I’d suggest using the available SAP fields for OEM and OEM part number. Don’t put them in the text fields…or anything about the supplier/distributor. Anything with digits needs its own field or custom attribute.
Why?
You may change suppliers.
The OEM may update part numbers.
You may change from the OEM to an aftermarket part: the OEM may discontinue it, or Purchasing may get involved.
