Country of Origin - suppliers in two different countries

How are others handling Country of Origin when a part number could be purchased from a supplier in one country and also a different supplier in another country? For example, part 12345 can be purchased from a source in China or a source in the US.

We need to be able to integrate the correct country code to Quickship, print the correct country on pack slips, etc., but I believe there is only one field for Country of Origin (on the Part record in the Intrastat section).

Found a thread on the topic from 2023 but hoping maybe something new has occurred since then. (Same part number, 2 country of origin, 2 different lot number)

We are defaulting to a primary and capturing the COO at receipt to save with each lot. There is a origins tab which I think is for finished assemblies we may hijack to list all of the possible origins.

Thanks @gpayne - I’m validating if they are using lot tracking, and if not, how are they managing the process today (manually).
