How do you define product code for effective BOM? I mean if you include supplier information in the product code.

Example
Supplier Info
A SA
B SB

Product Info
Mouse M11
Keyboard K02

Product Code = Product Info + Supplier Info = M11-SA
 
First point is that, unless the supplier supplies a materially different component, you should not do this as it breaks the concept behind MRP. This is not a technical, but a philosophical issue.

If you feel you must....

There is a supplier field in the Item Master. There is no simple way of automatically creating the item however you may wish to create a custom browse/lookup to be used in 1.4.1 which encodes this rules. I've seen this done before. You will then need to use supplier schedules to automatically generate demand.

Hope it helps..but think about my first point.
