Inspections

The Inspections tab in Fabritec is the operational workspace used to review and process Quality Control requests submitted from production.

It provides a centralized view of inspection requests across projects, phases, items, and production stages. Authorized quality users can inspect submitted quantities, record accepted quantities, reject nonconforming work, return quantities for refabrication, attach supporting evidence, and review completed inspection history.

The Inspections tab helps quality, production, and management teams confirm:

What quantity was submitted for inspection

Which item and production stage were inspected

Who submitted the production quantity

When the inspection request was created

How much quantity was accepted

Whether the request was approved, partially approved, or rejected

Whether any quantity was returned for rework or refabrication

Who completed the inspection

When the inspection decision was recorded

Unlike production pages, which focus on performing and recording manufacturing work, the Inspections tab controls the quality decision that determines what happens to quantities waiting for QC.

Where to Find Quality Control Inspections

Navigate to:

Quality Control → Inspections

The page displays inspection requests from across the factory, subject to the logged-in user’s role permissions, assigned QC stages, and outsourced QC access.

How an Inspection Request Is Created

An inspection request is normally created when:

A production stage is configured with Requires Inspection.

An item follows a route containing that stage.

A production user records completed quantity against the stage.

Fabritec creates the related production record.

The submitted quantity is moved into the Quality Control workflow.

The item shows the submitted quantity as waiting for inspection.

The production stage configuration determines whether a completed production update requires Quality Control. Stages such as Welding, Bending, Painting, Galvanizing, or Visual Inspection may be configured to require inspection according to the organization’s workflow.

A production update connected to a QC-required stage remains linked to its inspection result. Once Quality Control completes the review, the accepted and rework quantities are reflected in the production record and item progress.

Important

An item does not appear in the Inspections tab simply because it exists in production.

The item must have:

A valid production route

A stage configured to require inspection

A submitted production quantity

A quantity currently waiting for a QC decision

No workflow condition preventing the inspection request

Visibility under the logged-in user’s permissions

Inspection Table

Each row represents one Quality Control request linked to a specific item, production stage, and submitted quantity.

Column	Description
Phase	The project phase containing the inspected item
Mark	The item, component, or mark identifier
Stage	The production stage being inspected
Status	The current inspection state
Qty	The total quantity submitted for inspection
Quantity Accepted	The quantity accepted by Quality Control
Sent by	The Fabritec user who submitted the production update
Sent date	The date and time when the quantity entered the inspection workflow
Inspected by	The user who completed the QC decision
Inspection date	The date and time when the inspection response was recorded
Actions	Opens the request for inspection or displays the completed inspection details

Phase

The Phase column identifies the project phase associated with the inspection request.

For example:

EG-2391-01-01

Use the Phase filter when reviewing:

QC workload for a specific project

Inspection history for one project phase

Repeated failures within a phase

Accepted quantities before shipping

Phase-specific audit records

Mark

The Mark column identifies the exact production item being inspected.

Examples include:

BA1009

RF3009

C70

The same mark may appear more than once when:

Different quantities were submitted at different times

The item passed through multiple QC-required stages

A quantity was returned for rework and submitted again

Production was completed in separate batches

Always review the Mark together with the Phase, Stage, Sent date, and Qty.

Stage

The Stage column identifies the manufacturing operation being inspected.

Examples visible in the Inspections table may include:

Bending

Rolling

Welding

Galvanizing

The stage is important because each inspection must be evaluated against the correct process requirements.

For example:

Bending inspection may focus on dimensions, radius, angle, and deformation.

Welding inspection may focus on joint quality, weld profile, defects, and drawing requirements.

Galvanizing inspection may focus on coating condition, coverage, surface defects, and required thickness.

Painting inspection may focus on surface preparation, finish, colour, and coating requirements.

Fabritec records the inspection result. The organization’s inspection criteria should be defined through its approved quality procedures.

Qty

The Qty column shows the total quantity submitted for the current inspection request.

For example:

Mark	Qty
S6	48
S9	4
C8	12

This quantity represents the current submitted batch. It does not necessarily represent the item’s complete project quantity.

An item with a total quantity of 100 may be submitted through multiple inspection requests, such as:

First request: 40

Second request: 35

Third request: 25

Quantity Accepted

The Quantity Accepted column shows how much of the submitted quantity passed the inspection.

Examples:

Qty	Quantity Accepted	Meaning
48	48	The full submitted quantity was accepted
48	30	Part of the quantity was accepted
12	0	No submitted quantity was accepted
8	3	Three units passed; five units require further action

The accepted quantity is reflected in the related production and item progress. A quantity that is not accepted may require rework, refabrication, or another quality action.

Sent by and Sent Date

Sent by identifies the Fabritec user who submitted the production operation that created the inspection request.

Sent date identifies when the request entered Quality Control.

These fields support traceability between:

Production submission

Quality review

Inspection outcome

Accepted quantity

Rework activity

The user shown under Sent by is not necessarily the worker who physically performed the operation. A production supervisor may submit a production update on behalf of assigned labour.

Inspected by and Inspection Date

Inspected by identifies the user who recorded the Quality Control decision.

Inspection date identifies when the decision was submitted.

These fields remain empty while the inspection is still pending.

After the inspection is completed, they provide an audit trail showing:

Who made the decision

When the decision was made

What quantity was accepted

What final status was recorded

Inspection Statuses

The Status column communicates the current outcome of each request.

Pending

A Pending request is waiting for a Quality Control decision.

Pending requests normally display:

An orange status

An Edit or inspection-action icon

No inspector

No inspection date

No accepted quantity, or a blank accepted value

Pending records can be selected for individual or bulk action.

Approved

An Approved status means the submitted quantity was accepted.

In a complete approval:

Quantity Accepted = Qty

Example:

Submitted quantity: 48

Accepted quantity: 48

Status: Approved

The accepted quantity becomes completed for the inspected stage and continues according to the item’s configured route.

Depending on the route, the accepted quantity may:

Become available at the next production stage

Complete the final production stage

Become eligible for the Shipping Yard

Remain subject to another configured workflow requirement

Approval does not always mean that the item is immediately ready for shipping. The result depends on the remaining stages in the route.

Partially Approved

A Partially Approved status means that only part of the submitted quantity passed inspection.

Example:

Submitted quantity: 48

Accepted quantity: 30

Remaining quantity: 18

Status: Partially Approved

The calculation is:

Remaining Quantity = Submitted Quantity − Accepted Quantity

In this example:

48 − 30 = 18

The accepted quantity can continue through the configured workflow.

The remaining quantity must be handled through the applicable rework, refabrication, rejection, or additional quality procedure.

Fabritec can therefore represent a production result as partially accepted and partially returned for further work.

Rejected

A Rejected status means that the inspected request was not accepted.

A fully rejected request normally shows:

Quantity Accepted: 0

Status: Rejected

Inspector

Inspection date

Rejected quantity does not continue as accepted production.

The quantity must be handled according to the organization’s rejection procedure, which may include:

Rework

Refabrication

Repair

Replacement

Scrap

Engineering review

Supplier corrective action for outsourced work

Row Actions

The Actions column changes according to the status of the inspection.

Inspect or Edit Icon

A Pending request displays an action icon that opens the Inspection Request window.

Use this action to:

Review the request details

Enter the accepted quantity

Add a response

Attach supporting documents

Approve the inspection

Reject the inspection

Request Header

The top section identifies the request.

For example:

Mark: H1

Phase: 120-01-11

Submitted by: Admin

Submitted on: Tuesday, April 21, 2026, 3:37 PM

Status: Pending

Production type: Outsourcing

Review this information before entering the inspection result.

Confirm that you are inspecting:

The correct project phase

The correct mark

The correct production stage

The correct submitted batch

The correct production source

Outsourcing Indicator

When Outsourcing appears in the request, the inspected work was recorded as outsourced production.

Outsourced inspection requests may require:

Supplier documentation

Delivery records

Material certificates

Coating or testing certificates

External inspection reports

Supplier corrective-action evidence

The user must have the appropriate outsourced QC access to process these requests.

The detailed configuration of this permission is covered in the separate Quality Control Access article.

Total Quantity

Total shows the quantity included in the current request.

Example:

Total: 2

The accepted quantity must be evaluated against this total.

Do not enter an accepted value greater than the submitted total.

Rework

The Rework value identifies the quantity associated with an existing rework cycle, when applicable.

Example:

Rework: 0

A value of zero indicates that the displayed request does not currently show an existing rework quantity.

When a reworked quantity is submitted again, review the request history and supporting information to confirm that the original issue has been corrected.

Quantity Accepted

Quantity Accepted is a required field.

Enter the quantity that passed inspection.

The accepted quantity must normally be:

Zero or greater

Equal to or less than the submitted total

Based on the actual inspected result

Full Acceptance

For a total quantity of 48:

Quantity Accepted = 48

Then click Approve.

The request becomes Approved.

Partial Acceptance

For a total quantity of 48, where 30 units pass:

Quantity Accepted = 30

Then complete the remaining quality action according to the workflow.

The result is recorded as Partially Approved when only part of the submitted quantity is accepted.

No Acceptance

When no units pass:

Quantity Accepted = 0

Use Reject or Refabricate, depending on the required operational outcome.

Response

The Response field is optional in the interface, but it should be used whenever clarification is required.

A useful quality response should state:

What was inspected

What requirement was not met

Which quantity was affected

The required corrective action

Any relevant drawing, specification, or procedure reference

Example:

18 units rejected due to bending angle outside the approved tolerance. Return to Bending for correction and resubmit for inspection.

Avoid unclear responses such as:

Not good

Failed

Fix it

Recheck

Clear responses reduce repeated questions and strengthen traceability.

Attachments

Use Attachments to add supporting evidence.

Relevant attachments may include:

Inspection photographs

Measurement records

Checklists

Test results

Welding inspection reports

Coating thickness reports

Supplier certificates

Nonconformance records

Marked-up drawings

Corrective-action evidence

Attachments are especially useful when:

A request is rejected

Only part of a batch is accepted

Outsourced work is being inspected

The issue may affect client reporting

The inspection decision may be audited later

Completing an Individual Inspection

Approving the Full Quantity

Use full approval when all submitted units meet the required quality criteria.

Steps

Navigate to Quality Control → Inspections.

Locate the Pending request.

Click the inspection action icon.

Confirm the Phase, Mark, Stage, and Total.

Enter the full submitted quantity in Quantity Accepted.

Add a Response when required.

Attach supporting evidence when required.

Click Approve.

Confirm that the request status changes to Approved.

10.

Confirm that the inspector and inspection date are recorded.

Partially Approving a Quantity

Use partial approval when part of the submitted batch passes and part requires further action.

Steps

Open the Pending inspection.

Review the total submitted quantity.

Enter only the quantity that passed in Quantity Accepted.

Explain the non-accepted quantity in the Response field.

Add photographs, measurements, or other evidence when available.

Select the appropriate action for the remaining quantity.

Confirm that the final result is recorded correctly.

Example

Field	Value
Submitted Qty	48
Quantity Accepted	30
Remaining Quantity	18
Result	Partially Approved

Suggested response:

30 units accepted. 18 units require refabrication due to dimensional nonconformance.

Rejecting a Request

Use Reject when the submitted request does not meet the acceptance requirements and should be recorded as rejected.

Steps

Open the Pending request.

Confirm the item and stage.

Set Quantity Accepted to zero when no quantity passes.

Enter the rejection reason.

Attach evidence when available.

Click Reject.

Confirm that the status changes to Rejected.

A rejection should clearly identify the reason and the expected next action.

Sending Quantity for Refabrication

Use Refabricate when some or all of the inspected quantity must return to production for manufacturing correction.

Refabrication is appropriate when the item must be manufactured again or significantly corrected rather than accepted in its current condition.

Examples include:

Incorrect dimensions

Incorrect bend geometry

Wrong component configuration

Severe fabrication defects

Material processed against the wrong requirement

A failed outsourced operation requiring replacement or repeat processing

Steps

Open the Pending inspection.

Confirm the submitted quantity.

Enter the accepted quantity, if any portion passed.

Describe the refabrication reason.

Attach supporting evidence.

Click Refabricate.

Verify the related item and production records.

The quantity returned for rework or refabrication is directed back into the applicable production workflow rather than being counted as accepted. The exact next stage depends on the item route and the organization’s configured process.

Reject and Refabricate Are Not the Same

Use Reject to record that the inspection request failed the required quality decision.

Use Refabricate when the quantity must be returned to manufacturing for correction or replacement.

Your organization’s SOP should define when each action is used.

Bulk Inspection Actions

The Inspections tab supports:

Approve All

Reject All

These actions become available after eligible rows are selected.

Use the row checkboxes to select the required Pending requests.

Approve All

Use Approve All when all selected inspection requests can be accepted in full.

Appropriate examples:

A verified batch of identical items

Multiple marks inspected under the same approved conditions

A group of completed inspection requests with full acceptance

Do not use Approve All when:

Different accepted quantities must be entered

Some requests require partial approval

Different responses are required

Separate evidence must be attached

The items were not physically inspected

The selected requests include different quality outcomes

Reject All

Use Reject All when all selected requests require a full rejection.

Do not use Reject All when:

Some quantity passed

A partial approval is required

Different rejection reasons apply

Some requests require refabrication instead of rejection

Supporting evidence must be attached individually

Bulk Action Warning

Bulk QC decisions can affect multiple production records and quantities.

Before clicking Approve All or Reject All:

Review every selected row

Confirm the Phase and Mark

Confirm the Stage

Confirm the submitted Qty

Confirm that only Pending requests are selected

Confirm that one common outcome is correct for all selected records

Use individual inspection actions whenever the selected requests require different accepted quantities, responses, attachments, or rework decisions.

Searching and Filtering Inspections

Search

Use the main Search field to locate records using visible inspection information.

Search can help locate:

A phase

A mark

A stage

Audit periods

Clear Filter

Click Clear filter to remove column-level filters.

This restores the broader table view.

When text remains in the main Search field, clear the search separately.

How Quality Control Affects Production

Quality Control is directly connected to item-stage progress.

A typical workflow is:

Production records a quantity.

The stage requires inspection.

The quantity becomes under inspection.

Quality Control reviews the request.

Accepted quantity becomes completed at the stage.

Accepted quantity continues through the route.

Rework or refabrication quantity returns to the applicable workflow.

Production Logs and Item Details display the inspection outcome.

This connection preserves traceability between:

What production submitted

What Quality Control inspected

What passed

What failed

What was returned for correction

Who made the decision

When the decision was made

Fabritec’s production records can represent quantities as waiting for inspection, accepted, returned for rework, or partially accepted and partially returned.

Complete Inspection Examples

Example 1: Full Approval

A production user submits:

Field	Value
Phase	EG-2391-01-01
Mark	S6

Best Practices

Review Pending inspections at the start and end of each shift.

Confirm the Phase, Mark, Stage, and Qty before recording any decision.

Enter only the quantity that physically passed inspection.

Do not approve a full batch when only part was inspected.

Use partial approval when only part of the submitted quantity passes.

Record clear rejection and refabrication reasons.

Attach evidence for rejected, partially approved, outsourced, or disputed work.

Use bulk actions only when one decision correctly applies to every selected request.

Review repeated rework by stage, workstation, mark, and supplier.

Use Inspection date and Sent date to monitor QC response time.

Apply filters before exporting large inspection histories.

Use Reset cache only when Refresh does not display recent changes.

Review the related production record when inspection quantities appear inconsistent.

Keep QC stage access aligned with inspector qualifications and responsibilities.

Follow the organization’s approved inspection and nonconformance procedures.
