Give every tool, consumable, spare, document, label, and packing component a unique line, quantity, status, and inspection method. Make the approved sample, carton label, manual, listing, replacement map, and production packing record point to that same revision. Before release, reconcile every claim and photograph the packed kit. After sale, code returns by the failed BOM line or expectation so corrections change the controlled source, not just the next shipment.<\/p>\n<p>A PDR kit becomes supportable when a buyer can answer five questions without opening a dispute: Which exact kit was ordered? What was supposed to be inside? What evidence shows it was packed? What may be replaced or replenished? Which approved revision supports the listing and manual? A large assortment can still generate missing-part claims when similar tips are unnamed, consumables are counted inconsistently, optional items appear in photos, or production changes without synchronized documents.<\/p>\n<p>This guide is for distributors, importers, private-label brands, marketplace sellers, purchasing teams, and product managers controlling multi-part paintless dent repair kits. It covers BOM architecture, packing verification, sample and production checks, listing\/manual alignment, spares, and return feedback. It does not define a universal PDR kit, certify vehicle compatibility, promise repair results, set an inspection sampling plan, or replace product-specific safety information and current commercial terms.<\/p>\n<h2>Start with the user job, not the carton size<\/h2>\n<p>The BOM should express the work the kit is honestly intended to support. A supervised practice kit, mobile glue-pulling kit, body-shop assortment, hail-response set, and wholesale starter package do not need the same tools, consumable quantities, storage, instructions, or replacement path. If the listing promises several jobs, each promised role needs a controlled component or an explicit limitation.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>User job<\/th>\n<th>BOM roles to consider<\/th>\n<th>Evidence before claiming coverage<\/th>\n<th>Common expectation gap<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Supervised glue-pull practice<\/td>\n<td>Inspection aid, approved cleaner\/release path, glue gun, matched adhesive, identified tabs, pulling device, finishing tools, protection, instructions<\/td>\n<td>Exact contents, adhesive and tool instructions, training boundary, sample layout<\/td>\n<td>Kit photo implies every dent or paint condition is suitable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mobile dent work<\/td>\n<td>Inspection, access tools, pushing and pulling choices, finishing, protection, portable storage, field spares<\/td>\n<td>Workflow map, packed inventory, vehicle-storage check, replacement identifiers<\/td>\n<td>High piece count but no access coverage or replenishment plan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Body-shop support<\/td>\n<td>Broader access and pulling roles, finish control, condition checks, service parts, controlled documents<\/td>\n<td>Approved sample, role map, incoming inspection, current manuals and procedures<\/td>\n<td>Assortment is mistaken for authorization on every vehicle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hail-oriented glue pulling<\/td>\n<td>Puller and lifter roles, tabs, adhesive, glue gun, tap-down tools, protection, consumable replenishment<\/td>\n<td>Named packing list, matched consumables, process limits, spare quantities<\/td>\n<td>Consumables or small heads are missing, mixed, or not reorderable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wholesale or private label<\/td>\n<td>Controlled product identity, packaging, labels, language, claims, spares, lot evidence, support route<\/td>\n<td>Frozen BOM and artwork, golden sample, release record, change notice<\/td>\n<td>Listing, manual, carton, and physical kit describe different revisions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/superpdr.com\/building-a-pdr-starter-kit\/\">Building a PDR Starter Kit<\/a> guide to map tool roles before choosing an assortment, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/superpdr.com\/pdr-tool-selection-guide\/\">PDR Tool Selection Guide<\/a> to keep selection separate from unsupported compatibility claims. The BOM begins only after the intended workflow and buyer tier are named.<\/p>\n<h2>Separate core tools, consumables, spares, and support items<\/h2>\n<p>A kit line should state why an item exists. Four classes prevent a seller from confusing durable contents with quantities that will be used up or replaced:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Core tools<\/strong> perform inspection, access, pushing, pulling, leverage, or finish-control roles and normally remain with the kit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consumables<\/strong> are depleted, contaminated, cured, worn, or time-limited through normal use. Adhesive sticks and other chemistry-related items need exact identity and matched instructions; their mere presence does not prove suitability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replacement parts<\/strong> restore a declared tool or interface. Tips, caps, seals, pads, cords, fasteners, and other service items need compatible parent IDs and a reorder route.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Support and packing items<\/strong> include the case, tray, dividers, protective sleeves, labels, manual, packing list, inspection card, warranty or support information, and any required warnings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do not inflate the advertised piece count by silently mixing these classes. A tap-down body with several interchangeable heads can be described accurately, but the listing must make clear whether the count refers to tools, heads, consumables, or every loose item. The same rule applies to multi-piece pull sets, bags of tabs, and adhesive-stick quantities.<\/p>\n<h2>What the verified Super PDR kit records demonstrate<\/h2>\n<p>Current first-party records show why a controlled BOM must preserve model scope. The <a href=\"https:\/\/superpdr.com\/pdr-tools\/tool-set-kits\/super-pdr-damage-removal-pdr-tools-dent.html\">MPT-YK0518US wholesale kit page<\/a> lists a six-piece metal pull set, one T-type puller, one glue gun, one bottle, one toolbox, five glue sticks, 20 plastic tabs, one nine-piece metal tap-down set, and one hammer. The page also lists a 2 kg weight. Those are facts for that named record; they do not establish the bottle contents, fixed tab colors, instructions, compatibility, or completeness for every workflow.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/superpdr.com\/pdr-tools\/tool-set-kits\/super-pdr-dent-removal-kit-pdr-tools-set.html\">MPT-TK0384US page<\/a> identifies a 19-piece set. That number alone cannot tell a buyer which job each piece serves, whether heads are counted separately, which items are consumable, or what can be reordered. A piece count is an inventory claim, not a workflow or quality result.<\/p>\n<p>The reviewed <a href=\"https:\/\/superpdr.com\/pdr-tools\/tool-set-kits\/dent-repair-kit-car-body.html\">hail-damage kit page<\/a> lists one dent puller, one dent lifter, one glue gun, ten glue sticks, 15 glue tabs, one rubber hammer, and one tap-down set with ten heads. This packing list can support a model-scoped BOM example. It cannot be generalized into a required industry configuration, and the page&#x27;s broad repair claims should not be treated as acceptance criteria.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/superpdr.com\/super-pdr-b2b-faq\/\">Super PDR B2B FAQ<\/a> makes the same boundary explicit: page facts must be separated from terms requiring a dated quotation. For the exact kit and order, confirm SKU, revision, packing list, quantity, optional items, price, MOQ, stock, lead time, destination, delivery term, packaging, documents, warranty scope, replacements, inspection, and support in writing.<\/p>\n<h2>Required fields in a controlled PDR kit BOM<\/h2>\n<p>A useful BOM is both a purchasing record and an inspection index. Avoid a single cell such as \u201cPDR tools, 38 pcs.\u201d Use one row for each controlled identity or deliberately packaged subassembly.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>BOM field<\/th>\n<th>What to record<\/th>\n<th>Why it reduces claims<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Kit identity<\/td>\n<td>Brand owner, kit name, SKU, market, language, sales-channel identifier<\/td>\n<td>Prevents two similar assortments from sharing an ambiguous name<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BOM revision<\/td>\n<td>Revision code, approval date, change owner, effective lot or order<\/td>\n<td>Shows which contents and documents control a shipment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Line ID<\/td>\n<td>Stable component or subassembly ID<\/td>\n<td>Lets packing, support, and returns name the same item<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Parent-child relationship<\/td>\n<td>Kit, tray, bag, tool, replaceable part, or consumable parent<\/td>\n<td>Preserves where loose parts belong and which tool accepts a spare<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Description<\/td>\n<td>Plain name plus distinguishing geometry, interface, color only when controlled, and use role<\/td>\n<td>Reduces disputes caused by generic names such as \u201cpuller\u201d or \u201ctips\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Quantity and unit<\/td>\n<td>Number per kit and unit such as piece, set, pair, bag, or bottle<\/td>\n<td>Prevents \u201cone set\u201d from being confused with the pieces inside it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Count basis<\/td>\n<td>Whether heads, sticks, tabs, subassemblies, manuals, and packing items enter the advertised count<\/td>\n<td>Reconciles marketing count with the physical list<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Status<\/td>\n<td>Required, optional, market-specific, service spare, or not included<\/td>\n<td>Stops optional photo props from becoming expected contents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Specification reference<\/td>\n<td>Approved drawing, material or finish requirement, interface, size basis, or exact supplier specification<\/td>\n<td>Makes substitutions and inspection decisions traceable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inspection method<\/td>\n<td>Count, identity match, visual condition, fit check, measurement, document check, or approved functional method<\/td>\n<td>Turns a name into a repeatable release control<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Packing location<\/td>\n<td>Tray cavity, numbered bag, sleeve, case position, or carton layer<\/td>\n<td>Helps packers and customers locate small parts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Label text<\/td>\n<td>Part ID, quantity, parent tool, warning, lot, or reorder code as applicable<\/td>\n<td>Connects loose items to the BOM and replacement path<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Replacement rule<\/td>\n<td>Consumable, replaceable, repairable only by an authorized route, or not separately supplied<\/td>\n<td>Prevents support promises without a compatible part record<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Evidence<\/td>\n<td>Approved sample photo, packing photo, inspection record, supplier document, or current manual<\/td>\n<td>Shows what supported release without inventing a test result<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Weights and dimensions need a named basis. Separate individual item, set, net product, packed kit, and gross carton values. If a listing says \u201c2 kg\u201d while receiving records measure a carton with shipping materials, the values are not directly comparable. Define the measuring method, tolerance source, instrument, and packaging state before using the number as an acceptance field.<\/p>\n<h2>Control SKU, package, and listing identity together<\/h2>\n<p>The kit SKU should resolve to one commercial identity and one approved BOM revision. The unit label, inner packing list, manual, invoice description, marketplace listing, barcode record, carton label, and support database should use compatible names. They do not need identical long copy, but none may imply contents or capabilities the others exclude.<\/p>\n<p>For organizations using GS1 identifiers, apply the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gs1.org\/1\/gtinrules\/en\/rule\/266\/declared-net-content\">GS1 declared-net-content rule<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gs1.org\/1\/gtinrules\/en\/rule\/270\/packcase-quantity\">pack\/case quantity rule<\/a> at the relevant packaging level. GS1 states that a change to legally required declared net content, including a declared count, requires a new GTIN, and that changing the number of trade items in a case or cases in a predefined pallet configuration requires a new GTIN at the affected higher packaging level. Local requirements may be stricter. Do not assume every internal BOM revision needs a new GTIN; have the responsible brand owner evaluate the exact change under the current standard and applicable market rules.<\/p>\n<p>Create a listing claim matrix next to the BOM. For every title phrase, bullet, infographic, comparison, and included-parts image, identify the BOM lines and evidence that support it. Mark accessories shown for demonstration as not included. If color, quantity, case, plug, language, or spare content varies by market, separate the variation by SKU or controlled option rather than hiding it in a footnote.<\/p>\n<h2>Make the manual and replacement map part of the configuration<\/h2>\n<p>A manual is not a generic insert. Its model list, contents diagram, setup sequence, safety information, consumable identity, maintenance, troubleshooting, and support contact must match the supplied revision. A QR code should resolve to a controlled current document and preserve an archive or revision record; a live link that silently changes does not explain which instructions shipped with an earlier kit.<\/p>\n<p>Small items deserve explicit replacement logic. Name each tip, head, pad, cap, adhesive, tab family, bottle, scraper, connector, or other replenishment item that the support team expects to supply. State the compatible parent line and revision. Similar-looking interfaces should not be declared interchangeable without verified fit and use evidence.<\/p>\n<p>When chemistry or powered tools are included, obtain their exact instructions and destination-market documents before release. Do not infer adhesive temperatures, heating times, release methods, electrical ratings, or safety settings from another product. Presence in a kit is not proof that two items are compatible.<\/p>\n<h2>Build packing verification around visible identities<\/h2>\n<p>The packing station needs a released work instruction derived from the BOM, not a marketplace screenshot. Arrange the kit in a fixed sequence, identify trays or bags, and make small parts countable. A complete-set reference image should show only included items and the correct revision. Detailed images should reveal cavities, bag labels, tip shapes, and quantities that a wide photo cannot resolve.<\/p>\n<p>Use independent signals where practical:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a line-by-line pick or scan record tied to the kit and BOM revision;<\/li>\n<li>a first-piece packed-kit check after changeover;<\/li>\n<li>countable bags or labeled cavities for small parts;<\/li>\n<li>controlled scale checks only when a validated weight method can distinguish the intended error;<\/li>\n<li>photographs of the open kit, closed case, labels, seals, and outer carton;<\/li>\n<li>a final document check for packing list, manual language, revision, and support information;<\/li>\n<li>separation of accepted, held, reworked, and rejected kits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A weight check cannot replace a component check when two parts have similar mass or normal variation overlaps the missing item. Likewise, a photo cannot prove material, hidden fit, electrical safety, or future performance. Use each method only for the question it can answer.<\/p>\n<h2>Sample approval and production release<\/h2>\n<p>The approved sample should be identified by kit SKU, BOM revision, component revisions, artwork revision, document revision, date, and custody. Photograph it in the same packing sequence used for production and record any authorized deviation. Calling a sample \u201cgolden\u201d without a controlled identity makes it a memory aid, not an acceptance reference.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/superpdr.com\/pdr-windshield-repair-tool-quality-control\/\">PDR and Windshield Repair Tool Quality Control<\/a> guide separates public product facts, buyer incoming-inspection observations, and supplier documents. Apply that separation here. A product page supports only its visible model-scoped facts; an inspection supports only the inspected quantity and method; a supplier document supports only the identified scope and version.<\/p>\n<p>Do not copy an arbitrary sampling number into the BOM. Define the lot, risk classes, sampling basis, escalation rule, and acceptance criteria in the purchasing and quality plan. Safety-relevant damage, identity conflicts, or missing critical instructions should not be averaged into a general score.<\/p>\n<h2>Ten-step BOM-to-release workflow<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Define the buyer and job.<\/strong> Name the user tier, workflow, market, sales channel, exclusions, training assumption, and support promise. Remove claims that the intended configuration cannot evidence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Map required roles.<\/strong> List inspection, access, pushing, pulling, finishing, protection, consumable, storage, documentation, and replacement roles that apply. Mark roles intentionally outside scope.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assign kit and line identities.<\/strong> Create the SKU, revision, stable line IDs, parent-child relationships, quantity units, and count basis. Distinguish required, optional, market-specific, and service-only items.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lock specifications and evidence.<\/strong> Attach current drawings, interfaces, material or finish declarations, approved supplier records, instructions, and inspection methods. Convert unknowns into confirmation gates rather than guesses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Align sample and documents.<\/strong> Reconcile the physical sample, BOM, packing list, tray, labels, manual, listing, quotation, and complete-set images. Record and close every mismatch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Approve packing controls.<\/strong> Define pick sequence, bag or cavity labels, line checks, photo views, scale method if validated, document checks, hold areas, and rework authority.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run first-piece verification.<\/strong> At production start or revision change, unpack and count the first completed kit against the released BOM. Inspect identity, condition, fit where approved, packaging, labels, and documents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Release production by recorded evidence.<\/strong> Apply the approved lot and sampling plan, preserve results, quarantine nonconforming quantity, and prevent mixed revisions. Do not release on verbal confirmation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verify the channel copy.<\/strong> Before inventory becomes available, compare every listing claim and image with the released kit. Confirm marketplace variation, barcode, carton, language, and support records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feed returns into change control.<\/strong> Assign a return code, identify the failed BOM line or expectation, preserve evidence, investigate recurrence, approve corrective action, update controlled sources, and verify effectiveness on later lots.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Turn return reasons into controlled corrections<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cMissing parts\u201d is too broad for prevention. Code the claim by kit SKU, BOM revision, lot or order, component line, quantity, discovery point, package condition, and evidence available. Separate at least these mechanisms:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Return or claim mechanism<\/th>\n<th>Evidence to collect<\/th>\n<th>Control to review<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Required line absent<\/td>\n<td>Customer opening photos, seals, packing record, kit weight only if validated<\/td>\n<td>Pick\/scan step, bag or cavity design, first-piece and final count<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong or substituted line<\/td>\n<td>Part label, interface, sample comparison, change history<\/td>\n<td>Supplier change control, line identity, mixed inventory segregation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Quantity expectation mismatch<\/td>\n<td>Listing screenshot and version, BOM count basis, manual and packing list<\/td>\n<td>Marketing claim matrix and unit definitions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optional photo item expected<\/td>\n<td>Published image, caption, variant selection, included-parts panel<\/td>\n<td>Image governance and explicit \u201cnot included\u201d disclosure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Consumable depleted or unsuitable<\/td>\n<td>Item identity, lot, instructions, storage and use record<\/td>\n<td>Quantity promise, replenishment path, matched product documents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spare does not fit<\/td>\n<td>Parent and spare IDs, revisions, interface evidence<\/td>\n<td>Compatibility map, replacement labeling, revision control<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Transit damage or loose components<\/td>\n<td>Outer carton, internal layout, seal and arrival photos<\/td>\n<td>Packaging specification, separation, retention, transit process<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Manual or label conflicts<\/td>\n<td>Shipped document, QR destination, unit and carton labels<\/td>\n<td>Document release, language control, model and revision matching<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Buyer expected unsupported capability<\/td>\n<td>Listing, advertisement, support transcript, declared use case<\/td>\n<td>Scope statement, training boundary, claim approval<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>One complaint does not prove a batch defect, and a low return count does not prove the packing system works. Trend comparable codes by revision and evidence quality. Correct the governing source: BOM, work instruction, packaging, document, listing, supplier control, or support script. Then confirm that the correction appears in the next applicable release record.<\/p>\n<h2>Stop conditions before production or listing release<\/h2>\n<p>Stop approval when any of these conditions remains unresolved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>kit SKU, BOM revision, sample identity, carton, manual, listing, or barcode record conflicts;<\/li>\n<li>the advertised piece count has no documented count basis;<\/li>\n<li>a required tool, consumable, spare, label, instruction, or protective item lacks a stable line ID and quantity;<\/li>\n<li>an optional or demonstration item appears as an included component;<\/li>\n<li>similar parts cannot be distinguished or tied to a compatible parent tool;<\/li>\n<li>a supplier substitutes contents, material, finish, interface, packaging, or documents without approved change control;<\/li>\n<li>chemistry, powered items, or replacement interfaces lack exact matched instructions or required market evidence;<\/li>\n<li>a packed sample cannot be reconciled line by line with the BOM and listing;<\/li>\n<li>the inspection plan relies only on gross weight or a wide photo that cannot reveal the targeted error;<\/li>\n<li>mixed revisions cannot be segregated and traced;<\/li>\n<li>safety-relevant damage, identity conflict, or missing critical instructions is treated as an acceptable average;<\/li>\n<li>return data cannot identify which kit revision and BOM line failed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stopping release protects the current claim and order. The gap may be closed with a corrected list, relabeled parts, a new sample, matched instructions, a narrower listing, approved rework, or a formally released revision.<\/p>\n<h2>PDR kit BOM release checklist<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Buyer job, market, channel, scope, exclusions, and support promise are named.<\/li>\n<li>Kit SKU, barcode responsibility, BOM revision, effective lot, and change owner are recorded.<\/li>\n<li>Every core tool, consumable, spare, document, label, and packing item has a line ID.<\/li>\n<li>Quantities use clear units and the advertised piece-count basis is documented.<\/li>\n<li>Parent-child and replacement compatibility relationships are explicit.<\/li>\n<li>Required, optional, market-specific, and service-only items are separated.<\/li>\n<li>Product facts remain scoped to the exact named records and revisions.<\/li>\n<li>Approved sample, BOM, packing list, tray, labels, manual, listing, and quotation agree.<\/li>\n<li>Complete-set and detail images show only the correct contents and revision.<\/li>\n<li>Chemistry and powered items have exact matched instructions and required documents.<\/li>\n<li>Packing work instruction, first-piece check, lot plan, hold process, and release record are approved.<\/li>\n<li>Scale or photo controls are used only for defects they can actually detect.<\/li>\n<li>Marketplace variations, count claims, language, and images match available inventory.<\/li>\n<li>Return codes capture kit, revision, line, mechanism, and evidence.<\/li>\n<li>Changes update every affected physical, documentary, channel, and support record before release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is a higher PDR kit piece count less likely to be returned?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Piece count does not show whether the assortment fits the buyer job, whether small items are identifiable, whether consumables are matched, or whether the listing agrees with the carton. A larger count can create more claim points when the basis is unclear. Control the roles, line identities, quantities, documents, and replacement path.<\/p>\n<h3>Should glue tabs, sticks, and tap-down heads count as separate pieces?<\/h3>\n<p>They may, but the count basis must be visible and consistent. State whether the advertised total includes every tab, stick, head, tool body, manual, or packing item, and publish a line-level included-parts list. Do not let \u201cone set\u201d mean a subassembly in the BOM and many pieces in the advertisement without explanation.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between a BOM and a packing list?<\/h3>\n<p>The BOM is the controlled configuration source: it includes identities, relationships, specifications, status, revision, and inspection rules. The packing list is a shipment-facing or customer-facing expression of relevant contents. It should derive from the released BOM, but it does not replace specifications, evidence, change history, or service compatibility.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a complete-kit photo replace a component count?<\/h3>\n<p>No. A photo helps verify layout, visible identities, and package condition, but small parts may overlap or hide and similar items may look identical. Pair controlled overview and detail photos with line-by-line count or scan records. Do not use images to infer material, compatibility, electrical safety, or performance.<\/p>\n<h3>How should private-label sellers control marketplace images?<\/h3>\n<p>Tie every image and infographic to a kit SKU, market, variant, and BOM revision. Use an included-parts panel generated from the released list, mark demonstration items as not included, and remove obsolete images before new inventory is available. Archive the approved version used for each listing release.<\/p>\n<h3>When does a BOM change require a new GTIN?<\/h3>\n<p>That depends on the exact change, packaging level, market, and current GS1 or local rules. GS1 requires changes for specified cases including legally required declared net content and pack\/case quantity changes at the relevant level. The brand owner should evaluate and document each change; do not automatically reuse or replace an identifier based only on an internal revision number.<\/p>\n<h3>What should happen after a missing-part claim?<\/h3>\n<p>Identify the kit SKU, BOM revision, lot or order, claimed line, quantity, seals, package condition, and available customer and packing evidence.
