Course information
Course Summary
Increased environmental awareness and safety expectations have led to increasingly complex product requirements. Related regulations have been issued at various levels, ranging from the United Nations to multi-national level, such as the European Union, and to national and regional authorities, as well as from industry associations to company-specific policies. To protect brand value and company revenue, understanding and compliance with regulatory obligations and product promises is critical.
With product compliance management, companies ensure that everyone involved along the value chain knows and complies with all the regulatory requirements. Depending on the product and the markets in which companies operate, this can be quite challenging. SAP helps companies manage their product compliance obligations by embedding them into a solution that covers every step of the product lifecycle.
This course provides an introduction to SAP S/4HANA for product compliance. In it, you’ll get an overview of how the solution helps you to manage regulatory requirements, track substances, assess supplier materials, classify products, and manage and ship compliance documents.
