THE BUYING ANSWER

Start with a clear definition.

Give each distinct component a stable code and show it on the model drawing. Record dimensions and quantity separately. Similar-looking posts or panels may occupy different positions, so photographs alone are not a reliable assembly identifier.

The decision behind the detail.

A code should survive minor description changes while still distinguishing incompatible revisions. Decide when a changed part needs a new reference.

PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT

Three details to bring.

Component codes
Assign identifiers to panels, posts and other parts.
Drawing positions
Link each code to the assembly diagram.
Revision rule
Record how changed components will be distinguished.

Check together

  • Check every drawn part appears in the list.
  • Distinguish similar parts with different dimensions.
  • Keep codes consistent in packing and spare-part records.
