A manufacturer part number (MPN) is assigned by a manufacturer to a product or version. It differs from a merchant's SKU and need not be globally unique without manufacturer context. Product feeds call for the actual manufacturer-assigned number rather than an invented substitute.[1]
For a component, verify both brand and MPN as well as the relevant version. A small suffix can distinguish variants. Store the MPN separately from internal codes so matching and customer enquiries do not depend on changing product titles.
