Key takeaways
- A Compliance Requirement is the digital representation of a regulation, including substance lists, thresholds, and applicable countries.
- A Compliance Pattern defines how compliance is evaluated for a given requirement.
- A Compliance Purpose groups related requirements together for efficient assignment to products.
- The Compliance View is the central compliance profile of a product or raw material.
- Logistic Roles and Compliance View Types determine how an object is classified and which apps and processes it appears in — with the Unpackaged Product serving as the starting point for most compliance processes, and Raw Materials representing purchased inputs with supplier-provided compliance data.
- All of these concepts power the end-to-end process within SAP S/4HANA for product compliance — from defining regulatory requirements to safeguarding compliant operations.
