Of course that is an issue and there is a basic rule to follow.
DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT.
I have been able to pick up on install with 1 piece of paper and
maybe a tape.
I have seen installations send an object deck on a tape (another
extreme was an object deck in punched cards!) the person who
installed one product hid it in an undocumented CSI and it took some
digging just to find the CSI as he didn't bother to document it, I
had to guess the name. What a PITA.
Of course he was a short term consultant.
Since then I have suggested the consultants stay away from installs.

I've sometimes had to spend time figuring out what the correct CSI is.
SMP/E can be very nice, but their is still a role for documentation.
