I am confused about the part I underlined. Specifically, I am trying to account for some Igus parts, and I can't even find a list of what was included other than "Igus Bag" with "various" parts, and this is not very helpful. I think, but am not sure, that we used more bearings than were in the KOP this year, but 1. I can't find a list so I don't know; 2. If they do include different year's KOP parts, how do I account for them (2 entries, one with the recent KOP quantity and the rest at some Price?); 3. Some of the parts on Igus, such as the rods, do not have a price on the website and you have to ask for a quote. Does it have to be this difficult?

Also, with different models of FP motors, if the one model was in one years KOP, and a different model was in a different KOP, do I account for the price of both, one, or neither?
