Multi-Sourcing and Costing

We are soon installing Mapics Release 7 and are interested in using the
Multi-Sourcing functionality.  Can anyone shed some light on how this
works, particularly with respect to costing?  We run on standard costs
which assumes a single cost per part....how do the Mapics costing
programs work when multi-sourcing is turned on (which cost do they work
off of)?  Also, how do you ensure that the right price is on the PO?
Interested also in how anyone manages multi-sourcing in general...we
foresee some big issues with keeping parts straight for the purpose of
returning to vendor, etc. unless all the details are well thought-out in
advance.

 

Thanks!!
