Segment Items customer restriction

Is there a way to include or exclude items from being ordered by a customer.  For instance, one of our segments is for the customer channel.  A customer will have a channel code in Address Book category code.  A customer can only order items that match the channel segment of the item. 

All I can come up with is use the Customer Master Item Exclusion functionality.  However, we create part numbers regularly (daily) and the life span of an item is no more than a year.  Other than building a custom report to populate the F4013 I can't think of anything else.
