Changes can introduce new hazards or compromise existing safeguards. Poorly managed changes can have severe consequences, including incidents, injuries, environmental damage, and financial losses. SAP Management of Change (MoC) provides a systematic process for managing risks associated with changes to process chemicals, technology, equipment, procedures, and organizational structures.
Chemical-Related Change Management
Chemical-related change management embeds chemical workplace compliance into the change process. For incidents involving chemical releases,such as spills or exposure, the record directly references substances defined in the Chemical Management module. As an incident manager, you can create and edit chemical details using revisions in the Manage Chemicals app.
Technical Prerequisites
To integrate with SAP Management of Change, you must be an assigned business partner with the Change Management Coordinator (SAP_BR_CHG_MGMT_COORDINATOR) business role. Additionally, you must define the required change request types in Customizing for SAP Management of Change.
