REACH: Substance Volume TrackingPurpose

This document is intended for people who want to become familiar with the new SAP EH&S functionality Substance Volume Tracking.

The new European REACH legislation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) requires companies to register substances (NOT (!) materials) which they import into or produce within the EU. Registering means that they have to tell the registration agency about certain properties and also about risks of the relevant substances and how these substances can be handled safely. The amount of data required for such a registration and the amount of time the companies have until they have to deliver this information depends on the yearly amount of imported and produced substance (tonnage bandwidth).

Therefore it is vital for companies to find out their yearly tonnage bandwidth to correctly register their substances in order to become compliant. And after registration it is vital for the companies to control this bandwidth in order to stay compliant.

This is where SAP EH&S Substance Volume Tracking (SVT) comes into the game: It allows companies to find out their effective substance bandwidths as well as to control these bandwidths within the procurement and the production processes in SAP.

PrerequisitesMaster Data and Organizational DataGeneral

Default Values

Essential master and organizational data was created in your ERP system in the implementation phase, such as the data that reflects the organizational structure of your company and master data that suits its operational focus, for example, master data for materials, vendors, and customers.

The business process is enabled with this organization-specific master data, examples are provided in the next section.

Additional Default Values

You can test the scenario with other SAP Best Practices default values that have the same characteristics.

Check your SAP ECC system to find out which other material master data exists.

Using Your Own Master Data

You can also use customized values for any material or organizational data for which you have created master data. For more information on how to create master data, see the Master Data Procedures documentation.

Users

Users needed in scenario

During setup (=Activation of Building Block 857), a user BP_COMPLIANC has been created to get the information mails about SVT. Make sure this user exists in your system and has appropriate authorizations.

Preliminary StepsUpdating Substance and Material Structures

Substance Volume Tracking (SVT) gathers data about product structures, goods movements and production results in the background using reports that normally run regularly at night.

One of these reports is RREGCH_FILL, which gathers product and substance composition information and stores it centrally. This report was run during the installation of building block 857. But it has to be run again whenever bills of material or substance compositions change.

This means: Whenever you change the production BOM or composition of one of the relevant objects, the report has to be run again. In productive customer environments, this report runs once per night; for maximum transparency we run it manually here.

Before start of testing of this scenario make sure that the registered amounts are set to 1t as described in chapter Raise the Registered Amounts or as described below:

To do this, proceed as follows:

Start transaction sa38.

Enter report RREGCH_FILL.

Choose Execute.

Enter regulatory list Reach and select option Delta run.

Choose Execute.

RolesUse

The following roles must have already been installed to test this scenario in the SAP Netweaver Business Client (NWBC). The roles in this Business Process Documentation must be assigned to the user or users testing this scenario. You only need these roles if you are using the NWBC interface. You do not need these roles if you are using the standard SAP GUI.

The business roles have been assigned to the user who is testing this scenario.

Process OverviewExplanation of the Data Models

It is important to understand that REACH talks about substance volumes, not material volumes. But as logistics within SAP works with materials it is important to understand how the system comes from material amounts to substance amounts. This paragraph explains this for the two relevant materials CH-1430 (Solvent) and CH-3300 (EDTA), which are part of our two SVT scenarios here.

Procurement Scenario: Material CH-1430

To understand how Substance Volume Tracking (SVT) works and which amounts are taken into account, please note the following facts (see picture below for details):

To produce CH-3000 (Blue paint), we use material CH-1430 (Solvent) as an ingredient.

In our scenario, the ingredient material CH-1430 (Solvent) has to be purchased.

Material CH-1430 (Solvent) corresponds to substance D185 (Solvent mix 1)

Material CH-1430 has KG (kilograms) as default unit of measurement, which means that SVT does not need to transform volume units (like liters) into mass units (kg, tons) here.

i.e. 1 kg of material CH-1430 corresponds to 1 kg of substance D185

Substance D185 has a certain product composition which drills down to the listed substances Xylene (D501L) and Benzene (D502L).

The final percentages of substances contained within D185 therefore are (see picture below):

Xylene: 40% * 70% = 28%

Benzene: 60% * 90% = 54%

This means: With every 100 kg of Solvent mix (CH-1430) that you order you implicitly order 28 kg of Xylene and 54 kg of Benzene. These are the tracked amounts then.

Production Scenario: Material CH-3300

The production ingredients for material CH-3300 (EDTA) are maintained as Bill of Materials on the Materials Management side. When the new material is produced, the ingredients disappear and a new substance comes to life: D190R (EDTA). It is defined to contain 90% pure EDTA (see slide above).

This means: With every 100 kg of material CH-3300 that you produce you produce 90 kg of the REACH relevant substance D190L.

Explanation of the Tracking Levels

In the settings delivered, the system uses the following values:

Registered amounts

Substances relevant for Blue paint

Xylene (D501L) has been registered for 10 tons

Benzene (D502L) has been registered for 10 tons

Substances relevant for EDTA

EDTA (D190L) has been registered for 1 ton.[footnoteRef:1] [1: One ton actually is the default value that the system uses if you dont enter any limits. For better transparency we still entered this 1 ton explicitly into the system.]

Relative threshold limits

At 70% of the allowed substance amount, the system issues an information message (indicated by a green light)

At 90% of the allowed substance amount, the system issues a warning message (indicated by a yellow light)

At 100% of the allowed substance amount, the system issues an error message (indicated by a red light)

This means that whenever a certain substance exceeds a certain percentage of its allowed total amount, the system reacts with an appropriate message (information, warning, error) within the purchase and production documents.

The system has been set up to track and take into account planned amounts (in contrast to only taking into account confirmed amounts). This makes the behavior stricter, the warnings occur earlier in time and therefore the REACH control mechanisms become safer. But it is also possible to only track confirmed amounts.

Process Steps

The materials used in this process for import and for production are normally only imported or produced within this Substance Volume Tracking process here. If you import or produce the relevant materials additionally in some other scenario, the tracked substance amounts in your system may be higher than those outlined here. You then have to adjust the imported/produced amounts below to meet the targeted warning and error levels for that substance.

Process Variant 1: Substance Volume Tracking within Procurement

For the production of CH-3000 we need material CH-1430 (Solvent) as an ingredient. As we do not produce ingredient CH-1430 ourselves, we have to purchase it. One of our suppliers for this material is located in the US. Because of quality and availability issues we decide to choose that supplier, but that means that this import is REACH relevant as it comes from outside the EU and goes inside the EU.

In a first purchase, the system warns us that we already achieved a relative limit regarding the previously registered amount of 10 tons of the contained substance(s). The Product Safety / Compliance Department automatically gets informed about that situation via email, and they initiate a new, higher registration.

Later on, we need more of that material and order a second time from the US. Because the higher amount registration from the Product Safety Department has not yet been finished in this example here, this order is blocked by the system because of exceeding amounts. You must choose a supplier within the EU to solve that problem then.

Later on, when the process of registration is through, orders from the US are possible again.

Create a Purchase Order for Material CH-1430Use

We need material CH-1430 for the production of material CH-3000 (Blue paint). Therefore we order it from supplier S-1007.

4. Choose Check.

5. An information screen appears informing you that you have reached 70% of your permitted amount of substance D501L and D502L.

Those two substances are contained within the solvent substance (see Standard Composition of substance D185). Therefore they are tracked here.

6. The purchasing department realizes this warning but still can save the purchase order.

Result

A purchase order has been created which raises the amount of imported REACH relevant substances to a certain threshold limit.

Update Tracked AmountsUse

The system permanently has to track purchased and/or produces amounts to be up to date regarding the current limits reached in the company.

This is normally done by a periodic job (e.g. running every night) that collects these amounts. For maximum transparency we manually perform this step here.

2. In the field Program enter RREGCH_VT and choose Execute.

3. On screen Substance Volume Tracking: Tracking of Substance Quantities in field Regulatory List enter value REACH.

4. Check option Delta run.

5. Choose Execute.

Result

The tracked substance amounts have been updated based on purchase and production orders.

Create a Second Purchase Order for Material CH-1430Use

We need more material CH-1430 for the production of material CH-3000 (Blue paint). Therefore we order additional amounts from our US (non EU) supplier.

Procedure

1. Repeat step 1 from chapter Create a Purchase Order for Material CH-1430.

2. Repeat step 2 from chapter Create a Purchase Order for Material CH-1430 but this time choose a PO Quantity of 5500 kg.

3. Choose Check.

4. Choose Save.

5. An additional screen informs you about the error that the registered limit of 10 tons for the two contained substances has been exceeded.

6. The purchasing department realizes this warning but still can save the purchase order. In the background, the Product Safety / Compliance Department gets informed about this situation automatically.

It is technically not possible to block the purchasing document. You only get an additional window telling you that there are errors in the document. If you ignore this, saving is still allowed. The suggested procedure for the purchase clerk here is to block the problematic document position manually and then save. This excludes the locked position from the order and also from the checks. After the re-registration (see following steps), the position can be unlocked again and processed normally.

Result

The Procurement Clerk has been shown the information about exceeded amounts for the substances involved in this process. Automatically, the compliance department has been informed about this fact and reacts upon this (see following paragraph).

The Product Safety / Compliance Department has automatically been informed about that situation.

Update Tracked Amounts

See previous chapter Update Tracked Amounts.

Information to the Compliance DepartmentUse

The compliance department gets automatic information whenever warning and error limits of SVT are reached or exceeded.

During setup (= Building Block 857), a user BP_COMPLIANC has been customized to get the information mails about SVT. If you have changed this user to a different one, please use that user in the following process.

Procedure

1. Log on to the SAP system as user BP_COMPLIANC, initial password is initial.

2. Access your inbox choosing one of the following navigation options:

3. Open your inbox.

4. Open your unread documents with title Imported purchased quantities. To further investigate upon these quantities, the compliance officer also wants to have a look into the complete list of tracked amounts to get the whole picture. He therefore proceeds as follows:

You find all the relevant amounts in the list. Please especially note the following columns:

a. Scenario and Scenario category

b. Planned Quantity (value X = Yes, = No)

c. Material, specification and tracked substance

d. Object entry, attribute and key value (describes from which document this entry comes)

e. Quantity and unit of measurement

f. Overall status (cumulated status for the respective substance)

g. Quantity limit and threshold value (the limits used in the calculation)

You can temporarily or permanently adjust the columns shown and their sequence by choosing Change layout.

Result

The Compliance Officer now has a complete overview of the status of the REACH relevant substances and knows which ones are close to their limits or even over them. He needs to take appropriate steps now.

Raise the Registered AmountsUse

The Compliance Officer realizes through the previous step that there is work to do because the originally registered substance amount of 10tons was too low. A re-registration process is triggered with the aim of raising this amount to the next registration threshold of 100tons.

After the company has passed this re-registration process (which normally takes quite a bit of time) and now is allowed to import higher amounts, these new amounts get entered into the system for the relevant substances.

2. Choose Specification Search.

3. Choose New Search.

4. In the coming up search screen on the right side enter in field Specification the value D50*L and choose Enter.

This shows you all substances in the system with a matching key. You also find substances D501L and D502L, which are the tracked substances in our example here.

5. Double click on substance D501L in the list

6. Make sure the standard properties tree is displayed in the lower left part of the Substance Workbench.

Check this by checking at the field Description (= column 2) of that property tree. It should say STANDARD.

If needed, change the tree by choosing Other property tree, located in the button bar above the tree.

7. Double click the registration property using the following path within the STANDARD property tree:

Standard Properties Regulations Notification/Reporting International Registration (Company-Specific)

If this property does not carry any (suitable) values, the system works with a standard threshold amount of 1ton.

8. Raise the Registered Quantity value in the Value Assignments tab from 10t to 100t

9. Go back to the hit list by pressing Back and repeat the above steps for substance D502L.

10. Choose Save.

The internal update of the SVT structures regarding this new information is normally done by a regular job running during the night. For maximum transparency, this job is run manually here.

11. Start transaction sa38.

12. Enter program RREGCH_FILL.

13. Choose Execute.

14. On the reports parameter screen

choose regulation REACH and

choose option Delta run.

15. Choose Execute.

16. When asked whether you want to run the report in the foreground, answer Yes.

Result

Higher amounts for substances D501L and D502L have been entered and these new limits have been transferred to the SVT control and tracking tables.

Create a Third Purchase Order for Material CH-1430

Repeat the steps from chapter Create a Purchase Order for Material CH-1430. This time there are no warnings or errors because the system now calculates and checks against the higher amounts.

Process variant 2: Substance Volume Tracking within Manufacturing

Besides the Blue Paint, your company also produces the chemical product EDTA (Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid), which has a wide range of applications in the industry. But as it is a substance which is actually produced through a chemical reaction (and not just a mixture of existing substances), it is REACH relevant and has to be tracked.

The SVT functionality within SAP EH&S can distinguish whether new substances are produced (i.e. a chemical reaction takes place REACH relevant) or whether just existing substances are mixed (i.e. no chemical reaction takes place not REACH relevant). This is done by comparing the ingredients and their amounts with the results and their amounts.

Create a Process Order for Material CH-3300Use

In a first step we create a process order to produce material CH-3300 (EDTA).

Prerequisites

Make sure you have enough stock of the following materials:

CH-1200Ethylendiamine

CH-1210Formaldehyde

CH-1220Sodium cyanide

5. In section Scheduling choose Type = Current date

6. In section Quantities enter 840 kg into the field Total Qty.

840 kg of material CH-3300 corresponds to 840 kg of substance D190R

840 kg of substance D190R corresponds to effectively 756 kg EDTA (90% pureness according to substance composition).

As we have a first warning limit of 70% (70% of 1 ton = 700 kg), we are now above the first warning limit.

7. Choose Release.

8. Choose Save.

You now get an information screen informing you about the fact that you have exceeded the first threshold of 70% of your allowed substance amount of 1 ton.

This is done with an information message (green lights).

9. Keep the process order in mind or make a note of it because you will need it again later.

Result

A process order has been created which raises the amount of produced REACH relevant substance EDTA over the threshold limit of 70%.



Create an additional Process Order for Material CH-3300Use

We show here that it is possible to actively block the release of a process order if certain REACH limits have been reached.

Procedure

Repeat the steps from chapter Create a Process Order for Material CH-3300. This time you get an error that prevents you from releasing the document.

In the background, the system automatically informs the Compliance Department. This is done by sending an email. The following process step refers to this.

Result

The process order can be saved, but it can not be released due to the fact that 1 ton of produced substance would be exceeded. You have to wait for the registration of higher amounts to be able to proceed. The Compliance department has automatically been informed about that situation.



Information to the Compliance Department

See previous chapter Information to the Compliance department.

Raise the Registered Amounts

Repeat steps from previous chapter Raise the Registered Amounts; use the following differing settings:

Use substance D190L as well for the substance search as for the double click on the hit list.

Instead of changing a pre-existing instance of property Registration (Company-Specific), create a new instance with the following values:

Regulatory list = REACH

Legal entity = 1000

Plant = 1000

Registration date = 1.1.2008

Expiry date of registration = 31.12.2020

Registered quantity = 10 t

Release Saved (but not yet released) Process Order for Material CH-3300Use

We show here that after re-registration and raising the allowed substance amount the production process is no longer blocked.

3. Release the process order by pressing Release. Note that this time this is possible without errors or warnings. This is due to the fact that now we have a higher threshold for the relevant substance.

4. Choose Save and leave the transaction.

Instead of changing the existing process order, you can also create and release a new process order as shown in step Create a Process Order for Material CH-3300 to show that production is possible again.

Result

This time you dont get any warnings or errors; the process order can be release and saved without problems.

Follow-Up Process: Writing Back Tracked Amounts to the Relevant SubstancesUse

So far we have tracked the substance amounts in special tracking tables and have used these amounts to check the purchase and production documents. To view tracked amounts, a special transaction (cbrc20) is available that gives an overview of all tracked amounts.

To also have information about produced or consumed amounts on the substance level (i.e. stored at the object Substance), it is possible to write back the currently tracked amounts to all the affected substances.

This might be useful for a substance centric overview (EH&S Substance Information System) as well as for printing such information on EH&S substance reports.

Prerequisites

Substances amounts have been generated and tracked as pointed out in the previous chapter Process Steps.

Procedure

The report used below normally is scheduled on a regular basis in the background of your system. For maximum transparency we start it manually here.

To write back tracked substance volumes into the EH&S properties of the affected substances proceed as follows:

1. Open transaction sa38.

2. Enter Program RREGCH_VT_CONDENSE_SAVE

3. Choose Execute

4. On the following screen enter

Regulatory List: REACH

De-activate option Retain last entry

Activate option Data Retention

5. Choose Execute.

6. Leave the transaction.

Note that this report normally only transfers confirmed amounts (see documentation of report). The system has been set up to also take into account planned amounts to keep the processes simpler by avoiding the necessity for confirmation of purchased and produced amounts.

To check the results of this data transfer, navigate into the Substance Workbench as follows:

1. Access the Substance Workbench choosing one of the following navigation options:
