Traceability Report
The Traceability report lists all the welds that went into making a specific part, based on several bits of
information. Table 5.21 explains the columns on the report in more detail. See page 5.36 for details on the

Field Description
Weld ID When a Welding Power Source creates a weld, it assigns an identification number
to that weld and sends it to Production Monitoring™. The Weld ID is that
number.
If you want to see additional information about that individual weld, simply click
the underlined Weld ID. The system automatically generates a Weld Detail report
for that weld (page 5.30).
Start of Weld The Start of Weld column displays the date and specific time the Welding Power
Source began performing the weld.
If you want to see additional information about the individual weld, simply click
the underlined date and time. The system automatically generates a Weld Detail
report for that weld (page 5.30).
Welder This column displays the name of the Welding Power Source used to make the
weld. The Production Monitoring™ administrator entered this text when creating
the Asset Tree (page 4.2).
Part Serial Number The Part Serial Number is the number assigned to this weld. The part number
comes from a variety of sources, depending if a person enters the number in
the Power Wave® Manager manually or if the information is transmitted
automatically.
Operator Serial
Number This is the operator’s ID number. When an operator begins welding on a Welding
Power Source, his or her ID or badge number is entered through Power Wave®
Manager or another method. Production Monitoring™ collects the ID that is
active at the time of the weld and displays the ID in this column.
