Compare identity evidence beyond the description
Supplier V-A uses sleeve code SX9 for the internal item SL-B. This sample mapping requires matching colour, dimensions and pack unit against an approved sample record. A similar description for SX9R does not satisfy those checks. This is a local item-identification rule, not a universal catalogue standard.
| Supplier code | Checked attributes | Internal target | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| V-A / SX9 | Blue; 20 × 12 cm; each | SL-B | Approved MAP-A / owner Lin |
| V-A / SX9R | Red; dimensions unconfirmed | No target | Needs sample review |
| V-B / SX9 | Different supplier; not reviewed | No target | Do not reuse V-A mapping |
Scope the mapping to the supplier and revision
- Collect supplier code and sample evidence
- Compare required attributes
- Approve internal target and unit
- Record supplier-specific mapping
- Test one receiving line
A new supplier or changed attribute returns the mapping to review; a text match must not silently inherit approval.
The output is MAP-A for V-A/SX9 to SL-B in each units. Preserve the checked sample reference and the mapping revision used by a receipt. Do not use the alias to merge historical item records or to infer a carton conversion; those would require separate decisions.
Can a V-B delivery marked SX9 be automatically received as SL-B?
Show the worked answer
No. Only V-A/SX9 is approved. Hold the V-B line for identity review; code equality across suppliers is insufficient.
