IMDS: How to manage same Raw Material from Two Suppliers?

[jona_spdr]

Hello all!

I have a big doubt about this issue. Since now we have got one supplier for raw materials, so these suppliers send to us their IMDS, and finally we use this info to compile the IMDS of our final product.

But now we are thinking about to have a second source for each raw material... Is there any way to manage this in IMDS web?

Thanks in advance for your support!

I know if it is steel, there are many standard setups in the database.

According to the Change Management flow if you change a material then you should create a new IMDS ID (please see IMDS Recommendation 001, section 3.2.2). If you have, for example, two suppliers for the same raw material how you do with the PPAP?

I also would like to have the thoughts of you guys on this subject.

Alex.
