Dangerous Goods
Master data for dangerous goods (ADR): search and filter the dangerous goods table, create, edit and delete dangerous goods, and manage the ADR classification data.
The Dangerous Goods page manages the master data of dangerous goods in accordance with ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road). It lists all recorded dangerous goods with their complete transport and classification details and serves as a reference work for dispatching and order entry. Creating, editing and deleting entries is reserved for Super Administrators; all other users use the page exclusively for viewing.
Note: The page is only available if the Dangerous Goods module is activated for the tenant.
1. Navigation
The dangerous goods overview is accessible via the main menu under Master Data › Dangerous Goods.

Sorting and Column Configuration
Clicking a column header sorts the list by that column. The visible columns and their order can be configured per user; the settings are retained after logging out.
Open an Entry
Double-clicking a row opens the dangerous good in the detail dialog. Super Administrators can edit all details there, while all other users see the dialog in a read-only view.
3. Group Filter
The filter bar lets you restrict the display to a specific organizational group.
- Group selection: Selection of the group whose dangerous goods are to be displayed.
- Current group only: Restricts the display to the selected group. If the option is deactivated, entries of subordinate groups are also displayed.
Note: The filter bar is not available to all users. For subcontractors, the «Current group only» option is hidden.
4. Creating / Editing a Dangerous Good
Note: Creating and editing dangerous goods is only possible for Super Administrators. All other users see the dialog in a read-only view without a save button.
Via the toolbar, a new dangerous good can be recorded or an existing one edited. The dialog is divided into two tabs.
«General» Tab
This is where the basic and multilingual details are recorded:
- Name, Description and Remark – each recordable multilingually (translation per language).
- Reference ID – unique reference number of the entry.
- UN Number – the UN number of the substance.
- Class – the ADR dangerous goods class (mandatory field).
- Multiplication Factor, Entry Type, New Since.
- Subject to ADR and Carriage Prohibited – can be set as flags.
«Data» Tab
This is where the roughly two dozen detailed ADR classification fields are recorded, including classification code, packing group, hazard labels, special provisions, limited and excepted quantity, information on packaging, tank and bulk, transport category, tunnel category, hazard number and route designation.
Procedure
- Click Add in the toolbar (or open an existing entry by double-clicking).
- On the General tab, record the basic details – in particular the mandatory Class entry.
- On the Data tab, fill in the ADR classification fields.
- Click Save.
When saving, the system checks that the Reference ID is not already in use. If the reference ID already exists, saving is rejected with a corresponding message.
5. Deleting Dangerous Goods
Note: Deleting dangerous goods is only possible for Super Administrators. The delete button appears in the toolbar only for these users.
- Mark one or more dangerous goods in the list.
- Click Delete in the toolbar.
- Confirm the security prompt.
The marked entries are removed. Deleting several entries at once (batch operation) is supported.
6. Table Tools
The toolbar of the dangerous goods overview offers the following standard tools:
- Quick search: searches the displayed list across the columns.
- Refresh: reloads the view.
- Select all / Clear selection: marks or unmarks all rows.
- Templates: apply saved view and column configurations.
