Epicor Kinetic – Need Solution for Multi-Select Lot Number Binding in Job Entry

Kinetic ERP

Hello Epiusers,

We have received a new requirement from our client regarding the Lot Number selection functionality in the Job Entry screen.

Current Functionality:

  • At present, we have a ComboBox control that displays all available Lots associated with the selected Part.
  • The user can select only one Lot Number from the dropdown, and this value is stored in a single EpiBinding field.

New Requirement:

  • The client now wants the ability to select multiple Lot Numbers for the same part.
  • All the selected Lot Numbers should be stored under one EpiBinding (either comma-separated, tilde-separated, or any other feasible delimiter).
  • If possible, we would like to explore alternatives to the ComboBox control that can support multi-selection in Epicor Kinetic Application Studio.

If anyone has implemented or come across a solution for multi-select Lot Number binding in Kinetic, kindly share your insights, approach, or any references. Your input would be greatly helpful in achieving this functionality.

Thanks & Regards,
Amit Ashok Kamble

Look into using a Selection List instead of a combo-box.

The selection-list needs to be populated with a dataview. So you’ll need a dataview that holds all your available lots for the selected part.

Using the selection-list, the user can select the lots they want, and the values are combined into a delimited list.

There are instructions on the set-up in application help.

Hello @dcamlin,

Thanks a ton for the suggestion. Honestly, Application Studio is so vast that sometimes we forget to check the simple, base functional widgets and end up taking the longer route :sweat_smile:. I had done the same — but finally managed to achieve it using the Show Search and Search Value Set widgets.

With this approach, the user can select multiple values from the BAQ search, and each value gets stored in a string format separated by a ~ delimiter. Super handy!

I’ve attached a few screenshots below of the event configuration for your reference.

In above Screenshot, In Search name field, my BAQ name is present to populate data in search grid.
