Scope
Keep the whole identifier with punctuation and suffixes. Do not merge revisions just because names are similar.
Dependencies
Label the record as a model, complete configuration, option, service assembly or bare component.
Evidence
Treat aliases as search aids unless a source establishes equivalence. An alias match does not approve substitution.
Commercial boundary
Ask what the delivery includes when a component appears under several OEM numbers.
Handover
Document the exact identifier to be delivered rather than only the family name used at the start of the inquiry.
