Has anybody created simple forms to recieve, create so/po, pack, ship multiple serial numbers for one item. Currently it seems that all data for serials needs to be entered in separate lines. This is for Dynamics AX 2009.

I have the same question (0)You will have to do picking and receiving serial numbers one serial number at a time. You don't necessarily need to have multiple sales/purchase order lines per serial number, but during the receipt or pick process you still have to tell the system what serial numbers you're using. It really can be a pain, but when you need to track things at a serial level, that's just the price you have to pay.
There are a few things you can do to help mitigate the process, depending on your situation. Our company sometimes has to deal with serialized goods, and at a fairly large level. But in some cases, you might get a product that comes in a box of 50, each of them serialized with a list of what serial numbers are in the box. For situations like these, we actually added an additional field to the serial number records to record a "system serial number", which is based on a continuous number sequence. If we're picking that entire box of 50, we can just say "give me system serial numbers 101-150" and the system knows what manufacturer's serial numbers go along with them.
Hope this helps,
