Multi-factory SKU compliance

Dual or multi-factory sourcing for the same kids SKU requires separate compliance tracks unless configurations are truly identical and a single test program legitimately covers all sites — which is rare. Importers map factory A vs factory B lot codes, CPC variants or supersession dates, and Amazon uploads per active configuration.
