You can do this in Brickstock, open two unique files and copy one into another.
you would have multiple sets in a single file to upload.

Perhaps you can change the way you work, because in my routine this is absolutely
no problem, and it's unlikely that Bricklink will change or upgrade anything.

Bumping. It would be nice to be able to download this info into an excel sheet.
It would make cross checking my records easier.
Thank You.

Hi there - voted no but need to explain. The part out log as it stands at present
isn't really much value. It needs to incorporate the transaction detail (which
it holds) before it would be worthwhile downloading it. The only thing it contains
at present is the set id and the date you parted it out.
But, again, unfortunately nothing is going on on the classic site whatsoever
- all development effort is being utilized on Bricklink XP (or whatever they
end up calling it).

| You can part out multiple of the same set at once by adjusting the quantity of
sets parting out.
However, I don't know of a way (on Bricklink) to part out multiple different
sets in one fell swoop.

There should be tools out on the internet (i.e. google maps) to maintain a map
with every store willing to share their location to add a pin to there location.
This can be run on the forum here and maintain else were with a link. Like goatleg
used to be.
Maybe you can be administrator to setup such a thing.

Going back to your suggestion about co-ordinates, maybe that's the easier
way to implement it instead of having to code in zip/postal codes and every other
addressing nomenclature of each country. If you can find your longitude and
latitude on google earth, it should be easy enough to find "near me" stores.

Cool idea, but difficult to implement. And there are privacy issues.
The Canadian zip code database runs over 760,000 records; most of them geolocate
to stationary moose, uninhabited parts of the Yukon, and what have you. I don't
recall exactly, but I think their process was to basically put a grid over the
entire land mass of the country, divide it up into little squares, and assign
a code to each square.
The US zip code database, covering a population several times that of Canada
runs only about 42,000 records and the codes cover arbitrary regions roughly
equivalent to towns, and some post offices that don't offer delivery have
their own code.
Typically these zip codes are associated with a longitude and latitude, and these
data files can be acquired from the post office and maybe other sources.
Then there is some math and code to figure out the "as-the-crow-flies" distance
between two zip codes' associated coordinates.
I don't know that the entire globe...or all the areas serviced by BL...have
these databases. Could be. Just never built one of these things other than US/Canada.
Anyway, bottom line is you need the longitude and latitude of every store...or
something reasonably close. The coding is a bit tricky. And it may have to be
broken into hemispheres because of the math for triangulation over a sphere.
If folks want to publish their longitudes and latitudes, then you can find the
distances with Google Earth or something similar. I'd guess most of the mom-and-pop-hobby-shop
operations aren't going to be enthusiastic about posting their residential
coordinates for the world to see, though.

I think to avoid errors. The more different sets in one go the more likely to
have errors.

You can use Brickstock and upload the file.
