The Production Logs page provides a traceable history of production activities recorded in Fabritec.Each log represents a production execution submitted against a specific:When Quality Control is required, the same record also shows the related inspection result, accepted quantity, and rework information.Production Logs allow production managers, supervisors, quality teams, and authorized administrators to confirm:Which item and stage were updated
Which workers performed the operation
Which workstation was used
How much quantity was processed
Whether inspection was required
How much quantity was accepted
Whether rework was recorded
Where to Find Production Logs#
What Creates a Production Log?#
A Production Log is created when an authorized user records a production operation against an item.For example, a user may submit that:Completed the Bending stage
At the Angle Bending Machine
Using three assigned labour records
With an operation duration of one hour
Production Logs and Item Progress#
Production Logs are directly connected to item progress.When a production update is submitted, Fabritec uses the recorded quantity and the item’s configured route to update the item’s stage-level quantities.Depending on the route and Quality Control requirements, the quantity may become:Completed at the current stage
Accepted and available for the next stage
Partially accepted and partially returned for rework
Required Permissions#
Access to Production Logs is controlled through role permissions.Permissions are managed from:The relevant permissions normally include:A user with viewing permission may review and filter production records.A user also requires modification permission to edit available log information.The actions displayed in the Actions column may differ according to the user’s permissions and the state of the production record.

Production Logs Table#
Each row represents one recorded production operation.The available columns may vary according to the selected column configuration.Identification and Timing Columns#
| Column | Description |
|---|
| Phase | The project phase containing the production item |
| Mark | The item or component identifier associated with the log |
| Log Date | The date on which the production log was recorded in Fabritec |
| Operation Time | The production date or operation time entered for the activity |
| Stage | The production stage against which the activity was submitted |
| Created By | The Fabritec user who created the production log |
Log Date and Operation Time#
These fields serve different purposes.Log Date identifies when the record was created or entered in Fabritec.Operation Time identifies when the production activity was performed or recorded as having occurred.The values may be the same when users submit production immediately after completing the work.They may differ when production activity is entered later.For accurate reporting, users should record the correct operational date rather than automatically using the date of data entry.Production Execution Columns#
| Column | Description |
|---|
| Qty | The quantity recorded in the production operation |
| Rework Quantity | The quantity associated with rework, when applicable |
| Work Station | The machine, production area, line, or station used for the operation |
| Duration | The recorded operation duration |
| Labours | The workers assigned to the production activity |
| Total Weight (t) | The total weight represented by the logged quantity, displayed in tonnes when item weight data is available |
Quantity#
The Qty column shows the quantity processed in that production submission.A log does not always represent the full item quantity.For example, an item with a total quantity of 100 may be processed through multiple logs:Together, these logs account for the full item quantity.This allows Fabritec to support partial production and staged execution.Work Station#
The Work Station column identifies where the operation was performed.CNC Plasma Cutting Machine
Machine utilization reviews
Duration#
The Duration column records the time assigned to the production activity.The value is displayed in a time format such as:This represents one hour.Duration supports operational analysis such as:Comparing actual execution time across items
Reviewing workstation productivity
Identifying unusually long operations
Labours#
The Labours column lists the workers assigned to the production operation.Each labour entry may display:The labour records identify who performed the work.They are different from Created By, which identifies the Fabritec user who submitted the production update.A supervisor may create a log on behalf of several workers. In this case:Created By shows the supervisor’s user account.
Labours shows the workers who performed the activity.
Quality Control Columns#
When a production stage requires Quality Control, the Logs table displays information from the linked inspection.| Column | Description |
|---|
| Inspection | The current inspection status or outcome |
| Inspected by | The user who completed the inspection |
| Accepted | The quantity accepted through Quality Control |
| Rework | Indicates whether rework was recorded |
| Rework Reason | Displays the recorded rework explanation when applicable |
Inspection#
The Inspection column displays the quality state connected to the production log.An Approved result indicates that the Quality Control process has accepted the inspected quantity.When a production stage does not require Quality Control, the inspection-related fields may be empty or may display a non-inspection state, depending on the workflow configuration.Accepted#
The Accepted column shows the quantity accepted by Quality Control.This means the full logged quantity passed inspection.If only part of the submitted quantity is accepted, the accepted value may be lower than the original production quantity.The remaining quantity may require rework or additional quality action.Rework#
The Rework column indicates whether the production record has a rework outcome.No — no rework was recorded
Yes — some or all of the quantity requires rework
Filtering Production Logs#
Each supported column includes a filter icon.Use filters to narrow the records according to the review you are performing.Common filtering scenarios include:Production completed within a specific date range
Logs for one project phase
Activity at one production stage
Records submitted by one user
Operations performed at one workstation
Logs involving specific labour
Reviewing Logs by Phase#
Filter by Phase when reviewing the production history of a particular project phase.This helps project and production managers understand:Which items were processed
Which stages were completed
How much quantity was recorded
Whether inspection results are complete
Reviewing Logs by Stage#
Filter by Stage to review activity for one production process.For example, filtering by Bending can help identify:Bending quantities completed
Rework related to bending operations
Reviewing Logs by Workstation#
Filter by Work Station to investigate machine or production-area activity.Workstation utilization analysis
Production issue investigation
Comparing output across machines
Identifying repeated rework linked to one station
Reviewing Logs by User#
Filter by Created By to review records submitted by a specific Fabritec user.Remember that the user who created the record may not be the same as the workers listed under Labours.Row Actions#
The current Production Logs table provides two primary actions:The available actions depend on the user’s role permissions and the state of the record.Click the View icon to open the related Item Details page.Item Details provides the wider context behind the selected Production Log.Quantity in the shipping yard
Stage-Level Progress#
The Item Details page displays the item’s route and the current quantity position at each stage.The stage table can include:| Column | Description |
|---|
| Order | The sequence of the stage in the production route |
| Stage Name | The configured production stage |
| Quantity Available | Quantity currently available to be processed at the stage |
| Quantity Under Inspection | Quantity waiting for a Quality Control result |
| Rework Quantity | Quantity returned for rework |
| Quantity Done | Quantity completed at the stage |
| Require QC | Indicates whether the stage requires Quality Control |
Use this table to understand how the selected log affected the item’s current production state.Inspection History#
The Inspections section displays the Quality Control records linked to the item.Click the View icon in the inspection row when you need to review the inspection details.This connection between Production Logs and Inspections provides traceability from production submission to quality approval.
Important#
The Revert, Refabricate, and Hold buttons available on the Item Details page are item-level workflow actions.They are not the same as editing a Production Log.Use these actions only according to the relevant operational procedure and user permissions.
Editing a Production Log#
Click the Edit icon in the Actions column to correct available production information.Depending on the current product configuration and permissions, editable information may include:Operation date or production date
The wrong workstation was selected
One assigned worker was omitted
The production activity was recorded with the wrong date
The following values are connected directly to production progress and Quality Control and should not be treated as simple administrative fields:These values may be protected or governed by the related production and Quality Control workflows.When a correction affects quantity, stage progression, inspection, or rework, review the related item and quality records before making any change.Editing Logs with an Inspection Result#
The Edit icon may remain visible for records that already have an inspection result.This does not mean that all parts of the record can be changed.Operational metadata such as the workstation, labour assignment, or production date may remain editable where permitted, while inspection-related information remains controlled through Quality Control.Do not modify an approved production record in a way that makes its production and inspection histories inconsistent.Production Logs and Quality Control#
