Agree a marking rule before dispatch
Use the same reference on the parts list, steel and dispatch record. Define whether a mark identifies a part, an assembly or a batch. For repeated marks, retain expected quantities and a way to distinguish individual items when individual tracking is required.
Match the marking method to the process
Industrial tags, engraving and mechanical marking are options to assess with the fabricator and galvanizer. An ordinary workshop marker or adhesive label is not evidence of treatment resistance. Have the method and position approved before marking the steel directly.
Prepare identified batches and a dispatch list
Group the parts for the intended batch, check quantities and keep the list of dispatched marks. Check tag attachment and visibility during loading. If a batch is split, retain a link between each smaller batch and the original list.

Reconcile returned steel after treatment
Compare returned marks and quantities with the dispatch record. Scan readable tags and investigate missing items, duplicates, detached tags or unreadable codes. Record discrepancies before closing the batch or sending it onwards.
Connect the physical check to Fabbim
Identification opens the item record; it does not prove that a manufacturing operation happened. Record verified stages in Fabbim and reconcile them with the IFC selection. The 3D view helps locate an assembly when similar pieces are hard to distinguish.
