Hello again,
I appreciate the help I've received. Here is another problem I find in the terminology that I could use a hand in understanding.
Design Record, Engineering Drawing Change Level, and Date
My understanding is that the design record is the engineering drawing and any written specifications. We have a catalogued part, so we provide the customer a drawing based on what they have specified in writing or verbal communication. Being a catalogued part that doesn't change, should there even be anything in the Engineering Drawing Change Level and Date blank.
Furthermore, the end customer has specified that we must update PPAP documentation to include what they call Revision B which we have no idea how it came to be seeing that our part does not change, and there has been no formal request for a customized part.
Nor do we have access to the final customer to find out. Contacting the final customer might jeopardize their relationship with their distributor by us jumping the fence, and the distributor has not contacted the customer to get the information from them. They just passed it up to us.
The relationship is as follows:
Our company -> Distributor -> Customer
