I am often bewildered by the contractions, abbreviations etc used to save
space where the appears to be no shortage of space.
We have a maintenance contract and the notification that we get that parts
are on the way is filled part numbers, serial numbers, barcodes, work order
numbers, parent item numbers, con note number etc but absolutely no human
understandable description. We have to refer to our work order to determine
what they are sending.
Some equipment at our site is not directly managed by us thus no work order.
When we get notification that a part is on it way and causes a fury of
emails in an attempt to work out what they are sending and what they want
back. A huge waste of time for the sake of a few characters.
It really doesn't take much to write 9.1 Gbyte SCSI HardDrive
