The Shipping Status page allows you to monitor and manage all activities related to items entering the shipping yard and items ready for shipment.
This page connects production, QC, and logistics to ensure every item is properly tracked until it leaves the factory.

Shipping Status is divided into two main sections:

** Shipping Status** — View and manage all completed items, their weights, quantities, and shipment readiness.

** Entry to Shipping Yard** — Approve items entering the yard after QC.

Before Shipping: Release the Phase for Shipping

Before the shipping team starts dispatch planning or shipment execution for a phase, the phase should be officially released for shipping.

This release is controlled from the Phases page, not directly from the Shipping Status page.

Releasing a phase for shipping confirms that the phase is ready to move into the shipping workflow and that the shipping team can start preparing dispatches based on approved phase readiness.

This helps ensure that:

The phase has been released for production

Production and QC progress have been reviewed

Yard readiness has been confirmed

The shipping team is allowed to proceed

Dispatch planning is based on an approved phase status

When a phase is not released for shipping, the Shipping status remains false in the Phases table.

How to Release a Phase for Shipping

To release a phase for shipping:

Go to Projects → Select Project → Phases

Find the required phase in the table

Open the ⋮ actions menu

Click Release for Shipping

The Shipping status changes to true

Once the phase is released for shipping, the team can continue managing shipping readiness, preparing dispatches, and planning shipment execution.

Unrelease for Shipping

Fabritec also allows authorized users to reverse the shipping release if the phase needs to be reviewed again before shipping continues.

After a phase is released for shipping, the action menu changes from Release for Shipping to Unrelease for Shipping.

Use Unrelease for Shipping when the phase was released too early, released by mistake, or needs another readiness review before dispatch planning continues.

This is useful when:

The phase was released for shipping before confirming readiness

The shipping team needs to recheck the phase status

There are pending production, QC, or yard readiness concerns

Dispatch planning should be paused temporarily

The team needs to prevent shipping actions until the phase is reviewed again

How to Unrelease a Phase from Shipping

To unrelease a phase from shipping:

Go to Projects → Select Project → Phases

Find the required phase in the table

Open the ⋮ actions menu

Click Unrelease for Shipping

The Shipping status changes back to false

After using Unrelease for Shipping, the phase is no longer treated as released for shipping.
The team can review the phase status and release it for shipping again when readiness is confirmed.

Best Practice

Only release a phase for shipping when production, QC, and yard readiness have been reviewed.

If the phase was released too early or needs another operational check, use Unrelease for Shipping before continuing with dispatch preparation.

This keeps the shipping workflow controlled, traceable, and aligned with the actual readiness of the phase.

Item appears in Entry to Shipping Yard

Yard team accepts quantities

Item’s weight and presence updates in Shipping Status

Item becomes available for final shipment

This ensures traceability and prevents unauthorized or unrecorded yard entries.

⭐ Best Practices for Shipping Teams

Always verify that QC approval is completed before accepting yard entries

Use Accept All only when daily QC and production batches are validated

Compare In Yard Weight with physical inventory weekly

Maintain accurate quantity adjustments when accepting items

Export reports monthly to ensure data backup and management review

Keep the Shipping Calendar updated to avoid conflicts in dispatch dates

Tracking – Track production progress and stage completion

Quality Control – Approve items before yard entry

Shipping Calendar – View dispatch schedules

Production – Monitor items being manufactured
