Material Pull Request quick reference

Open https://pull.qbfab.com — capabilities, request steps, and the most common fixes on one page.

Capabilities

  • Request — Submit a new material pull request
  • Approve — Approve normal (non-borrow) pending requests
  • Approve Borrow — Approve borrow / “Needs PM” requests
  • Batch — Build a print list, print it, and mark lines as pulled

First-Day Setup

  1. 1. Go to pull.qbfab.com — This is the only link everyday users need. Admins manage users at the full admin panel.
  2. 2. Sign in — Use the email and password you were given.
  3. 3. Install to your phone home screen — So Pull opens like an app, not a bookmark.
  4. 4. Know your capabilities — Ask your lead which of the four capabilities you have — it decides what you can do.

How to Submit a Request

  1. 1. Open Pull → New — Start a new request from the main screen.
  2. 2. Fill in the details — Job #, material, qty, needed-by, priority, reason, location, notes.
  3. 3. Borrowing from another job? — Check “Borrowing from another job” and enter the Borrow from job #.
  4. 4. Submit — Double check the job number and quantity, then submit.
  • Cannot submit: You need can_request turned on. Ask your lead or an admin.

How to Approve

  1. 1. Open the request — From the board or the detail view.
  2. 2. Approve normal requests — If you have can_approve, approve non-borrow requests directly.
  3. 3. Approve borrow / “Needs PM” requests — These need someone with can_approve_allocation.
  • Borrow request is stuck: It needs someone with can_approve_allocation to sign off.

Batch → Print → Mark Pulled

  1. 1. Open the Batch tab — Only approved lines show up here.
  2. 2. Select approved lines — Sort by hot / need-by so urgent items get pulled first.
  3. 3. Create pull list → Print — Build the batch, then print the physical list.
  4. 4. Pull the material — Use the printed list or the checklist and notes on screen.
  5. 5. Mark pulled — Once it's staged, mark each line as pulled so the request closes out.
  • No Batch tab showing: You need can_batch turned on.

Quick Fixes

  • No Batch tab: You need can_batch turned on.
  • Cannot submit: You need can_request turned on.
  • Borrow stuck: Needs someone with can_approve_allocation.
  • No notifications: Allow notifications in the browser/app. Email is the fallback.
