GTIN based Inventory Availability and Scheduling in OMS CoC and Inventory Visibility

For our current client, inventory items are uniquely identified using UPCs(not to be confused with UPC in generic sense) and not SKUs, while the selling catalog identifies items using SKUs. These UPCs can change every year for the same item. For example, a warehouse in Balsam can have below 3 different supplies for SKU-A as Onhand.

Catalog Item Identifier

Inventory Item Identifier

Manufacturing Year

SKU-A

UPC-A1

UPC-A2

2020

UPC-A3

100

But the client needs visibility across all associated UPCs while they are looking for inventory of a particular SKU.

This was earlier handled using the GTIN functionality in OMS. We use to setup SKU-A and all associated UPCs as separate products and with a common GlobalItemID and OMS would take care of ATP visibility across items and also the scheduling of it.

With GTIN functionality now missing in IV we are not sure how to handle this situation. This is an absolute necessity for our client to go live.
