Country of Origin

We manufacture products in multiple production facilities including the 
US, China, Mexico, and France which are the same product.  Based on 
capacity we may sell product though the US facility from any of the other 
facitiltes.  This creates a problem for NAFTA and other export compliance 
since we need to identify the county of origin.

Currently we have a different part number of each county of origin for 
example part 123 is from the us and C123 is from China.  This creates a 
problem because we may choose to ship product produced in a different 
facility as a result of regional capacity or quality issues, if we do this 
we need to maintain the order to change the ordered part.

How are others tracking country of origin for product with multiple 
countries of origin?

We currently run R5.5 and have PDM is this information is helpful.  Your 
feedback is appreciated,
