| Hi,
I have noticed that when I click on the drop down list for the order status,
in order to change the status to 'packed', the order is deemed to be 'invoiced'
wether I have actually invoiced or not...
Maybe this needs to be tweeked a little because I had done that twice now and
not invoiced the customer until a few days later!
(I like to pack the orders before invoicing so I can determine WHAT size package
I should use in order to keep the customer's postage cost down..)
I hope this made sense?

Yes, you mean when you mark an order packed it goes straight to the "orders not
yet shipped" list, regardless of whether or not it's invoiced.

YES! that's right!
I feel that's a little annoying, because if I were to do that and then go back
to my
'my bricklink', it will show that I only have say 2 orders to invoice, and if
I click on that the other one's not showing....

I might do things a little bit to complicated but I always pack the orders first
and than check for the correct postage , since with the german system up to 500g
it is one price but as soon as you go over that it will double. So in order to
give fair prices to my costumers I to the work ahead of time.
So far I did only have 2 ppl how did not pay and nobody how said that shipping
was to much.
I might have gotten lucky so far , but I hope that I will be doing okay with
the way I am doing it.
Of cause that might extend the waiting time for the invoice, but as soon as the
money is there, the order will be shipped.
Especially with my husband being deployed with the US Air Force right now I just
have to make sure I do it all they day the order gets in, otherwise it will just
get a little much at some days. But I like to keep busy, so come by my store,
buy and make me get up from the sofa and work.
Right now I am still offering a free mini figure series 2 (selected randomly)
with every order over 30.00 Dollar.

What exactly are you suggesting here? I do understand what you are saying, and
what the problem seems to be, but I don't see a solution / suggestion being offered?
"Packed" status comes after "Paid", so it is only logical that if you follow
the intended progression that an invoice would already have been sent.
A solution would be to have BrickLink track whether an invoice has been sent
by using a flag that is only changed when you actually send the invoice, regardless
of the current status of the order. This would allow you to use the status out
of order, but would not effect the invoiced status of others who do not (I would
be annoyed if orders that I marked packed suddenly showed up on my to be invoiced
list as I use the status as intended).

That's why I said 'maybe this needs to be tweeked a LITTLE'....
So, maybe you are right in this, as that the system needs to track whether the
invoice has been sent or not, and will allow you to change the status as to 'packed'
AFTER the invoice has been sent...

Hi,
this flags exists.
You can see it in the order edit page and in the order detail list.
It either shows "No" or shows the invoice date.
I really don't understand why this flag is not used to trigger the "not yet invoiced
list" but instead any order status greater than processing.

I think both are use actually.
The flag is used if the order is in pending / updated / ready
Once you mark an order paid, it is assumed that the invoice has been sent, so
apparently the flag is ignored.
So, the easy fix would be to just ALWAYS use the flag and completely ignore the
status of the order.

I usually just pre-pack order (untaped box, bags in it and weighed for invoice),
send invoice. I don't do anything till I get paid and finish pack and set status
to packed.
