Hi friends,

I just placed an order to cover for part of the bricks I need for my next MOC
build. I'd like now (if possible) to remove the ordered bricks from my want
list, so I know what's still missing.

When I check the order tho, I see the option of "ADD ordered items to my
want list", which seems to add, not to remove.

Is there any way to remove from what I want what I ordered (please don't
say "go manually and remove one item at a time", I just ordered 14K bricks...
it's madness doing it manually)

Thanks in advance!

If you look at your order, you find operations you can do on the order.  If you
want to do something to your WL, you need to look at your WL

There’s an “Apply Order” button on the top right when you are looking at your
Wanted List.
It will show you the orders that can be applied and will modify the Have field
accordingly.

BEWARE: That feature does remember anything:
— you can apply the same order several times on the same WL,
— you can apply the same order to several WLs and it will each time use every
part it can (not rembering it already used some parts for another WL).

It’s great if you have only one WL.

Also, making a Wanted List from your order is not a bad idea, especially when
you haven’t received your order yet.  It helps check what should be in the order
and, if something is missing or wrong, you already have the items in a WL.
If you just apply the order, you may not remember what was in the order, and
you’ll need to re-modify the WL to adjust for the errors.

There is an Apply Order button at the top of the wanted list page (see
image below). It won't remove the items you ordered from your wanted list,
but it will add the amount you ordered to the Have quantity (which the
easy buy/auto-select algorithm takes into account).

It helps if you combine all of your wanted lists into one before using it, though,
since it doesn't know which orders go with which list. And only apply it
once, since it doesn't remember which orders have already been applied.

The problem with that is that you need BrickStore or Rebrickable (or a something
else but not BL) to do that.
So you can simply ‘apply’ your order and do all your WL management with it
