Some colleagues I have spoken with prefer to put all variants under one request to save the data entry in our system.

It doesn’t make sense to request Level 3 documentation when it is redundant, but would it make more sense to separately request a Level 3 for the main part number, and a separate Level 2 or 4 for the unique Color/Gloss/Finish variants? That way data, samples and approvals are all tracked one for one.

Input appreciated!

Thanks!
Rick
