Register exact unit context

Review a native record or import without starting an inspection.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Supervisor

On this page

Unit registration supplies the source facts used to select approved requirements. It does not record a measurement, start an inspection or release a unit. Have the approved source record and exact revision ready.

Register a single unit

Open Units and context and use Register a unit. Enter the source namespace, unit code, source revision, order, line, item, optional lot and selection facts. Copy source values exactly, including leading zeros and case. Select only a supported supplier status.

Choose Register context and inspect the saved unit and source revision. Family, drawing revision, customer group and finish must match the declared approved plan before inspection can start.

The same source revision must retain the same context. A genuine correction needs a new source revision, not a changed value under the old one. A new revision retains context and does not rewrite an attempt already in progress.

Preview a supported import

Download the CSV or JSON example from Prepare a context import. Keep its exact CSV header order or JSON schema and field names while replacing the fictional rows with approved source data.

The supported file is UTF-8, at most 2,000 rows and 10 MiB. Text fields have an 80-character limit. Required values are nonempty text. If there is no lot, use an empty CSV lot_code cell or JSON null. Do not allow spreadsheet conversion to remove leading zeros.

Choose Source file and Validate and preview. Read the prepared rows and any refusal before Confirm this import. Only that validated content is committed. A lost preparation response starts no confirmed import; prepare the file again when instructed.

Handle changed context

If the source changes while work is in progress, inspect its holds and history with the Supervisor. Do not treat the new current context as if the earlier readings used it. A context-change hold can require cancellation or revoked affected work and a fresh full inspection.

If the preview or unit state changed concurrently, refresh and validate again. Do not repeatedly confirm an older preparation. Preserve the original action when its result is uncertain.

Use start an inspection for physical confirmation and history and reports to compare retained revisions.
