Traceability Checker

Find part, revision, heat, lot and PO mismatches against controlled reference values.

Enter controlled job reference values, paste one row per source document, then run the comparison. Missing values remain REVIEW and conflicting values FAIL.

Set the job reference values, paste document metadata, and find missing or mismatched traceability fields locally.

Reference values

Use comma-separated or tab-separated rows. Blank reference fields are not checked. Up to 500 rows.

How to use

Check heat, lot and revision traceability

Find part, revision, heat, lot and PO mismatches against controlled reference values.

Step by step

  1. Provide the source using: Document, part, revision, heat, lot, PO.
  2. Set: Part number / Revision / Heat / Lot / PO. Use the reference below to choose the options that fit your task.
  3. Choose: Check traceability. Inspect the result before copying, downloading or using it elsewhere.
  4. Enter controlled job reference values, paste one row per source document, then run the comparison. Missing values remain REVIEW and conflicting values FAIL.

Choosing the settings

OptionWhat changes
Part number / RevisionUse values from your controlled job record as the reference. Each non-blank reference field is checked across the pasted rows. Missing values stay in REVIEW and mismatches FAIL; matching text PASSes after case and separator normalization.

Example and expected result

If the reference revision is C but an inspection row says B, that row FAILs. Blank reference fields are intentionally ignored; the tool checks only the values you supply.

If it is not working

  • The tool checks only the values you paste. It does not authenticate certificates, read signatures, infer a heat number from an image, or decide whether a missing field is allowed by your customer or standard.
  • Resolve a FAIL or REVIEW against the controlled source document, including units and revision. Correct a transcription error only after checking the source; never change a real mismatch or invent a missing value just to obtain PASS.

Compare metadata before shipment

Use values from your controlled job record as the reference. Each non-blank reference field is checked across the pasted rows. Missing values stay in REVIEW and mismatches FAIL; matching text PASSes after case and separator normalization.

This is not document OCR

The tool checks only the values you paste. It does not authenticate certificates, read signatures, infer a heat number from an image, or decide whether a missing field is allowed by your customer or standard.
