We do not list the raw material country of origin.

I hope this helps.

Non-preferential

Non-preferential rules of origin are used to determine the country of origin
for certain purposes. These purposes may be for quotas, anti-dumping,
anti-circumvention, statistics or origin labeling.

The basis for the non-preferential rules originates from the Kyoto
convention[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_origin#cite_note-1>
which states that if a product is wholly obtained or produced completely
within one country the product shall be deemed having origin in that
country. For a product which has been produced in more than one country the
product shall be determined to have origin in the country where the last
substantial transformation took place.

To determine exactly what was the last substantial transformation, three
general rules are applied:

1. Change of tariff classification (on any level, though 4-digit level
is the most common)
2. Value added-rule (ad valorem
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_valorem> )
3. Special processing rule, the minimum transformation is described.
For instance, in the EU non-preferential rules of origin for T-shirts
(HS6109), the origin is supposed to be in the country where the complete
making-up was done.[2]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_origin#cite_note-2>

According to the non-preferential rules a product always has exactly one
country of origin. However, the non-preferential rules may differ from
country to country; the same product may have different origins depending on
which country's scheme is applied. Usually it is the rules of the country
into which a product is being imported that apply.

Preferential

Preferential RoO are part of a free trade area
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_trade_area> or preferential trade
arrangement which includes tariff concessions. These trade arrangements
might be unilateral, bilateral or regional (also sometimes called
multilateral) trade arrangements. The rules of origin determine what
products can benefit from the tariff concession or preference, in order to
avoid transshipment <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transshipment> .

Subject: [Vantage] Country of Origin

I'm wondering if other companies have to deal with listing parts with
country of origin and how they are currently handling it.

Based on Federal Regulations, depending on what we sell, we have to list out
the country of origin on raw materials if the manufactured item is less than
80% made in the USA.

If anyone else has to deal with this I would love to talk to you about how
your company handles this inventory and paperwork issue.

We are currently on 9.05.607B, eventually going to 702.

Does anyone export products that are sourced from multiple countries of
origin? If so, how do you address the country of origin issue when
exporting? We are on Vantage 8.03.404a.

Some of our customers are requiring the country of origin appear on their packing lists and AR Invoices. We manufacture most but also purchase and resell some products that are not manufactured in the US, so a simple global mod in Crystal to the PL and AR forms would not be the answer. I am considering entering the "Made in ____" phrase on all parts of the part description of the part master. We have over 11,000 finished good part numbers so that would be cumbersome and difficult to read on those forms within the part description. Has anyone encountered this and/or come up with a better solution?
Any and all suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't change the part desciptions.

Why not take advantage of the many available userfields in the Part table.

Do a customization to add a textbox to Part maintenance for "Country of Origin". Store the data in Part.ShortChar01.

Then add Part.ShortChar01 to your CR forms.

That's what I would do in 8.03. You don't say what version you are on, but I think that customization is a feature in 6.1 also.

you can use the built in country "adapter" combo box on the form so people pick a country, but the code is what is stored in the table in some integer field

I'm on 6.1. I can add the fields, but cannot add them to the CR forms.
Just for curiosity, aside from having a better alternative in 8.03 why do
you see changing the part descriptions as a bad approach?

Thanks

Stan

If Lynn doesn't mind me jumping in here, keeping one field for one purpose
is just good (relational) database management practices.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization) I would like to see
Epicor normalize the "~" tilde fields for all of the same reasons.

There are times when a field is duplicated in two records for performance
reasons. When disc was expensive, DBAs would combine fields to save space
but there's no good reason to do so today. The cons far outweigh the pros
when it comes to maintainability and data access (SQL/Report
Writing/Updating/etc).

Before I forget to mention it (you hear it coming, don't you?)

Epicor 9 has a validated Country of Origin Field in Part Maintenance as well
as Harmonization Code tracking. If you stuff the CoO in a temp field, you'll
be ready to move it to its home in Epicor 9 easier than if you have to parse
the description (which may be inconsistent).
