Work Permit Management

The role-based content for the simplified planning and execution of maintenance activities supports work permit management. The new Web Dynpro application for creating, changing, and displaying work permits can be accessed from the following applications:

  • Order

  • Order and Notification List

  • Job List

It also possible to perform certain work permit management functions in these applications directly, for example, extend the validity of a work permit and close a work permit.

WCM Object Templates

You can add WCM object templates as safety measures in the safety plan. This makes it possible to have work permits and other WCM objects automatically generated for orders.

WCM Requirements

You can add requirements as safety measures in the safety plan of an order. The system automatically transfers requirements added in the safety plan to any work permits subsequently created for the order. If you are working with SAP BusinessObjects Risk Management, the system can automatically retrieve and apply requirements.
