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.

This might not help you, but I will sometimes use the Remarks field to tell myself
where I put something. That field also shows up on the order summary.

Play well,
Joel

Hi Joel,

Thanks for the reply and recommendation. I also already use the remarks field.
As you might have noticed from my image, under the item description it says
"bin1". This is a code I use to direct me to an area where these parts are.
I suppose I could type the date onto every item I upload in the remarks box,
but if that information is already stored in the system by default, why not just
open it up to sellers?

I vote yes. I've misplaced some things that I uploaded when I first began
and was figuring out storage. There's been a handful of times this info would
have been helpful.

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)

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.

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