Fabritec provides two controlled recovery actions inside Item Details:

Revert – Send an item back to a previous production stage

Refabricate – Restart fabrication from scratch

These actions ensure proper traceability when handling production mistakes, quality issues, or rework requirements.

Both actions are available inside:

Production → Items → Select Item → Item Details

📍 Where to Find Revert & Refabricate

Navigate to:
Production → Items

Select an item

Open Item Details

Use the top-right action buttons:

Revert

Refabricate

Revert

What is Revert?

Revert sends a quantity of the item back to a previous stage in the workflow.

It is used when an item must return to an earlier stage due to:

Quality issues

Incorrect processing

Missed operation

Inspection failure

Production sequencing correction

How Revert Works

When clicking Revert, the system prompts you to:

Select the Target Stage (current stage to revert from)

Enter Quantity to Revert

Choose the Destination Stage (previous stage)

After confirmation:

The selected quantity moves backward

Stage quantities are updated automatically

Logs record the revert action

Traceability is preserved

Example

If an item is currently in:

Galvanizing

And it fails inspection, you can:

Revert quantity back to:
Bending

The item will then re-enter the workflow from that stage.

Important Notes

Reverting does not delete history

All actions are logged

Reverting respects stage permissions

Quantities must be available in the selected stage

Refabricate

What is Refabricate?

Refabricate restarts fabrication of a selected quantity from scratch.

It is used when an item must be completely rebuilt due to:

Major fabrication error

Irreparable defect

Structural damage

Scrap replacement

Engineering rework requiring full restart

How Refabricate Works

When clicking Refabricate, the system prompts you to:

Select the stage where refabrication applies

Enter the quantity to refabricate

Confirm the action

After confirmation:

The selected quantity is reset

It re-enters the workflow from the beginning

Production tracking restarts

Full traceability is maintained

When to Use Revert vs Refabricate

Action	Purpose	Use When
Revert	Move item backward one or more stages	Item needs correction but not full rebuild
Refabricate	Restart from zero	Item must be rebuilt completely

Traceability & Logs

Both actions:

Are recorded in Item Logs

Maintain full production history

Affect stage quantities and progress percentages

Are subject to production access control

This ensures:

Accountability

Clear audit trail

Safe correction of production errors

Best Practices

Use Revert for controlled backward movement

Use Refabricate only when full rebuild is required

Always verify quantity before confirming

Review logs after action for confirmation

Ensure supervisors approve major refabrication actions

Production – Items are completed here before going to QC

Shipping Yard – Only QC-approved items appear for yard entry

Reports – Analyze QC performance, productivity, and backlog
