Additional Applications A WCM object in Work Clearance Management . In addition to a work clearance application, which represents the safety certificate especially for lockout/tagout , it can be necessary to consider additional safety measures, for example, for radiation protection, fire protection, or boiler inspections. These safety measures are represented in the additional applications.
The additional applications can only be used in the enhanced model of work clearance management. They are combined with the work clearance applications under the work approval .
The additional applications are industry specific and necessary if other safety measures must be managed in the system as independent WCM objects.
You have two options for creating additional applications:
You can define them through Customizing settings.
You can use the ABAP Workbench to program them. To facilitate programming and guarantee integration in the enhanced model, a general application is available that can be used as a copy template for programming.
Additional applications are subordinate to the work approval.
Note
Note the following rules of assignment:
An application can be assigned to several work approvals, and vice versa. (Assignment rule R4)
A work approval can be assigned to several applications of an application type. For example, it is possible for several work clearance applications to be assigned to one work approval. (Assignment rule R5)
If you work with work permits , the following additional restriction applies:
An application can only be assigned to one work approval, and only if work permits are created for an operation. One work approval can, however, be assigned to several applications. (Restriction for assignment rule R4)
