So, I tried consolidating my inventory only to now have both lot ids listed and
the inventory is now off. Is there any way of back tracking to the inventory
before the consolidation?

Not, unless you've downloaded your inventory as backup.

Of course I didn’t. So in order to override everything. I would need to pull
my Bricklink inventory on Brickstore, change the quantities and update. Alright.
Well, atleast this happened early on instead of later down the road.

I still don’t understand why it did that though. Why would it add the inventory
together and then keep that original inventory still active, basically duplicating
everything?

Did you use a 3rd party tool or did you do it through BrickLink?

I used BrickStore as it seemed the easiest to handle inventory. Jokes on me…

Did you use the box in the bottom of this page?

https://www.bricklink.com/invXML.asp

Top one is upload new things, bottom one is to update inventory items with lot
id.

PD: If you consolidated using BrickStore don't you have the original file
you downloaded?

I figured out what I did. Unfortunately I had to go through an recount the ones
I cataloged that day. Not a huge deal...just happened to be the 1x1 rounds so
it was kind of obnoxious. Either way...I learned. haha
