Dear EHS Experts,

Im trying to assign an output type (SDB - MatSafeDataSheet) in my delivery however i was prompted with a message stating "No communication data has been defined for transmission medium 8". Can you please guide me to the rightful execution. I have checked the configuration and seems fine. I also maintained a condition record for the said output type with Sales Org/Customer number and Sales Org/delivery type combination and still encountering the error. Can somebody enlighten me please? Thanks!

Kind regards,

Mark

Dear Mark,

As I understand that, you have done the configuraiton part but based on error you have mentioned, it seems that, you have not scheduled the Background Jobs.

You need to schedule

1) WWI backgound Jobs

2) Report Shipping Background Jobs

Please complete this activity as well.

Dear Mark,

Setting up Background Jobs is a stepwise procedure.

You can use the Tcode SM36 to schedule the Job and can take a overview of all scheduled Jobs via  SM37

Hi Mark,

Based on the Error you mentioend, It looks like the problem in Condition records and customer master.

I would like to know, when you are getting this error?

while saving the delivery - If yes change the condition records as mentioned below.

1. condition records -

Output type SDB

Sales organization - XXXX

Delivery type - LF

Function - SR

Partner - no need to enter, so that it will pick the relevant.

Medium - 8

Dispatch time - 1 (send with periodically scheduled job).

By selecting the above, atleast you would not prompt this kind of messages while saving the delivery.

2. Customer Master -

Under sales area data, under partner functions - "SR" must be maintained.

And also fill the communication fields like - Language, Telephone, Email, standard communication method etc.,

the language what you mentioned here, must be sink with the report language (report generation variant) used. or else the report shipping get rejected due to the released report language not available.

Still you are facing any issues, you can debug the program .....for missed value.

Thanks everyone for the inputs.I really appreciate it. Im sorry for the late reply.

Just to highlight that the intention of the client is somebody from the business (end user) has the access to print the MSDS and not to be sent to any email address of the customer.

Your further input please. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

This can be done in 2 ways

1. from the specification work bench (CGCL2/ CG02BD, etc.,)

Select the substance

Menu > Specification > Reports > Report Information system >

Here you can select the report and Menu > Report > Print

2. And also can be possible from CG50/ CG54

Report status > Released Reports

Specification > enter the specification

............

Click on Report tree symbol in the top left corner

Her you can select the report

Menu > Report > Print.

pre-requisite would be report status in "Released"

Dear Kamal,

Looks like the options are good. I just like to add that the end user should be prompted by the system to print the MSDS during the following occurrences:

1 - First order

2 - 3 years after the receipt of the MSDS

Is there a simpler way to make just to satisfy the requirements above? Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

If you are dealing with manual printing practice and sending it to the customer as a hard copy, how system knows that you have printed for particular customer.

Unless you integrate with the sales cycle, that is not possible to track whether it is a first order or 2-3 years.

Just a simple way to satisfy the requirement is to maintain the XLS by the user with customer details, sent date, etc.,  (Manual tracking)

Dear Kamal,

So you were saying that manual printing cant be done if it will not be integrated with the sales cycle. I tried tcode VT70 and SDB appears there in the delivery. Only shipment number is needed to generate the output. Is it possible that everytime the end user generates the the document (Delivery Receipt/Delivery Note) and SDB, the latter will generate/provide a printable document if it satisfies the condition like ive mentioned above?

Dear Mark

you misinterpret in my opinion the answer of Kamal.

SDS printing: you have two options to "print". The option as described by Kamal (using CG54) and to link the SDS printing to the sales cycle (e.g. referring to TCode CVD1). As Kamal tried to explain to you:

only in the "sales cycle" option you will know the sales orders etc. (this is the "printing reason" so to say)

You need to understand on the top that e..g the customer is receiving the same material many times no new print will happen. Only at the first. Regarind further details of SDS distribution.
Please preapre an inquiry in this FORUM. It has been discussed very often

You can print manually, or you can send manually the SDS via Mail to the customer or via FAX.

Once again: details regarding the configuratin of this is mentioned ofetn in this FORUM

C.B.

PS: you need to understand on the top, that you can do manual printing with or with out cover letter etc. in SDS distribution xou have "bundling" and printing of cover letter on the top.
