Hello,

When you part out a set in brickstore, is it possible to have it populate that
remarks field with parts you already have in inventory. I can import my inventory
to brickstore but i can't see if there is a compare or similar option.

Thank you

On the Edit menu, there's a 'Copy values from document' option.

So have your parted out set open in BrickStore, select 'Copy values from
document'. You can then select your inventory BSX file to copy from. On
the next screen you can select which fields to copy etc.

when the dialog box opens up to select the file, all options are greyed out.

You need to have your imported store opened in another tab of BrickStore

You need both documents open to begin with... sorry, didn't make that clear
in my first post.

My fault, I thought I tried that after the first answer. Thank you for the help!
I really appreciate it!

This is one of the many features when Parting Out Set using Brick Seller. In
addition, it will automatically default the Remarks values for parts that you
already have in your inventory but in different colors (to the Remarks value
in the most lots of that part).


If you are not familiar with Brick Seller, you can find a link to it on the BrickLink
Inventory Software links here: https://www.bricklink.com/links.asp?catID=9

Also, below is an overview of some of the main features of Brick Seller:

Brick Seller is a cloud based application. You access Brick Seller from your
web browser (https://www.brickseller.net). There is no need to download and install
anything. The advantages of hosting Brick Seller in the cloud is that you can
access your data from anywhere and when enhancements and bug fixes are ready
to be released, they will available to everyone immediately.

Brick Seller uses a SPA (Single Page Application) design to keep the data moving
back and forth between your browser and the server to a minimum and also eliminates
the whole page refresh problem you see with some browser based applications.

Brick Seller uses the BrickLink API, this allows Brick Seller to have a custom
user interface for working with your data. The data you see in Brick Seller
is current with what is in BrickLink. Changes that you make to your data will
be immediately updated on BrickLink. There is no need to export XML files and
import them using the BrickLink website.

When you register for Brick Seller, your inventory and recent order data will
be downloaded from BrickLink and put into your own Brick Seller database. This
is needed to make the Brick Seller search functions fast and to limit the number
of API calls. If you make all you inventory updates through Brick Seller, your
inventory data will always be in sync with BrickLink. If you happen to make
some inventory updates directly in BrickLink, you can quickly sync your inventory
data back up with Brick Seller.

Brick Seller will maintain an up to date database of all items in the
BrickLink catalog. Again, this is needed to make the Brick Seller search functions
fast and to limit the number of API calls.

When searching for items, your inventory data and the catalog data is searched
at the same time. This way, you can update the items you already have in your
inventory and add items to your inventory at the same time.

Brick Seller records all your inventory transactions in one or more Batches.
This allow you to view the history of your inventory changes. But the best
thing about Batches is that it let's you track the cost of the inventory
you add. For instance, let's say you purchased a large unsorted lot of used
parts. You can create a Batch providing a description and the cost of that unsorted
lot. As you add those parts to your inventory, those inventory transactions
(including your current price for those parts) will be captured in that Batch
so at any point you can see what your "yield" is from the unsorted lot. When
parting out sets, the cost of those sets is automatically captured in a Batch
along with all the inventory transactions.

Brick Seller assumes that you use the Remarks field in BrickLink to capture your
inventory locations. When parting out sets and picking orders, Brick Seller
will only show items in one inventory location at a time and in the order of
your inventory locations. This helps to keep your inventory data and picked
orders more accurate. This also helps to make the process of putting items away
in your inventory and picking orders more efficient.

There have been many enhancements to Brick Seller since it was first released
and the demonstration videos were created. Here are some links to the BrickLink
Forum posts announcing some of the major enhancements.
