Overview Substance Volume Tracking (4OL)
With the Substance Volume tracking (4OL) scope item, you can enable substance volume tracking of confirmed quantities from purchasing, manufacturing, and sales. Substance volume tracking helps you comply with chemical regulations. These regulations require you to track and monitor the volumes of regulated substances that you import into, produce, or export to a country or region within a certain period.
Substance volume tracking is integrated with the logistic processes for purchasing, manufacturing, and sales and tracks, calculates, aggregates, and monitors the imported, produced, and exported substance volumes that result from the processes.
