I already found a way to add parts from an order to My Collection (using XML).
To avoid ordering the same part again, it would be helpful to see how many of
that part is already in my collection when building a Wanted List.

The "Have" box in the Wanted List is just valid for that list, and entered
one part by one, as far as I could see, so that doesn't help. I'm not
a seller, so I just want to use My Collection to track what I already have and
use it to build new Wanted lists.

Thanks,

M

I asked this same thing previously but it is kind of a manual process that I
chose. You can use the apply order in the Wat list at the top but if you have
2 orders with the same part you can accidently apply some parts twice if you
are not careful.

I ended up using BrickStore which is a free program that connects to Bricklink.
I download my orders and then sort by part number. Once I have this I go to the
Search in the Want List menu and search for that part. Then, I can compare the
numbers and update the have quantities.

Great move!
