| | Hi.
Would it be possible to add a function that would allow us (buyers) to check
our orders part by part? (using a hook or something like that)?
For more than 100 parts it's always very cumbersome, with printing lists
or something like that.
It would be great!

Did you notice the "temporary checkboxes" link at the bottom of the order details
page?
|
oh, no, not yet. Where do I find the "order details page"?
I just know the order placed page...

What do you mean by unique numbering?
Do you mean the 122091-1, 2, 3 codes?
I've just looked at 27 Series 8 leaflets, all have 122091-1 or 122091-2,
and I have not seen any other numbers after the dash. The exact same number is
on other series leaflets too. For Series 10 I have a 122091-3. I don't think
these numbers were unique to individual sets within a series.
|
Ditto. Entire Team GB series 122091-1, Series 4: 122091-2, series 5 122091-1
I do not see a unique code on any leaflet at all

| | I've read about brittle blue being a period in time where the plastic turned
'weird' i suppose for whatever reason? However in my experience as a
seller, I fully believe it is a result of exposure to sunlight and such. Nothing
more. Blue, white, yellow and grey's turn all sorts of weird shades over
time. It's inevitable... I don't understand why we always talk about
brittle blue but not brittle yellow? If the part is not the right shade i'd
just throw it in the trash.
|
I've had brittle blue from sealed sets where the parts have never ever seen
the light of day. There are buyers who think this makes parts used. Rather than
getting into arguments about TLG quality, I just store them separate and will
probably list them as oddities at some time.

I've never been able to that. Add the images as additional images to your
inventory (select the inventory item, click on "edit more" and then "upload image")
or ask that person to send you his/her e-mail address so you can send the images
direct.

Optionally included where?
|
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=22
| | It is a mandatory field out of Brickstock for an xml
update inventory. The only time lot numbers come into it are if you wish to update
existing inventory. Niek is right - the system is doing a lookup to pick up the
description so it can look up the product id quite easily.
|
It performs a lookup on the category only, nothing else.
| | Yes according to Bricklink
we sell lots but according to reality we sell items which make up lots.
|
In reality there has never been a single catalog item sold on BL Mind blowing
I know, but download your orders with full detail - there is no such thing in
the catalog as a "Red Technic, Brick 1 x 14 with Holes" as a separate catalog
item, yet that is the only description on your invoice.
| | The fact
that this platform has no real inventory system available to stores does not
mean we cannot look at elements of the catalogue when we are bringing in data.
A schema would clearly e4stablish this - Product ID cannot be duplicated and
therefore can be read easily when a lookup to that table is done.
|
What do you mean by Product ID - the lot ID or the catalog item ID? These are
two different things altogether and bear no relation to each other.
| |
If I modify the xml file we created when we export xml to Clipboard - the mass
upload will not work - we get an error message that the file format is invalid.
If I put the itemid back in it works.
|
Export with a comment and delete the item field again, it will work. You could
conceivably list your entire inventory without a single catalog item id.
| |
Whilst I am confident nothing will happen over this suggestion it would be welcome
for BL to comment.

That would be a valid argument, if BL weren't already showing the item description
on that exact same screen. If the program is able to show the description (which
is a lookup into the items table), it already knows the part number (or at least
grab it from the same table the description came from).
So yes, it is a request easily implemented.
Niek.
|
But the item number is optionally included, it is not even a required field.
And from what I can see, only the category field ties to the item number in the
catalog. As a matter of fact, you can list everything in your store without a
single catalog item number, so long as you have the category and comments fields,
mass uploads will work. We sell lots, not catalog items.

The reason that part number gets dropped is because in BL world, that part number
is not something used to differentiate inventory items. What you are adding are
lots, and not individual stock items or even different colours of an item. This
is the reason you cannot cost 2 different batches of the same inventory item
with different cost prices added at two different dates on BL, as you are merely
adding to existing lots, and not adding a new batch which must be reported on
separately. Showing the part number when importing would probably have to mean
that the lot would need an additional characteristic added to it to move it into
the realm of actual inventory of parts and not lots.
My information may be a tad wrong, but from experience, lots (that is your inventory
items) are differentiated only on the comments and the condition, nothing else.
It is, sadly, a throwback to auctioneer inventory where the lot is costed as
a unit and fees are earned on the unit. To get to a basis of project costing
or at the very least some average costing for your inventory items as actual
items and not lots, would possibly take a redesign of the entire inventory handling.

From sealed gear item parted out. The part count is actually supposed to be 73 pcs according to the bubblepack. Current inventory shows 72. I do not think there are extra's in this gear, so the regular count for this part should be 3 and not 2.

That will not do as my French writing is already limited to some swear words,

Bicorne = two horns
There are tricorne hats too (three horns).

Horny hats will be even more difficult to remember, it is not a concept I usually

You’ll note that on that page, keffiyeh is spelled keffiyah.
(While the wiktionary lists kaffiyah, kufiya, and kufiyah as alternative spellings,
but not keffiyah.)
Finding it through Prince of Persia minifigures might be quicker than searching
the wikipedia page then trying all the possible spellings

It's always the same cycle, I search "turban" because it's very similar
to a turban.
and all that pops up are these;

So then I remember that the piece I'm looking for is on a few of the Prince
of Persia minifigs so I go to catalog, minifigs, prince of persia, and then scroll
until I find one with the matching headgear, and then drill down into it's
inventory to find that it's called a "Keffiyeh"
to which my response is, "oh, well, I'll probably never remember that..."
I wish the description was "Headgear Headdress Cloth Wrap Keffiyeh (Turban)"
even if it's not technically a turban. It would help me find it faster in
the future.
At any rate, taking the time to type this all out should help me remember in
the future and I discovered that one only has to type "kef*" in the headgear
search and this pops up so I should be able to remember those 3 letters at least
going forward.
Took me awhile to remember "kepi" for this part too, but I remembered eventually.
