SI PRO and 3E ERC+ SUITE: THE SOLUTION FOR PRODUCT SAFETY
The main motivation for using a content solution is the availability of regulatory, physical-chemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological data for the creation of regulatory documents such as safety data sheets or labels, and, more generally, for providing the data for use in supply chain processes.
With SAP Product Compliance or SAP EHS Classic, you have chosen one of the most versatile and powerful systems for solutions related to product safety and product stewardship. To be able to use all the functions of SAP EHS with maximum efficiency, it is recommended to implement a content package. The content provider 3E (formerly Verisk 3E) has expanded its widely used EHS Regulatory Content (ERC) with additional components and offers this package to its customers and interested companies as ERC+ Suite. The seamless integration into the existing SAP systems as well as the intuitive and easy operation of the components of the 3E ERC+ Suite ensures excellent acceptance among your company's employees who take on tasks in the areas of product safety and stewardship.
The additional functionality gained through this expansion of the former ERC will continue to help you in the future to confidently master the ever-growing requirements in the areas of product safety, stewardship and compliance. 3E is also the strategic development partner for SAP S/4HANA for Product Compliance. Together with SAP, 3E is working on future functionalities for the provision of master data, creation of safety data sheets, marketability checks, dangerous goods, software and service features, as well as product compliance workflows. In Addition, 3E collaborates with SAP user groups such as ASUG, DSAG, and JSUG, and continuously monitors global regulatory developments across economic regions.
Together, 3E with the 3E ERC+ SUITE and SI PRO consulting implementation services meet solution requirements across the following key areas.
Below, the components of the 3E ERC+ SUITE and SI PRO consulting services are described and visually summarized in an overview.
Regulatory Intelligence
Automated creation of safety data sheets, dangerous goods declarations, and marketability checks. SI PRO configures the content package according to company-specific functional and technical requirements.
Dangerous Goods
Compliance checks for dangerous goods regulations. SI PRO sets up master data provisioning and dangerous goods checks along the supply chain in accordance with relevant regulations. Integration with SAP Digital Supply Chain (SAP SD sales orders, LES deliveries, TM transport, EWM warehousing) enables the use of special provisions and exemptions such as LQ/EQ, the 1,000-point rule, viscosity exemptions, etc.
Marketability
Product marketability checks. SI PRO configures master data provisioning and marketability assessments in the supply chain according to applicable regulations.
SDS Publishing to the Market
SI PRO sets up your content package to ensure that generated safety data sheets are automatically made available on both the internet and intranet.
Exposure Scenario Conversion for eSDS – ESComXML
System communication for extended safety data sheet (eSDS) processes using ESComXML (Exposure Scenario Communication XML). SI PRO configures the system so that the generation and distribution of the eSDS occur during outbound SDS processing. For inbound processing, SI PRO configures the system so that the information from ESComXML exposure scenario files can be imported into the system and assigned to substances or materials and their respective suppliers.
Global Incident Response Hotline
3E offers a 24/7/365 incident response hotline for product-related incidents. SI PRO integrates the relevant contact information into safety data sheets and labels.
Regulatory Monitoring & News
3E provides a portal and integration solutions for regulatory knowledge and news. SI PRO offers integration solutions to link regulatory updates with substance data, SAP materials, and business partner data to identify target markets and relevant news.
EU Poison Centre Notification – Notify
The 3E ERC+ SUITE supports EU PCN notifications through the Notify tool. SI PRO has extensive experience implementing this functionality in numerous successfully completed projects.
S/4HANA Hybrid Adapter
Supports data and functional integration between SAP EHS Classic and SAP S/4HANA for Product Compliance for SDS creation. SI PRO brings experience from evaluations and implementations and understands how to adapt and extend the solution for company-specific processes and needs.
Cloud Content Loader (CCL)
The latest tool for importing data from ERC and the Toxicology Data Manager (PCTEC), intended to replace the Open Content Connector in the medium term. SI PRO provides advice and support during the transition. With its modern architecture and REST API connection, the CCL allows filtering data by industry, region, etc., with both custom and shared filters. SI PRO draws on real-world customer implementation experience.
Toxicology Data Manager – PCTEC 2.0
3E provides physical-chemical, toxicological, and ecotoxicological data that can be easily imported into the SAP system via the Cloud Content Loader. This significantly reduces the manual workload for the departments responsible for data maintenance. SI PRO has been supporting the implementation of this solution since its first version.
SI PRO Content Update Services
We support our customers with regular updates to ERC+ components such as ERC and Notify. SI PRO has developed best-practice approaches and can accommodate customer-specific changes in templates, phrase catalogs, and rule sets—or revert them back to standard if desired.
SI PRO Best Practices
With extensive experience from numerous implementation and migration projects, SI PRO offers proven approaches, including structured project plans, templates, pre-designed workshops, customizing data, test cases, and more. This ensures optimal conditions for successful project outcomes.
SI PRO SAP AI Integration
SI PRO integrates artificial intelligence (AI) solutions with SAP Product Compliance—for example, AI-based extraction of supplier safety data sheets and mapping to ERC content.
CENTRAL ACTIVITIES OF SI PRO IN THE SAP EHS FIELD
SI PRO CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE 3E ERC+ SUITE
As a partner of 3E, SI PRO is happy to support you in implementing the 3E ERC+ Suite in your SAP Product Compliance or EHS classic system.
Even if you are not using SAP Product Compliance or EHS classic yet, we will be happy to help you plan and execute the project steps required for its implementation and then also implement the useful components of the 3E ERC+ Suite in your SAP EHS system.
Our experienced consultants first analyze your system and your business processes in order to find, together with you, the ideal
SAP EHS-based solution for your company.
The identified solution often also includes the implementation of one or more components of the 3E ERC+ Suite, e.g. ERC and PCTEC for the SDS creation and management of dangerous goods or 3E Notify for poison center notifications.
SI PRO will also provide support for the implementation of updates for the used ERC+ components as well as for your implemented EHS solution.
After introducing a new system and/or the product of an alternative content provider, it usually makes sense to migrate data from the legacy system(s) to the new system.
SI PRO also has extensive experience in this topic, which comes from numerous migration projects with different source systems, e.g. ChemGes, Sphera or WERCS.
The data structures in the source and target systems are often significantly different, so that the data must first be converted before being transferred to the EHS system where it will be further used and updated using the 3E ERC+ Suite.
Are you planning to switch from your current system to SAP EHS with the 3E ERC+ Suite? Talk to us, we will be happy to help you!
The 3E ERC+ Suite already offers a variety of data, rule sets and report templates to help you fulfill your regulatory obligations.
However, there are often additional requirements that can be implemented with the help of additional solutions tailored to the respective customer requirements.
SI PRO can provide support by developing own expert rules, by adapting or completely developing own WWI report templates.
(e.g. for hazardous substance and/or dangerous goods labels) or by implementing previously determined requirements by developing own function modules and reports.
We always ensure the best possible integration into your existing system and other processes as well as smooth interaction with the components of the 3E ERC+ Suite.
