Defining Hazard Classes
Use this window to define codes for different classes of hazardous materials. You provide the class name, description, and the date after which the class is no longer active. You can assign a hazard class to multiple UN numbers to identify hazardous items.
Purchasing automatically copies hazardous material information onto your documents and prints this information on your purchase orders, RFQs, and Receipt Travelers. Purchasing automatically displays hazardous material information for your receivers.
To define hazard classes:
2. Enter a unique name for each hazard class you want to define. For example, you might provide any of the following classes: Explosive, Poisonous, Toxic.
3. Enter a description for your hazard class. You can use this description to provide a more detailed explanation of the hazard class.
4. Enter the date your hazard class becomes inactive. You cannot use the hazard class after this date.
