Handover & MRB: check the manufacturing record book against the customer's index before you submit it
Last reviewed:
The short answer
The Handover & MRB module checks the manufacturing record book before the customer does. MRB Readiness Check compares your folder with the customer's index. MRB Traceability Verification checks that heats, welds, tests and ITP steps link up. The MRB Compiler maps approved documents to the index as a cited manifest. It does not build the final PDF.
Who it is for
Document controllers and quality engineers who assemble the MRB or final data book, and the project managers who close out the order.
- Document controllers
- Quality engineers
- Project managers
- Expediting teams
- Third-party inspection coordinators
How requirements flow
Coming in from Inspection & Testing
From every earlier module: the VDRL/MDR from Order & Document Control, certificates and welding records from Manufacturing QA, and the test, NDE and calibration records and ITP from Inspection & Testing.
Going on to the customer
This is where the through-line ends. Each requirement accepted at tender should now have a record behind it, linked and approved. Findings export as CSV or JSON for your close-out list.
The Handover & MRB tools
All 3 tools here are in beta: request access and we onboard each team ourselves.
- MRB Readiness CheckBetaCompare your manufacturing record book with the customer's MRB instructions: find missing documents, wrong revisions, unsigned records and pending approvals.
- MRB Traceability VerificationBetaCheck the links inside an MRB: tag to heat to material certificate, weld to WPS to welder, test to instrument to calibration and ITP step to record.
- MRB CompilerBetaMap approved records to the customer's MRB index and get a cited compilation manifest, with missing, duplicate, unapproved and superseded documents flagged.
Questions buyers ask about Handover & MRB
Which Handover & MRB tools are available today?
The Handover & MRB module has 3 tools: MRB Readiness Check, MRB Traceability Verification, MRB Compiler. All 3 tools here are in beta: request access and we onboard each team ourselves.
Is there software that checks a manufacturing record book against the customer's index?
Yes. OdysseyGPT's MRB Readiness Check compares your documentation folder with the customer's MRB instructions and final index. Each required section or document gets a status: present, missing, awaiting approval, wrong revision or incomplete, with a quote from the instructions or index.
Does the MRB Compiler produce the final bookmarked PDF?
No, not today. The MRB Compiler maps approved documents to the customer's index and returns a cited compilation manifest in CSV or JSON. It flags entries with no document, duplicates, and unapproved or superseded files. Final PDF assembly is discussed during onboarding. Tools such as DocBoss and MDB Builder say they build the final PDF.
What is MRB traceability verification?
Checking the links between records, not just that each record exists. OdysseyGPT follows tag to part to heat to certificate, weld to WPS, PQR and welder, test to instrument to calibration, and ITP step to record to approval. It reports every broken, conflicting or ambiguous link with the records on both sides.
Does OdysseyGPT replace DocBoss or MDB Builder?
No. Those tools build and manage the data book. OdysseyGPT checks its content against the customer's index, the order and the traceability chain. Many teams would use both. The MRB software comparison describes each tool from its own website, with dates.
Does OdysseyGPT submit the record book to the customer?
No. It does not send anything to the customer. It tells your document controllers and quality engineers what is missing, at the wrong revision or unlinked, so they can close it out before they submit.
What goes in a manufacturing record book?
Usually the approved quality records for the order, in the customer's index order: material certificates, welding and NDE records, test and calibration records, inspection releases and approved drawings and procedures. The customer's index sets the sections. Our MRB guide covers contents and compilation.
How much does the Handover & MRB module cost?
Every module is part of OdysseyGPT Managed, from $999/month (USD), with onboarding included. There is no free tier and no per-seat price. Package and document volume is scoped with each customer. Enterprise plans are on request.
