DMT Serials for Purchased Parts in PO Receipt Entry

I’ve seen similar posts on here but none that have enough detail for my need.

My company receives a set of purchased serialized parts from one of our suppliers. This list comes in with a set of premade serials they shipped us that we want to enter into our system upon receiving.

I am looking for a way to potentially create the header record, the line, and add all the serials to the line at the same time if possible through DMT. I haven’t had any luck with the PO Receipt Combined option so far.

I’m not against running multiple DMT’s for this because we only do it once a month, I am just looking for the easiest path forward and potentially a way to automate it. I also proposed the idea of just scanning the serials as barcodes as a backup plan. The supplier doesn’t send barcodes but we could set that up pretty easily.

Does anyone have any tips on this? Have you done this before in Kinetic? If so, how does your company do this?

Any input would be helpful and thank you in advance!

Instead of DMT have you looked at an updatable BAQ?
This would eliminate the need to run DMT.

That’s what I was thinking for next try, I was told my predecessor had this DMT working for this need but I found the files and it doesn’t seem to be the case. I’m not sure if it’s actually possible in 1 DMT file even with the combined option.

I’ll give an updateable BAQ a shot!

Have you considered changing serial tracking to outbound only?
Then you only need to record the serial number when you use it.
