How do I manage a Product when we receive multiple Supplier Product Codes from a Single Supplier?

Question

We purchase many parts from a large distributor. Usually their products are a one-to-one match with ours, but as we are trying to implement contingency planning I am having an issue adding the multiple supplier product codes from the same supplier onto our Product. It seems like Sage does not allow you to use the same supplier more than once on a Product. For example I am attempting to add the yellow row in the picture below, but I get an error " Code already exists on line 1 ". This is in All>Common Data>Products>Product -- "Suppliers" tab. 
 How do other people manage this when working with a distributor who may send different part numbers for an identical product?

I have never come across such situation. It seems odd that a supplier use various product code for the exact same product but you are correct this is a limit: Sage X3 manages only a single supplier reference for each product-supplier combination.

I know this is not the answer you are expected, but why not simply just use only one if the part number refer to the exact same product?
