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,
