The standard states that you must control external documents by:
1. Identifying it
2. Controlling their distribution.
I can apply these requirements to unique/singular external documents such as equipment manuals/standards/guidelines etc..... Its easy enough to identify those external documents by their title alone and controlling distribution is easy enough. But when it comes to controlling things such as customer purchase orders or customer specifications, do you have to identify each document so that it can be easily retrievable? Currently purchase orders and customer specification are bundled in their respective folders. Distinction isnt made so that each customer has their own folder. Controlling distribution seems easy enough, there is only one copy of it and its located in the filing cabinet. Do i need come up with an identification system for each purchase order/customer spec and create a list so its retrievable?
