| | We would like to suggest some changes to the orders pages, both printing and
downloading.
1. The current order printouts are taking up a lot of paper (and toner etc).
If I download the order into Brickstock for example I can reduce the number of
pages by 40 to 50% but I cannot get same sort order. Brickstock is severely limited
on its sorting capabilities at the moment. We have asked Patrick Brans to look
at this as a matter of urgency, but he seems to be quite tied up with his normal
job at present.
2. If we download the order from Bricklink to a spreadsheet file we lose the
images and the quantity remaining - and both of those fields are used in the
picking process - we do not want to lose them. We have tried all the different
download formats and none of them provide or bring either of the fie4lds with
them.
So the suggestions are:
1. Improve the order printing process and allow more flexibility in where we
place the columns etc. This can be done as Allan Smith has produced a great order
template for Brickstock which is how we have been able to reduce the number of
pages per order - we still get everything we had with the Bricklink Order printout
(Except quantity remaining)and it all fits on one A4 Portrait page much better
that the existing printout from Bricklink.
2. Give us a way to incorporate the image and quantity remaining fields and data
in the download capabilities.
Either of these 'solutions' will solve the problem, save money and time
on the printing side and be a significant improvement to the current process.
We are aware that some stores do not print their orders at all any more - they
simply work from a tablet or computer screen - but in our case this isn't
really possible - we need that picking list as our storage and distribution centre
is not in the same location as the rest of the order processing.
Neither of the above suggestions would take a great deal of coding changes and
we see them as an excellent improvement to the site.

Because I'm only a buyer and not a seller (so far), I don't know anything
about BrickStock from a seller's perspective. So the following suggestion
may not offer a solution for you.
I recently posted a thread (http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=914453) to
an Excel template I have written. The spreadsheet is able to include part images
by leveraging the image cache that BrickStock and Bricficiency create. If you
can get BrickStock to create an XML file with the columns you desire (and this
is where my seller's perspective comment came from, as I don't know the
answer to that), you could import the XML data into Excel, incorporate the data
into an instance of a spreadsheet based on my template and manipulate the data
as you see fit.
FWIW, I'm also looking at making the XML import to be a more automated step,
leveraging XSLT to cherry pick the columns and reduce the manual steps for importing
an XML file. This would allow the template to more simply import arbitrary XML
files. But this will be a few weeks away, as I am presently working on my LEGO
diamond train crossing (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=96098&st=25#entry2223213).
