Could you clarify a little bit what you mean by dual sourcing an item?
Does the double up of costs only occur with items going through DRP to a 
facility where the parts are not manufactured?

We have some costs that are not right, and it is a constant struggle to 
identify items with wrong costs, figure out how they got that way, and keep 
costs fixed.
We have several facilities that manufacture products used as raw materials in 
other facilities.  We have several items that fluctuate from being purchased 
vs. manufactured based on volume needs, and capacity availability.
