Operational WCD (SAP Library - Work Clearance Management (PM-WCM))

Operational WCD

Definition

Work clearance document that is used for the lockout/tagout of technical objects and can therefore be switched.

Use

An Operational WCD can be created both from another Operational WCD as well as from a WCD template. In this process the data from the template is copied completely and is available for further processing.

The advantage in creating from a WCD template is that these lists are of higher quality. When you copy data from another Operational WCD, you should pay particular attention, especially to altered untagging conditions.

The Operational WCD is assigned a use at header level. The use controls the operational processing of the lockout/tagout. You can use different uses to control various operational cycles. The operational cycle is the same for all the items of a work clearance document, because the assignment is made at header level. You can make the switch within the operational cycle depending on an approval issued. This allows you to ensure that the approvals necessary for the switch are issued.

Structure

The Operational WCD is subordinate to the work clearance applications.

In addition to the system statuses that apply for all WCM objects , the following system statuses are also possible for the Operational WCD:

ID	Name	Description
PROC	Processing	The switching has begun.
UNT	Untaggable	The Operational WCD can be untagged The status can be reset.
TEST	Test cycle	A test cycle is allowed for the Operational WCD The status can be reset.

The following table contains the possible system statuses for an item in the Operational WCD:

ID	Name	Description
ITG	Initial tagging status	Initial status for an item to be switched
BTG	Tag	Initial status of tagging phase
PTAG	Tag printed	Print status of tagging phase
ETG	Tagged	Final status of tagging phase Status cannot be suppressed Item cannot be deactivated
BTUG	Untag temporarily	Initial status of temporary untagging phase Item cannot be deactivated
PTST	Test tag printed	Print status of temporary untagging phase
ETUG	Temporarily untagged	Final status of temporary untagging phase Status cannot be suppressed Item cannot be deactivated
BUG	Untag	Initial status of untagging phase Item cannot be deactivated
EUG	Untagged	Final status of untagging phase Status cannot be suppressed
CONF	Conflict	Conflict for item to be switched was ignored
POST	Postscript	Item was added subsequently in change mode
PROT	Operational protection	Operational protection was set for the position to be switched
INAK	Object deactivated	No more changes/activities allowed Status cannot be reset

Note the following assignment rules:

A work clearance application can be assigned to several Operational WCDs, and vice versa. (Assignment rule R2)
