Currently most of my organisational trouble is caused by the fact that when an
order shows "updated", you can't be sure which part of it has already been
sorted or invoiced. To make things worse, the "invoiced" date is reset every
time an order is updated.

For me, it would be good if I could tick a checkbox for batches that have been
invoiced. Or, Bricklink could generate a line or something underneath the last
batch that was there when the invoice was last sent.
Alternatively, an updated order could show "1 update", "2 updates", etc, to indicate
how many batches are new.

I'm getting tired of picking apart boxes to figure out where I left off

When I get an order that is updated, it already shows them as separate batches,
each headed by a line telling you the update date. Unless this has changed in
the last 24 hours, I am not sure where the problem would occur, or am I missing
something?

Yup that is true, but it does not show that batch 1 has already been sorted &
invoiced, whereas batch 2 has not. If you get a 5 batch order, you have to retrace
where you left off. Which isn't a huge problem, but since BL knows when I
invoiced and it knows when the update was made, it could easily save me that
trouble.

the orderdetailspage shows the invoiced date.
Any batch later is not invoiced.

Nope, that's what I was saying; That field is reset once a new batch has
come in. So you can't tell. Apart from that, Bricklink time & date still
eludes me after all these years, I have no clue how to set my time zone, or what
it is set to by default

Yes, you are missing something.

Say I get an order, batch 1 and 2, I pick them, send the invoice and the buyer
adds more batches.
Now I need a system to show what batches I allready procesed/picked.

My simple solution, I fill it in behind the order received, this way when I open
the order, it says batch X.
Meaning the last batch I picked was batch X.
I do the same for picked orders, I list a P for all parts picked or /P so I know
I still miss a (few) parts.

Larger orders are also packed per batch, so I can easilly see what happened and
which batch I need to do xxx to the order

Not sure an extra box is needed, but as long as I can choose not to use it, why
not.

If you look at your order at the beginning of each batch is a printer icon to
print a batch, next to the printer icon is a check box. If that portion of the
order has been invoiced a green check mark appears. If it has not been invoiced
it is blank.

Awesome Jim, I never noticed that before (although, maybe I discovered it sometime
and then forgot ). Just what I needed Thanks!
