| I use the option
View a printer-friendly version of this page [with temporary checkboxes]
at the bottom of inventory pages often, but would be able to use it better if
there was some sort of input field on parts with a quantity over 1 to keep track
without denoting the part as inventoried (check-boxed).
Currently Im using scrap paper; if a part is multiple but incomplete, I draw
the piece, maybe make a color note, and do hash marks until I have the entire
quantity and THEN can do the checkbox on my computer.
I want to get rid of the paper part since I'm already so close to a great
system with the provided databases and the "[with temporary checkboxes]"
page, but to be able to this all digital would make the page much more functional.
I wouldn't mind suggestions for inventory software or just general tips for
cataloguing sets (mostly dug from lots) either.
thanks,
Pete

Have you tried using BrickStore?
1. Open a New File
2. Import the Set
3. Right Click on the Set and 'Part out Item...'
4. Use the Marker, Comment, & Remarks fields to track QtyOnHand, QtyNeeded, SpareParts
(I like having the text instead of relying on the Blue + in the Status)
Note: you can sort multiple columns by holding down the Shift key and selecting
the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. column.
Below is a picture of how it looks for Set 75256 that I was auditing this morning.
I've thought about digging into the code for BrickStore to see if I can add
Audit Fields.
- QtyOnHand and QtyNeeded where QtyNeeded is Quantity - QtyOnHand.

Forgot to indicate, there is a lot you can do with the BSX file, as examples:
- Can be opened in Excel, you don't get the pictures and have extra fields.
- Strip out all the 'completed' parts and move the QtyNeeded value to
Quantity and you have a file that can be uploaded into a wanted list.
