| Hi!
I'm not sure if this is already reported, I could not find it with a quick
search.
I've noticed a small inconsistency in the packing dimensions "flow" of screens
when adding an item to your inventory. I know it's been worked on, but at
the moment in one place the packing dimensions are shown on screen in mm's
instead of cm's.
You can reproduce it like this:
- Add a part to your inventory with the inventory_Add page
- The packing dimensions can be added in CM's, e.g. 20x15x2.7 cm
- On the next verification page inventory_verify, the packing dimensions are
shown with the values you entered, but with MM's behind it: 20x15x2.7 mm.
This is not correct, it should either be 10x10x3 cm as the previous page, or
as 200x150x27 mm as in the following page
- after adding the item to the inventory, when checking the inventory on the
inventory_detail page, the packing dimensions are displayed as 200x150x27 mm's
So Packing dimensions listed in CM's are correctly saved as MM's, so
that works good. Only a small fix needed to the inventory_verify paga, change
one "m" to a "c" to go from "mm" to "cm" and everything checks out. Typical "low
hanging fruit", right?

Thanks for the report. We haven’t updated that part yet, but we plan to do so
very soon.

Thanks for the quick reply! I figured that much, but being part of a software
dev team taught me it's often better to share something than assume something
🙂
Keep up the good work!

Hi Russel,
An update to this message. I saw that somewhere in December all my own dimensions
have been updated from MM to CM value in my intentory. I use custom dimensions
for all sets that don't have a box and for example a "27" value is now listed
as "2.7". I assume some sort of script has run to change all MM values to CM
values?
However, all pages are still not updated, so the dimensions are now displayed
as "2.7 mm". I'm really confused what values should be used. I read complaints
from other sellers that orders are places as parcels because of this issue as
well
For now I've changed everything back to a MM value, as that is how it is
displayed on screen. If it should be centimeters, please let me know so I can
change it back. And pleace update the web-pages accordingly a.s.a.p because it's
just unclear at the moment.
Thanks!
