How to import Mass Serial Number (receipt/shipping/job)?

One question that came up at everyone’s favorite customer led session titled “Using Epicor to Track Serialized Parts on a Job,” held on Wednesday 5/17/23 @ 1:20 PM in the Lagoon H, was

“How to do mass import/creation/move/ship/re of serial numbers?”

Here is the link to the Mass Serial Number import that EmbedTek has been using.

This is not a recommendation to go down this path today in 2023, as this is solution is outdated and the code will need to be uplifted into Kinetic sooner, rather than later

BUT…

If I were tasked with implementing this feature today. I would convert the subroutine into a function that runs by passing in a dataview.

Lucky for us, @aarong has a post that will help us get there quicker. Might even be cooler as his post does an import of a CSV file as well.

Kinetic - Looping through rows - SelectSerialNumbersEntry - Kinetic 202X - Epicor User Help Forum (epiusers.help)

Most of the work to get this into a function is already started in these two posts.

:thinking:
Uplifting this customization would be a great technical deep dive topic for next year!!!
