The **Origin** column is divided into two sub-tabs: 1. **Origin:** Displays detailed information about the mother parcel and how its stones and carats were assigned to the child. ![](https://support.itraceit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-26-2025-01-59-53-3379-PM.png?width=688&height=331&name=image-png-Feb-26-2025-01-59-53-3379-PM.png) 2. **Percentages:** Provides a breakdown of the carat distribution by **country of origin** and **mine** in percentage format. This article explains the purpose and functionality of each sub-tab to help users navigate the interface effectively. ### **1. Origin Sub-Tab ![](https://support.itraceit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-26-2025-02-00-44-4282-PM.png?width=688&height=331&name=image-png-Feb-26-2025-02-00-44-4282-PM.png)** The **Origin** sub-tab presents specific details about the original parcel and its split, allowing users to track the journey of stones and carats from their source. It includes: - **Mother Parcel:** The original parcel  (or from which the child was created). - **Country:** The country where the mother parcel was mined. - **Mining Company:** The company responsible for extracting the mother parcel. - **Mine:** The specific mine where the mother parcel originated. - **Weight (Carat):** The total weight of the stones (also taken from the mother parcel for the child). - **Stones Shared:** The number of stones (also extracted from the mother parcel to create the child). - **Percentage Carat Shared:** The proportion of the mother parcel’s total carat weight that was transferred to the child for example. This sub-tab ensures that all parcel transformations are accurately recorded, allowing for seamless tracking of origin data. ### **2. Percentages Sub-Tab** ![](https://support.itraceit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-26-2025-02-04-07-5861-PM.png?width=688&height=330&name=image-png-Feb-26-2025-02-04-07-5861-PM.png) The **Percentages** sub-tab provides a visual representation of how the total carat weight is distributed by: - **Country of Origin:** Displays the percentage of total carat weight that originated from each country. ![](https://support.itraceit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-26-2025-02-04-46-8014-PM.png?width=688&height=330&name=image-png-Feb-26-2025-02-04-46-8014-PM.png) - **Mine:** Shows the percentage of total carat weight extracted from each specific mine. ![](https://support.itraceit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-26-2025-02-05-20-4667-PM.png?width=688&height=330&name=image-png-Feb-26-2025-02-05-20-4667-PM.png) This view helps you quickly assess the geographical distribution of the stones and carats, providing valuable insights for compliance, reporting, and traceability validation.   The **Origin** column is a key component of iTraceiT, offering both detailed parcel history and a high-level view of carat and stone distribution. By using the **Origin** and **Percentages** sub-tabs, users can verify the source of their stones, ensure accuracy in reporting, and maintain full transparency in their tracking processes. - [Getting Started](https://support.itraceit.io/en/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [1.
