| Howdy guys! I was wondering if it is possible to have our picking list separated
into New and Used But still be in order of item number? For example, all the
new would be at the top of the list but be in the correct item number order,
then the used (in correct order) would be after the new. It would be soooo helpful
since the New and Used are obviously in different places in our physical stores.
Yikes, dare I say this BUT, that is how Brickowl does it and it is just much,
much easier to pull.
thanks for lending an ear

I know what you mean OP. From where I sit, there is no option for "condition,
then number". For myself I would love "condition, remarks, number" .
I also notice that my spreadsheet doesn't sort 123 and 123a in the right
order so I have to take an extra step to make that work.

We do it using sort by remarks. Remarks are used for stock locations for each
part. For us used parts get alpha locations, new get numerical. Our picking list
(order) is sorted by used 1st in order of location then new in order of location.
We follow that with our picking cart and picking an order is just one lap of
the storage locations. You can store any part anywhere in the system (except
used have to go in used locations, new in new locations but that is good practice
to avoid crossover anyway).

| Hi Robert,
so what your saying is I should change the remarks on 40k+parts so that it easier
for BL...surely the option of item no. and condition is not a hard one to implement,
consider we are dealing with computers - we are in the 21st century I would have
thought - or is have I screwed up and I have set the TARDIS coordinates wrong
again...
Kind regards,
Dave

Well you can complain about the short comings of the way BL has been, coded,
and how easy it would be fix ...but it isn't exactly on the top of their
to-do list.
The simplest work around is to export your inventory to Bricks to know, sort
by condition, add a comment to 1 entry in the Remarks field, "USED" ...and copy
to all parts, sets, instructions, Gear etc that have condition USED.
Import back into BL and you'really done. Almost as fast to do for 400,000
lots as for one.

Hi Dave,
I'm not saying you should change anything. I just posted what we do, sorry
the suggestion did not help. We certainly don't do it that way because it
is easier for BL, we do it that way because it saves huge time for us and optimises
storage. When we set up our store we saw no need to store parts by item number
order, few big inventory managers do it that way as new part numbers get introduced
frequently, stock levels change, etc; they utilise storage locations by availability
and suitability (e.g. frequency of item on orders = use of prime picking locations,
size/volume requirement of inventory item, etc, etc). Remarks is simply "item
location" and any part can be placed in any location, the picking list comes
off in location order making picking simple. Other advantage is that you can
avoid similar parts being located next to each other which can significantly
avoid or virtually eliminate picking errors (picking the wrong part/colour).
No problem with you asking BL to do it your way though if that works better for
you but BL was never designed that way. I can understand that builders would
organise their inventory that way and this has cropped up many times here over
the years because many builders have converted their building inventory into
a store so BL offering an alternative sort on the order/picking list would certainly
be off use in those cases where the seller wants to organise their inventory
in that way.

| Hi Robert,
I will experiment with the option of exporting...because BL will not in a million
make any effort to address the issue, no matter how many votes are for it - BL
is too busy with crap like mosaics and mucking around with the website peeing
on users old and new - hoping they can get the right mix before it blows up in
their face.....
In terms of store arrangement, it is interesting that you say that common parts
are stacked in the same places, with larger stores, I guess being a very small
store and mixing old and new, the arrangement could be different.
Generally parts with similar moulds have different part numbers these days so
mostly not an issue. For example 3794/b (old) 15573 (new) - after a while you
learn to keep to watch out for them, and keeping them close, also reminds us
that when we select a part is it a, b, or c....
The other thing is that people's minds are all different, I prefer to think
logically rather than have to group items, that way when I need to look for something
I can simply follow the numbers....and for our store there is no common part
to the orders, so there is no way we could group the store into common and uncommon
parts, hence the need to keep it simple and logical.
SO at the end of the day, the option for condition and item number would be perfect,
and by the way, it is also the way we part out, so we can go from one of the
store to the other....for us it works.
Kind regards,
Dave
