SAP EHS vs SAP EHSM 5.0 . Basic Difference between EHS And SAP EHSM

Hi Fellas!!!!

Today I'm going to guide you on the basic difference between the two releases of SAP EHS and EHSM.

EHS is the old and existing solution from SAP. It deals with

Product safety

Dangerous Gooda Management

Hazardous substance Management

Industrial Hygiene and Safety

Occupational Health

Waste Management

and

Basic Data and Tools(to support the above sub modules)

EHSM (SAP EHS Management), is new solution from SAP. This is SAP Netweaver portal based solution. EHSM deals with .....

Incident Management

Risk Assessment

Product Compliance

In both we have Pros. and Cons.

As EHSM is new solution from SAP, hence it holds additional functionality compare to SAP EHS.

EHSM is not part of standard SAP ECC system. seperate licence required.

SAP IHS classic (Industrial Hygiene and Safety) will get only bug fixes by SAP in the future. There will be no new functionality. The new and only tool which will be enhanced etc. in the future will be EHSM actually in version 3.0.

You will find some threads regarding EHSM here as well dealing with "migration" from EHS IHS classic to EHSM.

So if you need to start a new projetc in the area of EHS IHS then you should take a look on EHSM. To a certain extent (to my knowlegde) you will need SAP EHS in the background in any case. Internally EHSM does have different structures in comparison to EHS IHS.

Feel Free to comment if you have any doubts. I'd try my best to troubleshoot your queries and will guide you through!!.

Thanks,
