 Operational WCD

Definition

A 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 and from a WCD template . In this case, 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 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 usage at header level. The usage controls the operational processing of the lockout/tagout. You can use different usages to control different 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 dependent on the issue of an approval . 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 .

Note the following assignment rule:

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

The following graphic illustrates the possible links:

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

This status can be reset.

MOBI

Data on mobile device

The item is copied to a mobile device.

Therefore it can no longer be switched in the back end.

Item cannot be deactivated

In addition to the system statuses that apply to the header and to the item, the following system statuses can also occur in the item of the Operational WCD:
