P21 Part Creation — Start Here

The goal: create P21 parts for items quoted/requested that are in Amplify but not yet in P21 — right description, category, manufacturer, and sellable at all ENOW locations (91·92·93·94·96). Pool: 10,673 parts.
Here's what we came out with. Please review all three — everything is pre-filled from Amplify data and research, so most of it is skim & confirm. The Needs you counts are the ones that genuinely need your call.

The three things to review

1 · Category → P21 ClassID5

Category matching READY

Which P21 category code each Amplify category maps to — our proposed P21 category code for each Amplify category — matched against P21's own category codes and their member items, then researched. For your review.

2 · Manufacturer → P21 ClassID4

Manufacturer matching READY

Decisions this comes down to

Inside the tools above
CategoriesReview the matches; decide the 36 that need you (category tool)
ManufacturersConfirm the 2 that need you, and decide the ~35 recurring brands (Parker, Mac Valves, Swagelok…) worth a new P21 code — or leave blank
DescriptionsReview the proposed descriptions; ~300 are thin (part#-only, no Amplify data to build from)
Scope & policy
Non-electrical items~1,850 items (pneumatics, hydraulics, bearings…) have no electrical P21 category — create under DEFAULT, or skip?
Never-quoted condition~8,000 requested-but-never-quoted parts — create in the condition Amplify has in stock?
PricingImport Amplify pricing, or leave blank as ENOW items are today (reps price each quote)?

Tested on staging — API only, no writes to P21's database
