  Hi there,

if i understand correctly this can be done with brickstock.

Open the set to part out in one file and your inventory in another. Choose the
set file, then "edit - Copy Remarks from Document" and choose your inventory
as source.
Now you can sort by remarks.

But in Brickstock there is a bug where if the source has the same part number
but different
color, it copies it anyway. So you need to check the file.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

I'll illustrate the situation.


Let's say the set has black plate 1x1 and blue plate 1x1 in it. In the part
out they'll be one after the other but in our inventory the black one is
stored in a large bin and not in the same part of racking as the blue one. So
we either have to put the blue part in its bin, go put the black part in its
bin then come back to the other part of the warehouse for the next part or to
put the parts that go in large bins aside and then do them once we get over there.

If there was a way to sort by remarks then we'd have the black part later
in our part out.

  I would really welcome a Bricklink Gift Card, e.g. for 5, 10, 20, 50 euro. Since
that would be a perfect gift for me as a AFOL Lego designer. So a gift card that
anyone can buy directly online from the main Bricklink page, without needing
a membership or login. Because the people gifting, are mostly not Lego fans themself.

Bricklink consists of thousands of stores.
Who should hold the funds for the card?

  Thanks for the suggestion. As you hinted at, I would end up with many lots of
zero quantity hanging around in my stockroom, which is undesirable. Also, I'd
like to maintain the ability to notify shoppers when I put new stock in my store.
If I retain, and simply change the quantity from zero to X when I add inventory,
there's no way to notify shoppers of the change.

  That's indeed very useful info. But your problem can be fixed: Use the Retain
option. That way empty lots stay in your inventory. This is also useful when
you turn out to have more of a part than was ordered/listed. Simply delete zero
quantity lots from your inventory once in a while (if you wish)

  Hi,

I would like to suggest that "Date Listed" information be made available to a
seller on each "Item in Order" listed on an Order Summary. This is particularly
helpful when an entire lot has been purchased. Allow me to explain:

On several occasions, I have found the "Date Listed" information to be quite
useful when looking for a part that I am unable to locate in my inventory. For
example, when I see that I listed Part X last Tuesday, I might remember that
I put Part X in Tray Y, in preparation for storage. However, "Date Listed" information
is only available when an item is still in stock or in a stockroom. Once the
lot is sold, the information is no longer available (to the best of my knowledge).
Which puts one in an unfavorable situation if they have misplaced a part and
are on the clock for shipping an order out!

Such a feature might look something like the attached image.

Thanks for your consideration.

K

You can easily delete all stockroom items with just a few clicks.

  I'm not sure if this would be helpful. On the inventory page you can use
"Search My Inventory", check off "Remarks" and "Any Part of Field". In the Keyword
field you can then enter your storage location.

https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp

If needed you can also enter a specific set number further down the page.

I see what you mean but the situation is as follows:

We take 50 sets of (SET NUMBER), part it out to our inventory and store it in
bins.

All the parts that we've already had in our inventory have locations in bins.
We want to put all the same parts in the same bins for easier picking.

If we sort by part name it mostly follows our storage system but not always so
we have to run around to different parts of the warehouse to put the parts in
their correct bins. If we could sort the part out by remark, we would have them
in the correct order and it would make everything much easier.

Hej,
Also I as stated at first, while in the shop it says 100/100 items available
but you don't know if there are duplicates (sometimes it would show 102/100
and even miss few items.

Thanks, that helped, but could have been more handy and user-friendly if it was

I think it would be confusing to be in a store and see parts that are not in
the store.

Besides, what would you do with that list while in the store? You need to go
to another store or to the Buy page to find said other store anyway.

Hej,
I would add them to another wanted list so I can easily find another store with
most of them. I think my idea kinda fits how bricklink works and adds another
option.
You buy page think is usefull but I can't even click the little boxed items
to buy them alone.

An Easter Egg in Bricklink!!

Easter eggs are generally not as useful as this


  I kept following links until I reached your 2014 survey. Hopefully, my "Yes"
vote will put it over the top.

It was in 2017, 2014 is when I joined
But still, 3 years and I still give this explanation too often (already 3 times
this week).


  thanks for making my day educational.

Glad it helped

  Hej,
Would it be possible to show a quick list of items that the shop doesn't
have in a given wanted list ?
Say I have 100 items in any wanted list. While in a shop it says there are 90
available but it's not easy to know which arn't. Plus some duplicate
items and in reality it's just 80/100. So I'd like some option to show
me what's missing.

Use the Buy page, find the store in the list (if it has many parts you want,
it will be on top), and use the Wanted Item tab as explained here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1202227
(In short: click near the store name but not on the store name.)

An Easter Egg in Bricklink!!
