We build a top-level generic and then pack the power cord right before crating. Where we run into issues is when we have a distributor in Europe or Asia orders the machine based on their location but the end-user is in a different country.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Chuck, We ship up to 4 power cords with plenty of products without any issues. The only complaint is from product managers trying to squeeze every last bit of margin out of products. Those extra $6 or so get thrown out in most cases. In past lives we did what Doug suggested. Made the power cord a separate line on the customer order. That worked well for us. Only issue there was the power cord was not packed in the box with the product.

I understand the desire ensure the end user get the cord set they actually need, but I've also seen where there is backlash. Some recipients simply throw away the cord they don't need. The best solution I've seen, is to structure top-level BOMs with a generic product BOM as one of the "components" and then add country specific sub-assemblies, labels, translated user manuals, etc. I've even seen where top-level BOMs will have the 2-letter ISO 3166 country code baked into the part number. Keeping in mind, the ISO 639 language codes are not the same as country codes.
