  1. Phases, Items & Revisions

Phases Explorer

The Phases Explorer is one of the most important modules inside any project in Fabritec.
It acts as the central workspace where all engineering and production data for a phase is prepared, reviewed, validated, and approved before moving downstream.
Using Phases Explorer, you can:
Manage phase revisions
Upload and organize items, drawings, and files
Generate and download Bill of Materials (BOM) reports
Review, validate, and approve revisions with full traceability
Control what data is released to Routing, Production, QC, and Shipping
This workspace ensures accuracy, traceability, and controlled decision-making between engineering, planning, production, and quality teams.

āœ… Revision Approval Workflow#

Once a revision is confirmed, its status becomes Under Review.
āš ļø Important Note
Approval Validation and View Changes do not appear in Revision 0.
They become available starting from Revision 1, once comparison with a previous revision is possible.
Approval Workflow

Step 1: Approval Validation#

Performs a full pre-check against the current production state and detects:
Items deleted after production has started
Items modified while already in production or completed
Conflicts between revision data and production status
Results:
āŒ Errors ā†’ Approval blocked with clear reasons
āœ… No errors ā†’ Safe to approve

Step 2: View Changes#

Shows a full comparison between current and previous revisions:
Items added
Items updated
