• Key Concepts: 
  Tonnage band is a feature of the EHS-ERP EHS Management in ERP component of SAP. It is used to define the amount of hazardous material that can be stored in a particular area. The tonnage band is based on the total weight of the hazardous material stored in the area, and it is used to ensure that the amount of hazardous material stored in an area does not exceed a certain limit. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use tonnage band, first you need to define the maximum weight of hazardous material that can be stored in an area. This can be done by setting up a tonnage band for each area. Once the tonnage band has been set up, you can then monitor the amount of hazardous material stored in each area by checking the tonnage band. If the amount of hazardous material stored in an area exceeds the tonnage band, then you need to take action to reduce the amount of hazardous material stored in that area. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to regularly monitor the tonnage band for each area to ensure that it is not exceeded. This will help to ensure that the amount of hazardous material stored in an area does not exceed a certain limit and will help to reduce any potential risks associated with storing too much hazardous material in an area.
