Item hazardous material data should be initialized from material code or group code.
When you flag a released product as hazardous material, and go to item hazardous material, you have to select a material code.
The table of material codes contains setup for class, division (=sub-class), packing group, transport category etc. but these are not initialized on the item material codes.
The user has to fill in all these details manually which is error prone.
According to docs it should work:
Material codes
Material codes establish settings that are related to a specific hazardous component that might be included in a released product. Each material code belongs to a specific hazardous material regulation, and its definition must conform to that regulation. When you apply a material code to a released product by using the Material code field, all the material code's hazardous materials settings are automatically applied to that product. Therefore, the process of setting up released products is faster and less prone to error.
Similar request: if the user selects a group, the system should also initialize the settings from the group.
Comments
Problem is solved when Production information management parameter > Product attributes > Update Shipping Print text Items is switch on.
MS case TrackingID#2207130050000394. Case will be closed.
Remaining product improvement areas:
Issues with the parameter Update Shipping Print text Items:
- The parameter label is unclear
- The parameter has no help text
- The parameter label Randomly Uses capitals
- Microsoft docs should describe this parameter in the section of the material code and the material group code.
- I would rather have a parameter Hazardous material initialization where you can specify No / Prompt / Automatic
