It doesn't work at all well at the moment. You have to know one exists to
find it. Or you can look through the inventory of every set, and right down the
bottom under counterparts you will find the assembly(ies) if it(they) exists.
|
Or browse https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catID=961
Must the item be in hand for it to be added and inventoried?

| | Does any experienced Bricklinker know anything about using BrickStock to

black 1 x 2 bricks that are in my store, but don't have a remark. How can
I consolidate an upload of three 1 x 2 black bricks into the lot without the

If you upload with Brickstock, a lot gets consolidated with a lot already in
your inventory only when the both the remarks and the comments are 100% the same.
So if you have 1 lot with no remark, 1 lot with 75 in the remark and you upload
a new lot with no remark, it will consolidate to the lot with no remark.
If you upload a new lot with a remark set to 74 it will make a new lot so you
will end up with no remark, 75 and 74 as lots.
I got away from the remarks feature awhile ago precisely because loads of lots
frustrates me a as a buyer, it is clumsy to use as a seller and does not always
have the desired result. Took me 4 months to clean up my inventory and get all
those remarks removed and reduce the number of lots.
Incidentally, you can also manually fix your lots by going here:
https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp
tick the "non-unique" box on the right under "Search my Inventory" and click
go. This will show you every lot which has a different comment/remark/stockroom/reserved
or a combination of all of those.

Once again a constant thread and everyone agrees with it except Bricklink for
some strange reason. Why should we have to let our inventory be tied up for two
weeks or longer when someone isn't going to pay for their order.
Bring the business side of the site into the 21st century, please - IC doesn't
work for all and for those that do not use it this is a real pain and totally
unnecessary.

And while we are at it, as a buyer, how come an NRS can tie up my buying money
for three weeks!? If a seller is not interested in selling, can I not please
just cancel the order myself after 3 days and go somewhere else? This is the
one part of Bricklink I have always found very unfair to buyers.
|
As a buyer you can file a paypal claim or a chargeback with your bank. Sellers
have no options except the npb system
|
?? If the seller has not invoiced, how do I have a claim? Because of exchange
controls I've had cancellations cost me 26% of the order value after three
weeks, with still no invoice from the seller concerned and no way to cancel and
move on except to wait it out.
Bear in mind also, BL is a contracts based systems, so even if a seller invoice
on day 20, he can still start an NPB after 7 days, irrespective of the time he
took to invoice or even if the buyer's circumstances have changed. Imagine
a wait of two weeks for an international order and exchange rate drop of 10%,
making the order 10% plus rate pips more expensive for the buyer. These are not
the most extreme examples.
Sellers also can cancel irrespective, buyers have to request a cancellation as
a favour from a seller who is not responding, go figure.

I've had brittle blue from sealed sets where the parts have never ever seen

I've never been able to that. Add the images as additional images to your

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.
