Use the supplier’s identifiers
Keep the design reference and any supplied lot or batch information with your packaging records. Record receipt date, count and the intended operation. Avoid inventing a certification or grade from a local nickname.
Mark unlike groups clearly
Separate different designs, dimensions, component sets or condition groups. Tell the receiver which records apply to each. A single total can hide differences that affect assembly and acceptance.
Keep the handoff record current
Update counts and document changes before dispatch. Use the receiver’s agreed identification and reporting process. This notebook helps organize the conversation; it does not replace your operation’s required traceability system.
