  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 WCD template must be provided in the first user fieldfor 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 .
