Material Extension
Following MOC procedure plants are obligated to review existing MOC process every two to three years, therefore valid MOC ID is mandatory component for Raw Material and Packaging plant extension, this information should be provided by requester any time material should be created for a new plant.
HazCom Team should be involved in Raw Material activation process due to their responsibility to verify MSDS (ZPRC) code validity and correctness. They will also verify whether existing MOC ID can still be used.
Note!Raw Materials and Packaging should not be extended to Trading plants (8572 – MX, 8573 – CL, 8571 – PE, 8580 – NL, 7788 – ID, 7786 – AU, 8574 - CN).
Note! For Raw Materials and Packaging Sales Organization and Distribution Channel should not be filled by creation, but can be requested upon plant extension if material will have stock transfer from one plant to another (Intercompany only). Please ask approval from Danyse Ryan/Jane Sims for raw material extension to Sales Organization and Distribution Channel.
Note! The Industrial Materials (ZERS) can be extended from one plant to another, however there might be cases when the specifications for a plant differs from the other. In such cases when the extension is requested, always contact all plants (Buyers) to confirm if indeed they are the same material with the same specifications.
