We are planning to participate in Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN). For that additional master data must be defined and managed.
SAP does not provide standard solutions for this requirement.
We use EHSM for GLM and other functions. We therefore have substances defined for materials.
We envision expanding the property tree to include GDSN related attributes which define the related material assigned. Custom programs will be used to report the attributes as required. The GDSN attributes are not required or related to GLM or other typical EHSM functions.
My question - would it be inappropriate or incorrect to use the specification database in this manner? What would be the pro/con of this usage we need to be aware of?
