Definition

For some technical objects certain regulations or conditions must be taken into account when using them or performing maintenance work. These regulations are managed in the system as permits.

Use

When a maintenance task has to be performed for a technical object and you want a special permit for this to be issued in the maintenance order, you must assign this permit to the technical object. You do this in the master record for the technical object.

You can assign permits to the following technical objects:

Structure

Because the term ‘permit’ covers all possible types of regulations or conditions, it is useful to combine individual permits in logical permit categories to achieve a better overview of them. You must define the permit categories, before you create the individual permits in the system.

You can create the individual permits -which can be very varied even within the company - once you have defined the permit category for your system in Customizing for Plant Maintenance , under Define permit categories . For each individual permit, you must specify to which permit category it is assigned.
