Phil,
Yes, that is correct. As the car entered the Chevy side, one guy looked at the body # to link the car to the VIN and to the order info and then generate the broadcast sheets.
But otherwise Chevy pretty much ignored the tag. It had no value to them.

This info also resulted in the printing of the Broadcast Copy essential for body lock and assignment of the VIN number.

One clarification: VIN was assigned as the car right as it came to the Chevy side. The linking of the body # and order info didn't generate / affect the VIN assignment.
