The determination of the dangerous goods regulations for the departure and the destination country/region are based on the settings in the "Apply Regulations - Dangerous Goods" app.

Learn about dangerous goods processing in Outbound Delivery and monitor deliveries with dangerous goods.
When creating an outbound delivery from a sales order, which contains products classified as dangerous goods, the system automatically checks again the transport permissibility regarding applicable dangerous goods regulations and related modes of transport.
If no released dangerous goods assessments exist for an item in a sales document, a launchpad notification is sent to the dangerous goods expert. From the launchpad notification the dangerous goods specialist can directly navigate to the product the needs attention.
Parallel to the creation of the launchpad notification, a request from logistics is automatically created in the background in status "In Assessment" so that the sales document can be rechecked as soon as the dangerous goods specialist has finished the assessment. If the recheck was successful, the request from logistics is automatically closed.
If an outbound delivery is created, for example, from a sales order, the dangerous goods check is automatically executed. If there are any issues, this is indicated in the status line by a warning message. Items that have a blocked status are not taken over into the outbound delivery.
The aggregated header status is shown in the "General Information" tab.
The item status is shown on item level in the header of the item.
On the "Items" tab, you can use the "Settings" action and include the item status into the table.
For each item, you can directly navigate to the "Compliance Information For Products" app to find out why a certain item status has been set.
You can use the "Adapt Filters" action and include the header status for filtering.
You can use the "Settings" action of the results list and include the header status.

The "Compliance Information For Products – Dangerous Goods"" app provides an overview on the transport permission of a packaged product. You can either view the details on the world map or in the table view.
In the details, you can see why the transport is restricted, for example, in the US for the product used in the sales order:
Rail passenger is forbidden in the US and in addition air cargo and air passenger are also forbidden.
Another example: You can see that in Germany, all domestic modes of transport are allowed, but aircraft cargo and aircraft passenger are forbidden.
On the table view, you can search for any country/region and view also the details regarding transport permission.
