The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Permit to Work - Work Permit Template in S/4 HANA.
Permit to Work in Work Clearance Management (WCM) provides a systematic approach in controlling and executing the operational and maintenance activities safely and efficiently in a worksite. The Permit to Work solution helps to manage the risks inherent to hazardous tasks and ensure that the necessary precautions are put in place to improve the safety of personnel, plant, and the environment.
To provide authorization for jobs that require high-risk activities, Permit to Work provides Work Permit, a formal printed document with the description of the work, the requirements to be fulfilled, and the safety measures to be followed. A work permit authorizes the receiver to carry out the specified work at the specified time and acts as an agreement between the issuer and the receiver about the conditions, risks, and precautions involved.
A Work Permit Template provides a predesigned structure that can be used to create work permits in a consistent format. Creating work permits using a template allows you to simplify and streamline the work permit generation process.
The scope of this document covers the approach for creating Work Permit Template into S/4HANA following the Permit to Work Template Master Data Design Standard.
List of source systems and approximate number of records
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
DCT | This object is collection, so no relevancy criteria is applicable. For all sites implementing Work Permit solution in SyWay, Work Permit Template will be collected directly in DCT | N/A | S/4 HANA | <to be updated based on confirmation from functional team> |
Summarize Multi-language Requirement/s, if any
Summarize Document Management requirement, if any
Summarize Legal Requirement/s, if any
Specify any special requirements or considerations that may impact the data conversion process based on specific locations, regulatory compliance or system limitations. Clearly outline any regional or localization requirements such as country-specific data formats, legal reporting obligations or industry standards that must be adhered to (e.g., localization rules for countries like China).
If the data conversion involves third-party systems or external data sources, such as Icertis, describe any additional requirements related to data mapping, transformation logic, validation rules or security measures that must be followed.
Work Permit Template Data strictly adheres to the Master Data Standard. The complete information of the key fields that hold the Permit to Work Template information follows the Master Data Standard document <include hyperlink>.
Work Permit Template is managed using Fiori Application and the data sits within CDS views. The technical design of the target for this conversion approach.

Work Permit Template doesn't exist in legacy and therefore data cleansing is not applicable.
Data for Work Permit Template will be populated directly in the Data Collection Template (DCT) and any data refinement required will be performed as part of the construction activity.
If data cleansing is managed outside of the source system (e.g. Syniti Migrate, 3rd Party Vendor, DCT), the necessary documentation must be produced and appended to this deliverable for sign-off.

The high-level process for DCT is represented by the diagram below:
Collection will be done manually in the Data Collection Template for A2D In-scope Planning Plants

The Target fields are mapped to the applicable Legacy field that will be its source, this is a 3-way activity involving the Business, Functional team and Data team. This identifies the transformation activity required to allow Syniti Migrate to make the data Target ready:
| Item # | Step Description | Team Responsible |
|---|---|---|
1 | Obtain DCT Sign-off from Business. | SyWay Data Team |
2 | In dspMigrate, select the wave –R3 S4/HANA – Plant Maintenance | Syniti |
3 | Go to Process Area Launch and Process the Object – Work Permit Template | Syniti |
4 | Review and Validate Error and Preload Reports | Syniti |
5 | Execute the transformation to prepare the target tables | Syniti |
6 | Validate data from pre-load and error reports | Business/Data owner |
7 | Generate load files | SyWay Data Team |

Custom Load tool will be used to upload the Work Permit Template. The load tool should replicate data creation method under class CL_WCM_PTW_HELPER_ROOT to accommodate upload of all the necessary data sets.
| Item # | Step Description | Team Responsible |
|---|---|---|
1 | Ensure Pre-load sign-offs are obtained. | SyWay Data team |
2 | Go to the load tool and select the correct load Program. | SyWay Data team |
3 | Proceed with Data load. | SyWay Data team |
4 | Validate few records loaded by accessing standard transactions. | SyWay Data team |
5 | Generate the post load reports in the tool. | SyWay Data team |
6 | Log errors as defects, if any and address resolutions. Close defects. | SyWay Data team |
7 | Resolve defects by re-upload and re-generate post load reports if necessary. | SyWay Data team |
8 | Business to validate the post load files as part of post-load validation, raise data defects or provide the post-load sign-off. | Business |
