ashish

after rereading your topic..

The "problem" might be this sentence..

"is saved, an output should trigger through which the plant person can access the SDS and print a copy for transporter/Carrier"

Do you still know (on delivery level): who is the transporter/carrier? in most cases you do not know it.

This "transporting" is normally handled in the SAP process in the next step. Here; based on transport mode etc. you can assign a further "business partner" describing the "transporter" (having a special BP role)

In most cases: on delivery level: you have no clue: who is the transporter?

But if you would have a Buiness partner having a role like "Transporter" in your Delivery..

You can achieve the topic (by enhancing the process..) some own programming is required.

The "need" to ship a SDS/MSDS to the transporter is a well known topic

PS: the issue is on top: a delivery can contain many materials. So the "print "of SDS/MSDS via CG54 is an option as well; but the "plant" person must be trained; and it would be a "pure" manual process

On top: in EHS the "print" part does not have any relation to a "plant"; you have only a relation to the "sales organization"

Hello

This topic is quite close to your question.

Hello Ashish

you can integrate "Report sipment" using "Sales order" or "Delivery". As specified by you: you integrate it by using "ouput managment" in SAP SD.

We are not using a "PRINT_CALL" integration but just the "SD_CALL" part (even for delivery). But it should be possible to use PRINT_CALL only BUT then no Cover Sheet is prepared (the PRINT_CALL process might be enhanced to get a CoverSheet)

KEEP IN MIND: a delivery can contain many materials; the "PRINT_CALL" need to know "which printer" to use. This could be a business problem (i skip details).

You need to "define" conditions to fullfill so that a "message" (output message) is triggered.

Now you can define per "process" an output type. So for Sales order it can be "X" and for delivery it can be "Y". (or it can be the same).

Now the next step depends on the "blue print". The use of a PRINT_CALL is from my point of view possible. But a "PRINT_CALL" is normally a "one and only" process (so no subsequent shipment of SDS is done).

So the integration to EHS process is done in most cases using "SD_CALL".

And yes: you can triger the SD_CALL from sales order or from delivery. But the exact set up depends from to many conditions which are company specific.

PS: I assume you know that we have a OSS Number which is a "consulting" note. This note explains how to do the set up (either on level of Sales Order or Delivery). You should read this OSS note carefully. BUT IT DOES NOT HELP WITH DETAILS !

May be check: https://blogs.sap.com/2016/04/10/ehs-classic-report-distribution/

Keep in mind: this blog is quite old

PPS: you will find e.g. threads/discussions like:

https://answers.sap.com/questions/121170/sap-ehs-automatic-report-shipping.html

https://answers.sap.com/questions/5523516/configuration-for-ehs-report-distribution.html

So there is some discussion running regarding SAP SD / EHS interface to trigger SDS shipment; but not very often (in the last years especially)

PPS: If you have done still some set up in SAP SD process: Get in touch with SAP SD experts regarding "output management". This week a "very simple error" in set up was detected on our side. it is s "primitive" error. But because of this error the output was not triggered: As we do not know your system/process set up

we can not really help

As a starting point (?): you can analys the SAP SD process by using the "determination analysis options" (here you should get in touch with SAP SD expert)
