Automatic Generation of WCM Objects 

Use

You can automatically generate WCM objects for orders. Through this, all the WCM objects necessary for executing a lockout/tagout are created.

Thus you can generate the corresponding WCM objects, in particular for those orders that were created during the scheduling of maintenance plans.

Prerequisites

The orders have operations with the control key WCM.

A work clearance document template must be provided in the first user field for these operations.

The orders have the status CRTD (Created).

No WCM object has yet been assigned to the orders.

A user does not lock the orders.

Features

Execute program RIWC0016 to generate WCM objects automatically. This executable program:

activates Work Clearance Management for the orders, if necessary

generates and assigns all the WCM objects necessary for a lockout/tagout from the orders

optimizes the number of Operational WCDs

Through this, the system supplies the individual WCM objects with the following data:

The system supplies the corresponding order with the work approval and the work clearance application. The system copies the planning data from the order. It copies the responsible work center from the order header to use as the work center.

The system supplies the Operational WCD with the WCD template. The system copies the planning data from the order.

The following graphic illustrates the automatic generation of WCM objects based on the standard model.
