| Please add the stickered parts to the "part out" feature - or at least an option
to include them. I often part out used sets that are not complete, it's much
easier to do so from the part out page. But I have to manually add each of the
stickered parts, even though they are listed in the inventory alternates in the
catalog.
Thanks,
Ruth

I'll say yes, because I don't wanna say no to such a suggestion, allthough
I'll never use it, as it can be done quite easely with Brickstock (and I
always use Brickstock to part out these days anyway), so I do feel the need for
counterparts being present in PO's as I regulary pat out used sets myself.
But this should remain a selectable 'option' when starting a partout.

Yea, I have the same problem. I would like to have a check box option to include
the stickered parts or the non-stickered ones. It would also be nice to pick
the "alternitive" pieces easlier (real pain when parting out an older 6211)

I asked for this at least a year ago, possibly 2 years ago, and I was told that
it would have been too much hard work to do this....
I even put forward the same argument that you have...
Good luck!

We are currently working on a feature that will enable assemblies in the counterpart
section to be included in partout. The seller will be given a choice for each
assembly, and the indiviadual parts of the selected assemblies will be automatically
subtracted from partout.
This is not an easy feature to implement as can be imagined, as there are complications
arising from overlapping counterparts, mismatches between couterparts and the
regular section parts, variant parts, etc. But I'm pretty sure we will have
this functionality soon.
It's interesting you brought up the issue of stickereed counterparts, because
this was a question that came up during this development process. The problem
is that, unlike alternates, counterparts have no match ID, and they also have
no inventory to show which parts they replace. They do have an item number that
contains the the item number of the unstickered part, so maybe that could be
used. But then there are sticker over assembly situations.
It's not as straightforward as just including the parts as options to be
selected. Some may argue that we could leave it up to sellers to find and delete
the unstickered parts for any stickered parts they have selected, and I am sure
many would be capable of pulling this off without a mistake. But it would certainly
be a problem for some, and so for the same reason we do not allow unapproved
inventories to be parted out, we wouldn't allow people to manually deselect
parts related to stickered counterparts.
So, it may be an idea for the future, but we'll be glad enough if we can
handle the assemblies this time around.
Btw, voted YES.
