BrickLink Discussion Forum

For years we have been printing invoices for clients and we 'Double Check'
/ tick them to ensure we have the parts correct. We view the invoice, and from
the print screen 'Scale' set to 60% - this seems to give us the best
size text for printing with the least paper being used. Sorry for the long description
below....

Before around lunch time today (Australian Time), This would work perfectly (both
print preview and on paper), with the words 'Orders Received / Order Number
XXXXXXX' in the top
left corner, then under that the BL Invoice Border Line and on the side the BL
invoice order line is approx 1cm from the sides of the paper; then the order
header then the parts list with the Parts Picture showing on the far left of
the page next to the left invoice border line; the dimensions / weight on the
far Right side of the page next to the invoice boarder line and the rest spaced
nicely in between. Perfect and good spacing for us to tick in and all easy to
read.

Now (again using the Scale 60%) the 'Orders Received / Order Number XXXXXXX'
is still in exactly the same place, and the top BL border is in the same place,
however the left and right hand BL invoice order lines have a 5cm gap / margin
and Items in order / text although the same size as previous is all squished
together. In short it no longer uses the entire width of the page; leaving two
long empty 5cm gaps down each side (except the 'Orders Received' bit
in the same place top left.

To see the difference (and this is really weird) on Firefox (the normal browser
we use) if you toggle the dot between the Print Scale 'Fit To Page Width'
and Scale: 60% for a split second it shows the original version I was taking
about on the screen with the borders on the edges but then quickly reverts back
the new version / way it looks. Kinda hard to describe, but just try it in Firefox
if you use that.

We have tried 3 browsers on two computers going to two different network printers
and can confirm there have been no windows updates or print driver updates since
the change, so I believe something has changed in the code.

I know not a lot of stores print invoices and I think a lot that do just print
at 100% but it will be a real bummer if this stays the way it is now as the original
way was perfect. I don't know if anyone else is having this same problem.

Sorry for the lengthy email, I will blank out details and upload pictures to
show the difference if need be.

Hiya
I can't see any carts I have at all and shows none of the carts I have.
The show all carts also comes up with the 'General Error' screen.
I also can't add any part to a cart from any store.

Im pretty sure BL ordering is completely broken ATM.

Hiya,

Have we had any updates on this / contact from Admin ?

This is seriously taking me 3 times as long to do updates now, especially re-pricing
etc. and its been going on for days now.

Could we please get an update or could it be a setting etc Been using it the
way it was for over 2 years and its honestly so frustrating now.

Any info would be appreciated!

Hi,

Just noticed today that when searching the shop's inventory multiple times,
the search dropdown keeps reverting to search within all items on bricklink instead
of in store inventory. This was not the case when inputting items yesterday so
I was wondering if this is a glitch/change/setting that anyone has a fix for?
The muscle memory of just searching repetedly is slowing down us down and causing
some frustration.

Thanks

thanks Randy, appreciate the clarification.

Is there any easy way to see / check who created the inventory ?

As i said, its nearly been a couple of weeks, so I would like to ask them how
they are going and the AU bricklink stores are flooded with them now (though
not many selling as sets).

You guys do a super job, thank you!

Hiya guys, set 40563 (Lego House home of the brick) has been stuck on 'Awaiting
approval' for over a week now (maybe 2 ?)
Is there a prob / missing items etc ?

Dont mean to hassle, but I have 6 of them now and don't know if im better
to sell them as a set or just part it out.

Appreciate all the effort, if someone could have a look at this is would be super.

We are waiting for the user who submitted the inventory to say that everything
is complete. As of December 2nd, changes were still being made. When the user
says that the inventory is ready for verifying, it will be verified and approved
within a day or two.

Cheers,
Randy

Re: Holdup with Inventory for 60337

Thanks heaps Randy, that is very helpful / best explanation I've gotten from
anywhere!
Is there any tool / easy way to look up who is working on an inventory ? (again
I can only seem to find the reserved ones). I've got time and more than willing
to offer help to whoever is doing it (ie piccs or anything else they need), just
don't know who to send a message too

Keep up the good work mate!

In Inventories, randyf writes:

The labels are actually incorrect. Ones in blue that state "Inventory In Progress"
with a link are actually just reserved to be inventoried. They have not actually
been started. Ones in red that state "Inventory Pending Approval" can be in any
state from having just been started to actually being verified. In the case of
the set you are inquiring about, it is being worked on, but is not yet complete.
When it is completed, it will be verified in a day or two.

Cheers,
Randy

In Inventories, fantechnic writes:

Im confused by the labling, ie when you look it up it shows:
Inventory Pending Approval (?) in RED / not a link, I thought this meant it is
just waiting to be verified / approved.
But when its in 'Blue' its a link you can click on that takes you to
a list of sets people are still working on / pre-approval (which i though was
limited to 5 days).
Am i reading this right ? Can't find anything in BL help about the distinction
/ exactly why some are in Red (not clickable) / why some are in Blue with a link
etc.

The inventory is being worked on by someone, and it will be completed soon. After
that, it will need to be verified before the inventory can be approved. Patience
is the name of the game.

Hiya guys, any reason for the holdup on the approval for this set ?

Is there anything else that needs to be submitted etc that I can help with ?
Have a bunch of these sets I need to part out.

Because it has new parts and minifigs that are needed to complete the inventory.
See attached for the current approval of parts/minifigs backlog.

I know the pending log may look dramatic... but of the 1085 parts currently pending,
it looks like less than 100 of them don't have a sticker.

There is indeed a backlog of stickered parts and odd gear, books, etc. They are
prioritizing new items. You can look at the What's New section to see all
the new items and sets being processed. I've been working on new inventories
nearly every day this year, and I can tell you the admins are doing an amazing
job.

Thanks,
Jen
