Is anyone doing dual sourcing for a single SKU, and managing dual countries of origin? Any advice or pitfalls? How do you manage it in Netsuite?

I have some items I triple source. and I dont have a good way of dealing with the limited country of origin. I was thinking of making a custom record field. But how exactly to get it to work is the hard part. with multi vendor, there should be multi COO.

@Pete Kastner how do you handle downstream systems like an ecomm store or pos that only accepts one COO per SKU?
and does all the inventory end up in the same spot at the warehouse or do you keep it separate?

I don't have a good way currently. I did find Enhancement # 264790 Summary: Add new Manufacturer Country on item record

@kevinharwood we made sub-skus for the different origins. Oil/gas equipment distribution. Sometimes there are 20 different vendors / origins based on customer approved manufacturer lists.
