Order (SAP Library - Work Clearance Management (PM-WCM))

Order

Definition

An order is used for planning maintenance tasks as well as for planning and tracking the ensuing costs.

In order to ensure that work safety measures are performed for maintenance work tasks, you must activate Work Clearance Management for maintenance orders. These orders are marked as WCM-relevant orders.

Use

The linking of orders to Work Clearance Management takes place at the header level of the order.

You cannot perform the maintenance tasks for WCM-relevant orders, until you have issued the "Released for execution". The "Release for execution" is independent of the architecture of Work Clearance Management and whether the valuation was activated.

Caution

The "Release" of the order (status REL) does no influence the "Released for execution" (Status EXEC) in Work Clearance Management. You can use this to set the order release considerably earlier than setting the "Released for execution".

You can use the order data as a basis for automatically generating WCM objects.

The following graphic shows the order processing with valuation.

Structure

Standard Model

In the standard model the order is assigned to the work clearance application. The "Release for execution" in the order is controlled by the work clearance application.

Note

Note the following assignment rule:

An order can only be assigned to one work clearance application. A work clearance application can, however, be assigned to several orders. (Assignment rule R1)

Enhanced Model

In the enhanced model the order is assigned to the work approval. The "Release for execution" in the order is controlled by the work approval.

Note

Note the following assignment rule:

An order can only be assigned to one work approval. A work approval can, however, be assigned to several orders. (assignment rule R3)
