country of origin

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

In regards to labeling and commercial invoice, a kitted product may have to show multiple country of origins.  How is this accomplished?

    RE: country of origin

    Kitted in this sense means combining several products that are normally sold separately into a new product. Once kitted the several products are referred to as components. (The kitted BOM has the structure).

    As I understand it the Country of Origin reflects the best "characterization" of the sold product. In our case the kitted components are all similar, so Customs documents must show Made in or Product of each of the components. So, while packaged in US, with 1 item bought from Mexico, another from France. In the simplest case both countries would appear as Made in Mexico and Made in France.

    However if the item bought from France was created in Italy. Italy would be the country of origin, so Made in Mexico, Made in Italy must be used. Presumably captured from some receiving process ideally associated with a lot or batch record.

    Because vendors can change sources at a whim, placing the country of origin in a catalog leaves the item in jeopardy at the border. On the other hand, "characterization" happens at a catalog level. And I've read blogs requesting country of origin be available to sales reps.

    And I'm a newbie to AX.

    So, what are the preferred ways of doing this?

    You can insert multiple address in customer master under multiple purpose & display it in commercial invoice.
