Dear Sruthi
c) Also, the MSDS does not appear in CVD1. What could be the potential reasons?
CVD1 is the transaction regarding saftey data distribution; in CVD1 a "report request" appear and later the final document is shonw but CVd1 does not "really" generate a document (only mixing rar report with parameter data)
IF SAP SD <=> EH&S interface is not prepared properly no request will be passed on to EHS& and no request will be genearetd in CVD1
e) what is the difference between CG56/CG54 and CVD1?
I assume there is a "misytpe" in your qursiotn and you are referring to CG50, Cg54 and CVD1
CG50 => transaction to e.g. release a WWI document
CG54 => report informaiotn system => you can display docuemnt and distrbute them (in background requests are generated which show up in CVD1(
f) When we upload an external MSDS in pdf format using CG36VEN, will this MSDS appear in CVD1 for printing without the WWI server?
No. You need alwysa WWI up and running. In most cases the external MSDS is of type "pdf". In CVD1 this document is "converted" by using WWI in a SAP print stream
g) Any thoughts on how the MSDS can be printed along with the Delivery note... we are looking at a scenario where msds is from legacy, but has to be interfaced with sap to be printed along with the delivery note, without using WWI.. we are assuming that the cover sheet and acknowledgement will also be provided by the legacy system..
No Chance. You must use WWI to use CVD1 etc. NO chance regarding acknolegement and cover letter without WWI. The whole SAP EHS SDS distrbution process only works by using WWI (and CVd1)
