5. Return from Site

Fabritec now supports Return from Site, a new workflow that helps teams handle cases where items have been shipped to site but need to return to the factory before erection is completed.

This feature is designed for real operational scenarios where a dispatch reaches the site, but the items are not installed yet and need to be returned for review, modification, or refabrication.

What’s New

Fabritec now supports a controlled return workflow for shipped items before erection.

New capabilities include:

New Return from Site action for shipped dispatches

The action appears after shipping and before erection

Available from:

Project → Shipping

Dispatches list

Shipping Calendar dispatch details

When Return from Site is executed, Fabritec moves the returned items back to the Shipping Yard

Once items are back in the Shipping Yard, the shipping team can manage them again from the factory side

If returned items require modification or remanufacturing, users can proceed with Refabricate

The action is only available before erection

After erection is executed, Return from Site is no longer available because the items have already entered the site installation stage

Where the Feature Appears

Return from Site appears inside:

Project → Shipping

Within the Dispatches list after a dispatch has been shipped.

It also appears inside:

Shipping Calendar

When opening the details of the shipped dispatch.

How the Workflow Works

The workflow follows this logic:

Items are completed and entered into the Shipping Yard.

A dispatch is created.

The dispatch is shipped to site.

Before erection, the team identifies that some items must return to the factory.

The user executes Return from Site.

Fabritec returns the items to the Shipping Yard.

The shipping team regains control of the items inside the factory workflow.

If needed, the returned items can be moved into Refabrication.

Important Rule

Return from Site is only available:

After shipping and before erection.

It will not appear after erection is completed because the items have already moved into the installation workflow at site.

Business Use Cases and Benefits

Use Cases

Items shipped to site but not installed yet

Items need review before installation

Site team requests modification before erection

Items need to return to the factory for correction

A shipped item needs refabrication

Shipping team needs to regain control of items before final site use

Dispatch reached site but installation sequence changed

Business Benefits

Better control over post-shipping exceptions

Clearer traceability when items return from site

Reduced confusion between site, shipping, and factory teams

Safer handling of items before erection

Improved coordination between shipping and site execution

Ability to support refabrication after return

Stronger lifecycle tracking from shipping to site and back to yard

Improvements

6. Phases Explorer: Manual Item Entry, Drawing Validation, and Smart Allocation

Fabritec now provides enhanced control inside Phases Explorer when creating and managing revisions.

These updates make revision preparation more flexible, especially when users need to add items manually, edit item details, validate drawings, review production status, restore deleted items, or handle mark changes safely through Smart Allocation.

The new enhancements are available inside:

Projects → Select Project → Phases Explorer → Add Revision

These improvements strengthen the revision workflow while keeping traceability between engineering changes, drawings, production progress, and approval validation.

What’s New

This update includes several enhancements inside Phases Explorer:

Manual item entry inside revisions

Manual sub-item creation

Improved drawing upload validation

Counters for unmatched drawings

Counters for items without linked drawings

Drawing preview inside Fabritec

Production status icon for Revision 1 and above

Restore deleted items

Smart Allocation for mark changes

Stronger connection with View Changes and Approval Validation

Manual Item Entry Inside a Revision

Fabritec now allows users to add items manually inside a revision using the new Add Item button.

Previously, users mainly relied on Import From Excel to add items in bulk. With this update, users can create individual items directly from the interface without preparing or uploading a full Excel file.

This is useful when only a few items need to be added, corrected, or completed manually.

The manual item entry form supports fields such as:

Mark

Name

Profile

Material

Quantity

Weight

Length

Width

Thickness

Area

Volume

Number of holes

Hole dimensions

Drawing number

Manual Sub-Item Entry

The Add Item form also supports sub-items.

Inside the Sub Items section, users can:

Add an existing sub-item

Add a new sub-item manually

Define quantity used

Review sub-item weight

Mark a sub-item as the main sub-item

Remove sub-items before saving

This helps teams define assembly breakdowns directly inside Fabritec.

Edit Revision Item Details

After an item is added to the revision, Fabritec now displays an Edit icon in the Actions column.

Clicking this icon opens the Edit Revision Item form.

Users can edit item information such as:

Mark

Name

Profile

Material

Total Quantity

Weight

Length

Width

Thickness

Area

Volume

Number of holes

Hole dimensions

Drawing number

Linked sub-items

This allows users to correct item data without deleting and recreating the item.

Edit Sub-Items

Inside the Edit Revision Item form, users can also manage the item’s sub-items.

Users can:

Add an existing sub-item

Add a new sub-item

Update quantity used

Set the main sub-item

Remove a sub-item from the parent item

This is especially useful for assemblies, built-up sections, or items that depend on multiple components.

Fit Weight Based on Sub-Items

The Edit Revision Item form now includes a Fit button next to the item’s Weight field.

This button helps align the parent item weight with its sub-item breakdown.

When sub-items are added, removed, or modified, users can click Fit to adjust the parent item weight based on the updated sub-item details.

Use Fit when:

A sub-item was added

A sub-item quantity was changed

A sub-item weight was modified

The parent item weight needs to match the total weight of its sub-items

The user wants to keep assembly weight consistent before approval

This helps maintain accurate BOM data and reduces weight mismatches between parent items and their components.

Improved Drawing Upload Validation

Fabritec now provides clearer validation during the Add Drawings step.

Inside:

Add Revision → Add Drawings

Fabritec now shows counters for:

Unmatched Drawings

Items Without Linked Drawing

Unmatched Drawings

This counter shows the number of uploaded drawings that could not be automatically matched to an item mark.

Drawing Preview Icon

When a drawing is successfully linked to an item, a PDF icon appears beside the item mark or inside the item actions.

Clicking this icon opens the linked drawing directly inside Fabritec using the built-in PDF viewer.

This allows users to verify the drawing without downloading it or leaving the system.

Use drawing preview to:

Confirm that the correct drawing is linked to the correct item mark

Review technical details before approving the revision

Validate drawings during planning or engineering review

Reduce wrong drawing usage before production release

Production-Aware Actions for Revision 1 and Above

Starting from Revision 1 and above, Fabritec now provides additional actions inside the Actions column.

These actions help users understand how revision changes affect items that may already be in production.

The Actions column may include:

Drawing preview icon

Edit item icon

Production status icon

Restore icon for deleted items

Smart Allocation icon

The available icons depend on the item status and the type of revision change.

Production Status Icon

A new Production Status icon is now available for items in Revision 1 and above.

Clicking this icon opens a Production Status panel for the selected mark.

The Production Status panel includes:

Average production progress

Total quantity

Quantity in production

Quantity finished

Quantity outsourced

Quantity shipped

Linked phases

Phase breakdown

Stage quantities

Current stage progress

Quantity available

Quantity under inspection

Rework quantity

Quantity done

Whether the stage requires QC

Whether the stage is outsourced

This helps users make safer revision decisions before approving, editing, deleting, or reallocating items.

Restore Deleted Items

When an item is deleted from a revision, Fabritec now shows a Restore icon in the Actions column.

This allows users to bring the deleted item back into the revision before final approval.

Use Restore when:

An item was deleted by mistake

Engineering decides the item should remain

A deletion was tested but should not be included in the final revision

The user wants to avoid re-importing or recreating the item

Smart Allocation

Fabritec now supports Smart Allocation for revision changes where an item mark is modified and needs to be connected to an existing production item.

Smart Allocation is mainly used when a mark changes between revisions and the system needs to understand that the new item replaces or continues from an existing item.

When clicking the Smart Allocation icon, Fabritec opens the Smart Allocation panel.

Inside the panel, the user can choose whether the item should be allocated to an existing item or left as No Allocation.

If the user selects an existing item, Fabritec connects the revision change to that item so production progress can continue correctly under the new mark.

Smart Allocation helps teams avoid:

Losing production progress after a mark change

Treating a renamed item as a completely new item

Disconnecting revision history from production history

Creating confusion between old and new item marks

Approving revision changes without understanding their production impact

Business Use Cases and Benefits

Use Cases

Adding a missing item without re-uploading Excel

Correcting imported item data

Updating assembly sub-item breakdowns

Adjusting parent item weight based on sub-items

Validating drawings before revision approval

Previewing linked drawings inside Fabritec

Checking production status before approving a revision change

Restoring deleted items before approval

Handling mark changes after production has already started

Mapping new marks to existing production records using Smart Allocation

Business Benefits

More flexible revision preparation

Less dependency on Excel for small changes

Faster correction of item data

Better BOM consistency

Stronger control over sub-item structures

More accurate item weights

Better document and drawing validation

Reduced risk of releasing items without drawings

Safer revision decisions during live production

Better traceability between engineering changes and production progress

Reduced rework caused by incorrect item or drawing data

Stronger control before approval

7. Separate Phase Schedules for Production, Shipping, and Erection

Fabritec improves phase planning by replacing the previous general phase date model with more detailed schedule sections.

Previously, each Phase had a general:

Start Date

End Date

With this update, each Phase can now have separate schedules for different execution activities.

What’s New

Each Phase can now include:

Production Schedule

Shipping Schedule

Erection Schedule

Note: Erection Schedule is available when the project includes erection scope.

Each schedule has its own:

Start Date

End Date

This gives teams a more accurate view of the Phase lifecycle.

Why This Matters

Production, shipping, and erection are different activities.

They happen at different times, involve different teams, and carry different operational risks.

A single Phase start and end date does not always provide enough detail to manage execution properly.

With separate schedules, teams can now plan and track:

When production should start and finish

When shipping should start and finish

When erection should start and finish

How each part of the Phase timeline connects to the next step

Example

A Phase may now be planned like this:

Phase 01

Schedule Type	Start Date	End Date
Production Schedule	July 1	July 20
Shipping Schedule	July 21	July 25
Erection Schedule	July 26	August 10

This gives clearer visibility than one general Phase date range.

Operational Impact

This update improves planning by helping teams separate:

Factory execution

Dispatch planning

Site installation

It also helps management understand whether a Phase is delayed because of:

Production delay

Shipping delay

Erection delay

Instead of treating the Phase as one general timeline, Fabritec now supports a more realistic execution structure.

Business Use Cases and Benefits

Use Cases

Planning production dates separately from delivery dates

Tracking shipping windows after production completion

Planning erection dates for site execution

Reviewing schedule risk by execution area

Aligning factory, logistics, and site teams

Preparing clearer project timeline reviews

Understanding where a delay is happening inside the Phase lifecycle

Business Benefits

More accurate Phase planning

Better visibility across production, shipping, and erection

Stronger coordination between factory and site teams

Improved delivery planning

Better management reporting

Reduced confusion caused by one general Phase date

Better ability to identify schedule delays by workflow area

8. Unrelease for Production and Unrelease for Shipping

Fabritec now provides more control over Phase release workflows by supporting:

Unrelease for Production

Unrelease for Shipping

This improvement allows teams to reverse a release action when a Phase needs additional review or correction before continuing production or shipping.

What’s New

Fabritec now supports controlled reversal for production and shipping release actions.

New capabilities include:

Users can now undo Release for Production when needed

Users can now undo Release for Shipping when needed

These actions help teams return a Phase to a safer review state before execution continues

The update gives teams more control when a release action was completed too early or by mistake

Unrelease for Production

Use Unrelease for Production when a Phase was released to production but needs to be reviewed again before production continues.

This can be useful when:

Release for Production was done by mistake

The Phase needs additional review

The team discovers missing or incorrect information

The Phase should not continue to production yet

The team needs to correct data before production starts

Unrelease for Shipping

Use Unrelease for Shipping when a Phase was released for shipping but needs to be reviewed again before shipping continues.

This can be useful when:

Release for Shipping was done by mistake

The Phase was released before confirming shipping readiness

The shipping team needs to pause the workflow temporarily

The team needs to review the Phase before dispatch preparation

There are operational concerns before moving forward with shipping

Why This Matters

Release actions are important workflow decisions.

When a Phase is released to production or shipping, teams may start acting based on that status.

If a release happens too early, by mistake, or before final review, teams need a controlled way to reverse that decision.

This update gives users a safer correction path instead of forcing teams to continue with an incorrect workflow state.

Business Use Cases and Benefits

Use Cases

Reversing a release made by mistake

Returning a Phase for review before production starts

Holding a Phase before shipping readiness is confirmed

Pausing shipping preparation until missing information is corrected

Preventing production or shipping teams from acting on premature release status

Correcting workflow state before operational impact increases

Business Benefits

Safer Phase release control

Reduced risk from accidental releases

Better review discipline before production and shipping

More flexibility in operational workflows

Fewer downstream errors

Stronger coordination between planning, production, and shipping
