I might have missed this somewhere in the settings, but is there a way to consolodate
all the batches together in an order form?

It is a pain when a buyer has 5+ batches and I have to go back to the same part
of my inventory multiple times to pull parts. If it was all consolodated it
would be much easier to pull the order.

If there is not a way to do this, then it is a suggestion I would like to bring
up.

When you are pulling an order, look at the very bottom of the page, you will
see an option to consolidate batches.

Yes, the option already exists.
Open an order and scroll down to the very bottom of the screen.

Click "Consolidate Batches"

Already there, you can set it to always do that, or only do it per order.

Thanks Everyone! No wonder I couldn't find it in the settings. That's
going to make things a lot easier. I seem to be learning a lot today.

I looked at other responses.

They are correct in stating that there is an option to do this for the order
itself.

But in this case (which I also notice and would like implemented), there is nothing
to do this on the invoice/order form itself.

don't really get it i think.

You can simply default this for every order.

But there is still no option to combine batches on the printed invoice:

I understand why you would want to do this when pulling orders, but I am curious
as to why you would want to do this on the invoice. As a buyer I want to see
the invoice by batch to easily confirm that any additions did in fact get included.
What is the down side to the seller on the invoice? I am not saying there isn't
one - just would like to understand.

I realize everyone pulls and counts in their own way, but for us, we use the
printed invoice for our employees to both pull, and then count the invoice.
If they are left in batches when printed, they have to go back and forth pulling
because there could be duplicate parts, and the parts won't be in the right
order (they'd be in order within each batch). Plus, then our counter has
to count duplicate parts more than once, rather than just counting one full amount
of the total of that part that has been ordered.

If a buyer wanted to request an invoice be sent that was by batch, I would not
have any problem printing it that way to be sent to the buyer, but it would not
be effective for us to process the order in that manner.

Just my thoughts...

Thanks,
Melissa

I asked one seller to do that and he was awesome about it.
I said "Batch one, mark it Cafe Corner", Batch 2, Market Street, Batch 3, VW
Beetle, etc..
6 batches, some duplication..

I print the invoice when I pack orders.
Uses way less paper and ink.
