Creating a POS Pack
Summary
This article explains how to create a new Plant Operating Scheme (POS) pack in DocuRail and prepare it for submission. It describes platform behaviour only and does not replace controlled railway documentation or operational procedures.
Before You Start
You will typically need:
- The worksite / project reference information (as required by your organisation)
- Plant details (type, ID, owner, attachments where applicable)
- Any supporting evidence (diagrams, photos, documents) to attach
- The correct user permissions to create POS packs
Step-by-Step: Creating a New POS
Step 1 — Create the POS record
- In DocuRail, go to POS
- Select Create New POS
- Confirm the company / project (where applicable)
- Enter the required header details (as configured for your organisation)
Step 2 — Complete POS sections
Work through the POS sections in order. DocuRail will typically:
- Require mandatory fields before you can proceed
- Save changes as you go (depending on configuration)
- Highlight incomplete sections
Complete each section carefully and consistently — the platform records what is entered and supports workflow transparency, but it does not validate operational correctness.
Step 3 — Add plant, attachments, and diagrams
Where the POS requires plant details:
- Add the relevant plant entries
- Attach supporting documents (where required)
- Add diagrams / images if your process expects them
Step 4 — Final checks before submission
Before submitting, confirm:
- Required fields are complete
- Attachments are present (if applicable)
- The information is ready for review
What Happens Next
Submitting the POS pack moves it into the next stage of the workflow (review / approval depending on your configuration). DocuRail records the submission and the subsequent activity as part of an auditable workflow.
