• Key Concepts: 
  Operational WCD (Work Clearance Management) is a component of SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) that helps to manage and control the clearance of work orders. It enables users to define and manage the clearance process for work orders, including the approval process, the required documents, and the associated costs. It also provides a central repository for all related documents and information. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Operational WCD can be used to define the clearance process for work orders. This includes setting up the approval process, defining the required documents, and setting up the associated costs. Once the clearance process is defined, users can then assign it to specific work orders. The system will then track and monitor the progress of each work order through its clearance process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the clearance process for a work order, it is important to ensure that all required documents are included in the process. This will help to ensure that all necessary information is collected and that all approvals are obtained before the work order is completed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all associated costs are accurately tracked and reported.
