Hi everyone-
Was asked about how GP can handle an item that has more than one country of origin. Currently, the client is using one of the User Class fields in Item Class Setup to track this.
Am looking for suggestions on how to handle this.
Just to add to the conversation, I thought of three ways to possibly do this, but I would appreciate all of your thoughts:
1) Create a different item class that has the country of origin.
2) Do something with Extender at the serial or lot level to track it per lot or serial (they are already using serial/lot tracking).
3) Create a new item number.
Thanks.
Joe
Hey Joe,
You already named part of your solutions.. Technically I used to hijack the UDF fields from the Item Maintenance to assign the CoO and some Customs product code, which sometimes is required.
The question is: what if I have the same item, but possibly various vendors from different countries supplying me with the goods ? If tracking the CoO is important, then the option would possibly be to create separate Item numbers, to be sure to keep an exact track of the quantities.. if not, then an Extender form would possibly do the job, as tracking the quantities might be less important.
Since you mention tracking of serial & lot numbers, IMHO you are probably better off with a complete different item number.
HTH.
