The data in REACH statistics file is based on the substance information in the Item file as well as the inventory transactions into stock. Since the REACH statistics file is not updated during purchase order reception, this is the starting point for retrieving all applicable inventory transactions from the inventory transaction file, and must be run before you create the REACH report. You perform the update of statistical information into the REACH statistics file in either batch or interactive mode.
Depending on the time lapsed and the events that occurred from when you last submitted the REACH report, you can choose to rebuild the REACH statistics file (separate routine), thereby retrieving/updating transactions from a specific transaction date.
The following events cause updates to the REACH statistic file:
- Confirm purchase order reception notes or return orders
- Confirming stock transfers
- Confirming manufacturing work order
The statistics file will be updated when:
- Item arrives to EU area from within or outside the EU.
- Item contains chemical substance information and at least one chemical substance is defined. In addition, the Report flag in the Item file, Substance information panel must be set to YES denoting that the substance will be printed on the REACH report.
- Supplier has not registered the chemical substance.
Note: Manual inventory transactions and inventory movements are not updated in the statistics.
