Data Sheet Products

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are required for items classified as dangerous goods. An MSDS is a preprinted document containing chemical content and poison information, handling and storage instructions, and warnings about the nature of the product. The Data Sheet is sent to the client:

  • With the first order of a product classified as dangerous goods.

  • When changes are made to the Data Sheet.

  • Every 3 years if no changes are made to the Data Sheet.

Using the DP Product Type:

  1. Each Data Sheet is assigned a Product Code in Maintain Inventory Master (IM13) with a Type of DP.

    • When the Data Sheet is revised, the revision date is entered on the master file record (IM13/Misc folder) for the Data Sheet in the DS Date field.

  2. For each dangerous good product, a corresponding Data Sheet Product Code is entered into the MSDS Product field in IM13/Misc folder.

  3. When the dangerous good is ordered, a product detail line is automatically added to the Sales Order identifying the Data Sheet to be picked and packed along with the order.

  4. When the dangerous good is ordered again by the same customer, the Data Sheet is automatically added to the Sales Order only if the Data Sheet has been revised or if the customer has not received the Data Sheet in the last 3 years.
    • The 3 year period is determined by comparing the Sales Order date to the DS Date on the Data Sheet master file record (IM13).
