This may be a question, or a suggestion, not sure. I really could use the help
with it, either knowledge of system, or hopefully something that could be implemented.
So, as an example, I have a buyer right now, who's order is at over 10,000 pieces,
over 2,000 lots and more than 100+ batches. The issue I am having is if the buyer
buys the same type of item, each time it gets listed (example: DBG 1x1 slopes),
and has over 20 lots of the exact item and color, is there not a way to combine
them when I print it out, for ease in pulling the order?
I know you can group by batch, by color, etc. But it seems no matter what, I
will still have to manually add up every lot of like items anyway, meaning no
way to combine for just one qty total. If anyone knows a way around this, please
let me know. Otherwise, I am making a suggestion: for the order settings page,
have a checkbox that can be selected, so the seller may have the full qty listed
in one spot (or lot) of like items. I am not asking for it to change the total
lots count on the order, but just somewhere have it shown the total qty of an
item bought. Kind of how it is now where it shows the qty they order, and next
to it can show qty you have left in stock. Maybe just have one more that shows
"total qty" next to that item.
Thanks, Melissa

I sort of like it the way it is as I pull the orders almost as soon as they are
made so I do not get behind. I have a 100+ lot order and have several buyers
with open orders that add to them as I list. I pull the lot, and put them in
baggies with the lot number on them so I do not have to check what is in them
a second time. Also if someone buys 5 lots while I am listing I combine them
when I pull them into the baggie.

I know! You could import the order into Brickstore and do a merge there!

Kzinti-
I am not familiar with brickstore at all. Any pointers on how to do that, and
how to merge it once there? Thanks for the advice.
To Legoman77-
good idea, but not possible in my situation. I usually get 5 to 20 orders daily,
and with 75% of them being over 50 to 100 lots, it would be difficult to complete
them in that fashion, but would be nice. We did that in the beginning, until
we started parting out to inventory larger qtys of sets, so a lot of the parts
are from pulled sets, even when we try to sort them all at first, and then pull.
But I do wish I could do that. Hopefully I can learn more about the other suggestion.
Thanks, Melissa

Hi Melissa,
at the bottom of the order detail list there is a link to "Consolidate Batches".
When clicked, all lots of the same type are grouped together.

I know they are grouped together, but I would like them all added into one qty
or one lot, instead of having to add 20+ lots of same item, to get total qty
to pull. Thank you though for the suggestion.
