AAAAAAhhhhhh.... Ah ha! I was using hotkeys, not the "copy values from
document" in the menu.
That did the trick, thank you so much!

The trick with BrickStore, like many applications you discover: do NOT try it
on production, but use silly files or imaginary examples (I would part this out,
I would have those parts...), and try EVERY menu and field and function. Just
practice on dummy cases and files to figure out what will help you in production

I think I stopped trying the cut and paste a few versions ago when something
went horribly wrong. Despite highlighting the entire column when I pasted whatever
data I wanted copied it applied the first value only to all 900 lots. I'll
try it again when I get home.
|
I just tried, it works.
But you've to start form the 4x set list, select the 5x list as the source,
ignore everything BUT price.
Works in 1 click.
|
PS: you don't have to select anything anywhere.
It'll copy the values you ask, to all lots of the target document that exist
in the source document.

Just try on a throwable document with prices like $1 $2 $3 or such easy to check.

It's not the end of the world if it's too much of a PITA.

Copy all the items you need to subtract to a new file, divide by 5, multiply
by -1, then copy/paste (merge all) with your other document set to existing lot
and ignore all.

Quantities?
You can set them up, multiply or divide.
You COULD multiply them by 100 then divide them by 80 or such.
But it won't work because some divisions won't provide integer results...
And this is an hazardous way to proceed.
Instead:
* keep the file with the 5x sets and the price you set
* make another one with 4x the sets
* use Edit/Copy values from the 5x sets, to the 4x sets, and copy the prices
only
Upload the 4x, tada

it and then messaged asking to hold of on picking the order since they might
add more

Received an order the other day, and within 10 minutes the customer cancelled.
Fair enough, no problem - I cancelled the order.
Today had a message from the "Buyer" to say I had sent them a wrong part
- black instead of dark Bluish Grey.
Good try - but no cigar
Have to be alert in this game !!

I haven't had this, but I have had someone chase me that their parts haven't
arrived yet before they had paid me for them.

Odd that the buyer would say black instead of invisible.

It's still possible.
Some place like 20 orders and get really confused.
Got pictures of damaged parts - they didn't order and I've never sent.
Got message saying I didn't deliver 80 parts; one hour later "Sorry,
found it, I put the bag on the other desk"...
Many fun cases...

They may also simply have the wrong order number / the wrong seller.
