I'll TRY to be brief...
This all starts with your BEA (Bid / Evaluate / Award) process. In your RFQ / RFP documents, you would have (or now, WISH you would have) filled in a list of requirements for document and data submit talks from the Vendor(s). You would have been able to assign, at the very least, place-holder Vendor Drawing Numbers to seed your Document Control folks with the information they would need to expedite the receipt of the requested data. After award, the requested documents (assuming you have spread the bids carefully with respect to this point) became contractual. Now, as the PE / PM, you probably would also have provide the Document Control folks with a Table Of Contents that spells out what documents go into the Data Books, i.e., in which binder and in what order. In that way, either at or shortly after shipment by the Vendor ex-works, the Data Books are nearly 100% assembled, which really helps out the automation / PLC programmers in the field.
That's how it's done.
