Note that you can click the button (or press F5) to invoke field help at any time from within the job panel itself.

Business Benefits

The Hazardous Materials system satisfies basic shipping and material handling requirements, providing a legal shipping document. Before Hazardous Materials can be processed in the Warehouse, the necessary Hazardous information needs to be set up first. This program provides this maintenance functionality.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see HM - Hazardous Materials.

Usage

Hazardous definitions for each Product can be set up either directly in this program or else accessed via program CR.62 [Client's Inventory Products] when entering Y in Field 19 (Hazardous Goods).

In either case, the system takes you to the same program.

If this program is used directly, Products must already exist in program CR.62 [Client's Inventory Products].
