Foundation for Environment, Health and Safety

This graphic shows the high-level architecture of the different solutions and details of SAP EHS Management as well as their integration in SAP S/4 HANA.

The figure, High-Level Architecture, considers following aspects:

• SAP EHS Management solutions: Incident Management, Health and Safety Management, Environment Management, Management of Change (grey boxes)
• Business objects (yellow boxes)
• Functions: Calculation Engine, Task Scheduler (blue boxes)
• Analytics (green boxes)
• Integration to Business objects of other SAP S/4 HANA modules (note the right-hand side of the figure, for example, Human Resources, Material Management, Plant Maintenance)

The business process of each solution of SAP EHS Management will be described in the other units of this eLearning course.

You can use this component to integrate SAP EHS Management (EHS-MGM) with other components. This enables you to access data in other components from within the EHS-MGM applications and transfer data from EHS-MGM to other components. In addition to simplifying work with the applications, integration also ensures consistency by reusing existing data in different components. If you use integrated data in EHS-MGM, changes to this data are automatically reflected in all applications.

You can also use integration to start EHS-MGM processes involving actions in different components.

In addition to simplifying work with the applications, integration also ensures consistency by reusing existing data in different components. If you use integrated data in EHS, changes to this data are automatically reflected in all applications.

You can also use integration to start EHS processes involving actions in different components.

The following data must always be available in the local system:

• Plants, including description and address data
• Material and material descriptions
• Currencies and exchange rates
• Notification types for PM
• Business partner roles
• Marital status texts for HR persons
• Marital status texts for business partners
• Attendance and absence types
• Shift group and shift planning of the organizational unit
• Organizational data, including organizational units and persons in PA-OS

There are many responsible people, that are involved in numerous activities in the different solutions of SAP EHS Management.

Every company has its own requirements to define, who is responsible for which activity and which authorizations shall be granted.

Authorization objects are grouped in so-called roles. To support the definition of roles, SAP delivers standard roles for exemplary system users, which a common set of authorization objects.

It is recommended to select these standard roles, which are necessary, to copy these roles and refine them by removing or adding specific roles or authorizations to assign it to system users individually. Finally, the authorization administrator assigns these new roles to system users.

In Environment, Health, and Safety, you use specific roles in the application to access content. These roles are designed to support your EHS business processes.

All roles can be used in the SAP Business Client. However, the roles can be used to generate Portal Content for the SAP Enterprise Portal. For more information about creating Portal Content, see SAP Note 2083956 .

All roles are provided without any authorizations assigned to them. You must assign authorizations using the authorization objects in the back-end system.

In addition to these roles, a PFCG role (SAP_EHSM_MASTER) is provided that contains the complete content of the Environment, Health, and Safety application. When creating user-defined roles, SAP recommends you to use each master role as a template and to remove the undesired functions. This ensures that no configurations (for example, IBN settings) are lost.

Technically each business role is defined in the system with a Front-end and Back-end role. They can be different depending on the solution. Detailed information will be provided in EHS expert trainings.

To fulfill your environment, health, and safety (EHS) requirements on a regional and global scale, you can use this component to report, review, and complete incidents, safety observations, and near misses.

This solution provides various methods for reporting the data. After initial reporting, you can collect additional information from the people involved, investigate why an incident (also near miss and safety observation) occurred, and track the financial impact on the organization and its assets. You can also assess risk, report data to internal and external stakeholders to fulfill legal, regulatory, and company reporting responsibilities, and analyze aggregated incident data.

You can access the apps of Incident Management on the SAP Fiori launchpad. Incident Management supports people that occupy the above listed roles.

The SAP EHS Management for SAP S/4HANA, occupational health application supports general employee occupational healthcare in your enterprise, as well as the planning and execution of special health surveillance protocols.

Special surveillance is required for those persons who may be exposed to certain influences of a chemical, physical, or biological nature at their workplace, or who perform activities that pose a health hazard. Health surveillance protocols can also include vaccinations or - as in the United States - random drug tests.

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose one of the following paths:

• Human Resources → Environment, Health and Safety → Occupational Health
• Logistics → Environment, Health and Safety → Occupational Health

You can see the Occupational Health menu path if the role is assigned to your user.

SAP deliver the role auditor (SAP_PLM_AUDITOR) for audit management. As a result, a user to whom this single role is assigned has authorizations for transactions Audit Management and Audit Monitor, as soon as the user and authorization distribution has been completed.

The following roles are defined in audit management. If required, you can define additional roles in Customizing.

Environment Management functionality is available on the SAP Fiori launchpad and supports people that occupy one of the above listed roles.

SAP_BR_PRODN_OPTR_EHS_INFO

SAP_BR_ENVIRONMENTAL_MANAGER

SAP_EHSM_ENV_TECHNICIAN

SAP_EHSM_HSS_ENVMGR

In Management of Change, you use specific roles to access content. These roles are designed to support your business processes.

All roles are provided without any authorizations assigned to them. You must assign authorizations using the authorization objects in the back-end system.

The following NWBC roles are available for SAP Management of Change:

SAP_COCKPIT_MOC_MAIN: This role provides you with access to all of the Management of Change applications:

• Home
• Worklist
• Create Change Request
• Create Change Request - Quick Entry

SAP_COCKPIT_MOC_ANALYTICS: This role provides you with access to analytical data. The change activities you can carry out depend on the authorization roles assigned to your user.

SAP_MOC_SUPPORT: The application-specific read-only role SAP_MOC_SUPPORT can be assigned to users working in remote support. This provides read-only access for checking logs and analyzing data. It is not possible to change existing data or create new data in the customer system.

MOC Authorization Roles: The following authorization roles are available. They determine the change activities you can carry out (application areas) and the functions available on the user interface.

• SAP_AUTH_MOC_ADMIN (Administrator): Creates and changes master data settings
• SAP_AUTH_MOC_REPORTER (Reporter): Initiates the change request
• SAP_AUTH_MOC_APPROVER (Approver): Checks that the activities assigned to the change request are viable
• SAP_AUTH_MOC_COORDINATOR (Coordinator): Triggers and monitors all approvals and activities for a certain change request
• SAP_AUTH_MOC_ACTIVITY_OWNER (Activity Owner): Carries out activities assigned to the change request

You can use the roles in SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC) and SAP NetWeaver Portal.

S/4HANA Business User Management is used in S/4HANA Cloud and in S/4HANA on-premise editions and it is applied in the Environmental, Health, and Safety applications. Business User Management enables and supports the lifecycle maintenance of business users.

For the Business Users in S/4HANA the person, work center and communication related data are derived from the related Business Partner with relation 1:1. This data for Person, Work Center, Communication and Company is persistent and derived from the corresponding Business Partner and no longer redundant in the User Management. The goal is to have a fully integrated lifecycle among the physical person with the corresponding user information.

In SAP S/4HANA, Business Partner is the leading object for the natural person and single entry point to maintain Business Partner, Customer and Supplier (formerly known as Vendor) master data. This is to ensure ease of maintenance of the above master data and to achieve harmonization between them.

Following this once central business user, the Business Partner in S/4HANA is the natural person which contains and persist the person, work center and communication related data. The employee data can be retrieved from the following:

• SAP Success Factors
• SAP Human Capital Management
• Third-party System

You use this component to represent an identified real place, virtual space, or object in the system. The location is a central master data object that can be organized in a structure to represent where a location exists spatially or functionally in a company. Examples of a location are a plant, a piece of equipment, or a work area.

In incident management, locations specify precisely where an incident took place, in health and safety management, locations specify precisely where hazards exist, and in environment management, locations specify precisely where emissions are produced.

The location makes it possible to utilize existing technical objects and functional locations from the Plant Maintenance (PM) component, and work areas from existing EHS solution in Environment, Health, and Safety.

You can create your own locations, or you can import technical objects that already exist in the Plant Maintenance (PM). You can also integrate existing locations that you have already created in your Environment, Health, and Safety system with technical objects from PM.

The user can choose between two types of structure view: The Location Structure and the Organizational Structure.

The Location Structure shows the hierarchy of locations and their sublocations. Under the Location Structure, the user can set a location as My Location. This serves as the starting point in the location hierarchy as it is then displayed as the first node. This avoids displaying the whole location structure.

The Organizational Structure, however, displays the hierarchy of organizational units. HR and Marketing are examples of organizational units. The locations that are assigned to an organizational unit are displayed under the node of the organizational unit. In the Organizational Structure, it is not possible to set a location as My Location.

A chemical is any kind of element, compound, or mixture of elements and/or compounds. Anything made of matter: any liquid, solid, or gas.

When you work with chemicals, your organization is subject to regulatory requirements that govern the use of chemicals and the exposure to your workers. Environment, Health, and Safety enables you to manage chemical data, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect the health and safety of workers that use chemicals.

You can request chemicals and approve them prior to their use in your company. You can enter relevant information for chemicals and use it to assess risk for chemicals. Additionally, you can create documents, such as safety instructions, that are used to inform employees about all health, safety, and personal protection relevant aspects of the chemicals they use.

If you author safety data sheets for your own chemical products by using the specification database of SAP EHS Management as part of SAP ERP or of Product Safety and Stewardship as part of SAP S/4HANA, you can transfer health and safety relevant data from the specification database into business objects of Environment, Health, and Safety. Note that by using this transfer mechanism, data is entered in the SAP ERP EHS system. Environment, Health, and Safety is the receiving system, where you do not change any transferred data.

Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) provides three reports to transfer chemical data from the specification database of SAP EHS Management as part of SAP ERP or of Product Safety and Stewardship as part of SAP S/4HANA to the EHS system for use in health and safety management.

You can use the following reports to replicate data from the specification database to chemical business object in the EHS system:

• Transfer of Phrases:  R_EHFND_PHRASE_TRANSFER
• Transfer of OEL Data:  R_EHFND_FILL_REGL_BY_EHS_SUBST
• Transfer of Chemicals:  R_EHFND_FILL_CHM_BY_EHS_SUBST

The task management process is applicable for some of the solutions in the Environment, Health, and Safety portfolio.

You use tasks to plan and carry out actions or activities related to the business cases covered by the health and safety, incident, and environment management solutions of Environment, Health, and Safety. By using tasks, you can schedule various types of single or recurrent, preventive or corrective actions that optionally require an additional approval; notifications to responsible parties about needed maintenance activities, or requests any further changes and assistance with regard to equipment, assets, or processes.

For the purpose of functional and process clarity the following conceptual descriptions introduce additional task related terms, such as container or host object, task definition, task instance. In many cases, these terms are not displayed in their entirety on the user interfaces. Instead, the apps that cover the renewed and enhanced task management simply refer to tasks and task monitors.

The above figure, Task Management, outlines the different phases that cover the task management processes from their planning and creation to their completion.

The above figure, Overview of Task Management Apps, outlines the apps that cover task management in Environment, Health, and Safety.

There are two type of tasks that can be triggered:

• A task without approver
• A task with approver

On the Tasks tab, you can navigate to the incident tasks (for example) using the Manage Tasks button. When creating the task, you will have to select the type of task you would want to trigger.

On the process diagram you can see the main process of creating, executing and approving the task in the Environmental, Health, and Safety System. With a color indication you can differentiate between the process for a task without approver and with approver.

Depending on the business case, tasks can be created from different solutions in the Environment, Health, and Safety system:

• Risk assessment
• Control Implementation
• Incident
• Incident Investigation Step
• Compliance Scenario
• Compliance Requirement

There are two separate processes for task with and without approver. In the example above, a task has been created from an recorded incident in the system.

For tasks, you need to specify:

• the person who is organizationally responsible, such as a manager as Owner
• the person who performs the work as Assignee
• the person who will verify the implementation as Approver (applicable only for task type with Approval)

As soon as the task execution process has being triggered and depending on the type of task (with or without approver) the system will trigger tasks (workflow) for the assignee, approver and owner. The actors in the task management process receive their tasks in the My Inbox app.

The execusion of the task is performed by the task assignee. As an assignee, you can complete or reject a task execution.

In case of a rejection, the task owner will be notified through a task in the My Inbox app to handle the rejection.

In case of a completion and no approval has been defined in the task definition, the task workflow will be completed. If an approver has been specified, a Handle Rejection task will be sent to the approver in My Inbox.

Once the task assignee rejects the implementation of the task, the owner of the task receives a task in the My Inbox app.

In the work item, the owner of the task has the following options:

• Resend - The Resend option allows the owner of the task to return the task to the assignee. With this option, the owner of the task is  able to change task instance details without changing the due date or the assignee.
• Cancel - The Cancel option allows the owner of the task to cancel the task implementation directly from the My Inbox app without entering the Display Task Instance app.

In order to change the due date or the assignee, the owner of the task needs to enter the Display Task Instance app by choosing Open Task.

In the header of the task, the following options are displayed:

• Cancel Task - allows the owner of the task to cancel the task implementation directly from the My Inbox app without entering the Display Task Instance app.
• Create Deviation - allows the environmental manager in the context of the Environment Management processes to trigger a creation of an incident of type deviation when a specific aspect such as an exceedance has to be reported and analyzed.
• Change Assignee - If a change of the assignee is required, the owner can choose Change Assignee. With the support of a value help, the new person can be selected. The person needs to be a business user in order to appear in the list. Changing the assignee is an operation on a task process level.
• Change Due Date - If a change of the due date is required, the owner of the task can choose Change Due Date. With the support of a value help type calendar view, the new date can be selected. The Due Date cannot be in the past. Changing the due date is an operation on a task process level.

On display of the task instance details, the current steps of the task workflow are also displayed. In addition to the already available options, such as Assign Step to Me and Forward, Resend and Cancel are also available on selection of the current step of the task.

In the case of task with approval, the task approver will receive a task in My Inbox to either approve or reject the task execusion.

If the task approver chooses the Rejected option, the workflow will notify in My Inbox, the task Assignee.

If the task approver chooses the Approved option, the task process will be completed.

You can use this component to generate print forms (such as a report) and interactive forms with data from the application. You can add, remove, and modify the standard reports and questionnaires that are delivered.

You can use the legal reports that are delivered with the standard system as they are, without making any changes.

You should adapt the questionnaires and internal reports that are delivered to your company's internal layout. SAP EHS Management uses the default technology for developing the layout of a form.

Print forms and interactive forms can be used by several components and processes within SAP EHS Management:

• Inquiries and questionnaires to gather additional information from another system user or an external person
• Report forms
• Control evaluations

• Questionnaires, legal reports, and summary reports

  Print forms and interactive forms to request information in a questionnaire, report to authorities, or produce a summary of collected data are delivered. You can generate forms directly from the data record and as part of a process. In some cases, the system suggests forms to support you in complying with legal reporting requirements.

• Send forms using e-mail, print forms, or store forms for offline use

  You can send forms from the data record via e-mail as part of a process. The recipient can send the form back using the Send pushbutton at the end of the form. Since some recipients of a form do not have access to the system, some forms can be stored on an Intranet to complete offline, or printed out and filled out by hand.

• Review data before transferring into a data record

  You can configure forms to provide a review step. When the form is returned, the system generates a task for the sender to review the returned data. This enables you to preview the contents of the form and select which data you want to transfer into the data record.

This function enables you to extract data from the business objects (BOPF) and export it to your front-end computer in file formats such as CSV, Microsoft Excel 2007, or Microsoft Excel 2010. You can use the extracted data later on for performing analytics.

Within several application within the Environmental, Health, and Safety solutions such a file-based reporting has been enabled. The example in the above figure, File-Based Reporting, illustrates the possibility of exporting risk details using file-based reporting.

This component enables you to handle all the processes involved in managing health surveillance protocols in the company health center. You open a medical service for each person who is required to undergo one or more health surveillance protocols on a certain date. A medical service contains all the data that is related to the scheduled protocols, such as work restrictions for health reasons, diagnoses, or examination results. The questionnaires assigned to health surveillance protocols can also be generated for the relevant persons and completed in this component.

Using this procedure, you document brief consultations, for example, when a patient visits the health center briefly for medical advice or is given medication for a headache. You can use a user-defined text editor for support.

The planning cockpit provides you with a complete overview of a series of important scheduling processes in occupational healthcare.

In the planning cockpit, you can manage the following processes:

• Assignment of Health Surveillance Protocols to Persons
• Determination of Persons for a Medical Service
• Scheduling

In the planning cockpit, you can jump to a medical practice calendar whose clear graphical layout allows you to schedule appointments easily.

You can search for and list current managed and assigned Health Surveillance Protocols for persons with their processing status.

This function enables you to create questionnaires in the SAP system that are tailored to your individual requirements. The questions, texts, and headers that you use in the questionnaires are set up and managed in the question catalog as question entries.

You can select between the following:

• A general questionnaire contains a selection of the catalog entries defined in the question catalog. It also serves as a template for specific questionnaires.
• General questionnaires are not assigned to an object, unlike specific questionnaires.

A questionnaire that is assigned to a specific object.

For example, when you open a medical service in the SAP application component Occupational Health, the link to the health surveillance protocol object ensures that a general questionnaire is assigned automatically to the person who is required to answer it. This questionnaire can then be printed out from the medical service screen, or it can be completed online directly in the system.

App is listing all current medical service in an processing status (not closed). You can select single medical services form list and change to different management and information functions for Medical Services.

Occupational Health is integrated into HCM and Organizational Management.  You can setup system, that an automatic Surveillance Protocol determination is taking place. After system determination, you can initiate the adjustment of current person medical Service management with proposed health surveillance protocols.

Health Surveillance Protocol  is set of medical examinations and tests that a person must undergo to enable possible health risks to be recognized, treated and, if need be, prevented. Health surveillance protocols are, for example, necessary when a new employee is hired, or when a person is exposed to certain agents on the job or at the workplace. There are certain examinations assigned to health surveillance protocols that are required as part of the protocol procedure.
