Automated mapping of part numbers associated with parts in a bill of
materials (BOM) to internal part numbers assigned by a BOM receiver.
Historical data on bills of materials, known part number mappings, and
parametric data describing the parts associated with bills of materials
re received. Prediction models, for predicting BOM receiver internal part
numbers, are learned from the historical BOM data, known part number
mappings data and parametric data. The learned models are applied to
unmapped BOM originator part numbers to assign BOM receiver internal part
numbers.
