Define Purchase Part Emissions from Safety Data Sheet
This feature uses AI to automatically scan a part-related Safety Data Sheet, match it with the correct supplier,
extract relevant substances, and calculate suggested emission levels.
Explanation
Basic emission data is needed to calculate emissions during the procurement process. Use this activity to define
emissions by scanning a part-specific Safety Data Sheet (PDF format). The scanning will:
- Fetch substances from the Safety Data Sheet and match them with substances on the
Substance page and substances already added to the part.
- Suggest new emission levels (Emission per Unit), calculated from maximum emission levels
retrieved from the Safety Data Sheet. The calculation requires emission levels expressed as percentages (%).
Values with UoM or a missing unit are not calculated.
- Allow manual updates of suggested emission levels before saving them to the part.
Note:
- For existing substances on the part, scanning will only suggest new emission levels for substances if they
share the same Default Media Code as on the Substance page.
- New emission levels are calculated based on the substance Unit of Measure as well as the
part Unit of Measure. If the base units (e.g., weight, volume) differ, the new emission level
must be set manually.
- If a substance is not yet connected with the part, scanning will suggest creating a new record with a
calculated emission level.
- Scanning currently only handles Source for Emission: Manual.
Prerequisites
- Substances with valid substance environmental properties must exist.
- The part must have a defined UoM (e.g., weight, volume, etc.) to calculate its emission level.
System Effects
- New emissions per unit and per supplier for the purchase part will be defined.
- A safety data sheet is added as an attachment on the Supplier for Purchase Part
page.
