We have raw materials that are used for multiple customers. When we qualify a new supplier our customers have to approve those suppliers which can take 3-6 months. Is there standard functionality that can prevent a raw material item from being used for a specific finished good item but allow it to continue being used for a different finished good? All our finished goods are unique custom part numbers.
Example:
Raw material part # 123 is used in end customer items #456 & #789. I am qualifying a new supplier for part #123. The customer for #456 has approved the supplier but the customer for #789 has not.
I realize I can have all that raw material from the new supplier come into inspect and have availability controls but I am trying to avoid having to manually release it every time for the customer who has approved it or creating new part numbers. I just want the system to not allow us to consume it for item #789.
