Open this workflow ↗02 / Shared confirmation
Every Route Must Resolve the Same Four Decisions
The evidence differs; the final control points do not.
- 01
Identity
What exactly is requested?
- 02
Technical fit
Which interfaces and conditions control it?
- 03
Supply scope
What product, records and packaging are included?
- 04
Approval
What releases production and delivery?
03 / When identity is uncertain
Do Not Choose a Product Page From Appearance Alone
Use the replacement workflow when the code is missing, incomplete or obsolete.
- All visible markings and suffixes
- Several clear photographs
- Controlled mounting and shaft dimensions
- Equipment and operating context
- Reason for replacement
Prepare an actionable inquiry
Know the Buyer Situation but Not the Product?
Choose the workflow first and include the evidence you already have. Product identification can be part of the review.
