Subcontracting one operation to multiple suppliers (standard approach?)

Hi all, in D365 FO, we have a subcontracted routing operation that can be executed by multiple suppliers. In the standard setup, the operation is linked to a vendor resource, which makes the subcontractor fixed at route level. To use a different supplier, we currently need to change the route or create alternative routes (one per supplier).

We don’t see a standard way to dynamically select or optimize the subcontractor (by cost, lead time, or capacity) while keeping the same route and operation.

Question:
Is changing/maintaining multiple routes per supplier the accepted standard practice, or is there another standard (no customization) approach you recommend?

Thanks!

Good day,

I believe the only option is to have multiple routes per supplier.

Best regards,
