Bar Code - Multiple Suppliers

My company is currently on V11, and about to upgrade to V12.  We have a hurdle that I am hoping someone has come across and found a solution for...

We have multiple products that we source from multiple suppliers.  I am looking for a way to use multiple UPS codes for one product number.  

For example...Product ABC.  We purchase from Supplier X, and Supplier Y.  On the product page under the "Identification" tab, I have the UPC entered from Supplier X.  When I scan the UPC it pulls up Product ABC in the invoice.  But  I do not have anywhere to enter the UPC for the product from Supplier Y so when THAT one is scanned, it also pulls up Product ABC.

There is a place to enter separate UPC's under the "Supplier" tab, but it has no effect on entering products to an invoice with a barcode scanner.

I hope this is clear enough to make sense of.  If not, please let me know.

    Unless someone has any clever tricks bespoke work was required to resolve this issue.  It won't be able to work on the Supplier record UPC code as the key to this record is Supplier and Product Code, you could therefore have the same UPC code on multiple records which would then make it impossible for X3 to interpret in a lot of cases.

    We added a barcode field to the UOM grid which was then considered by bespoke code, as in our case, the client needed multiple barcodes for Pallets, Shippers, Packs and Eaches to all convert to the original product code, this gave us more flexibility.
