Buying Privileges - OK
Hi, still pretty new to the marketplace.

I've just uploaded a large studio design and got it to price and autoselect
stores. It's picked 31(!) stores to complete the order, but says it has 93%
of the parts - there are 20 or so missing.

Is there a quick way to see which parts are missing, without buying the ones
that it's found?

Hi and welcome

Use the Wanted Items tab on the left ((2) on first pic here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).
That will show the items in your list.

If the left checkbox is ticked, all the items are shown. If it’s NOT ticked,
then those that were found are hidden.
So, untick = the remaining items are NOT in the pre-carts.

Also, if you click on the line of a shop (not its name but just next to it),
you’ll
see changes on the left:
— numbers: “n/N” instead of just “N” means that the store has quantity n parts
(and you want N),
— colours: frames and numbers are in green/yellow/black depending on whether
the store has all/part/none of the quantity.

Don’t hesitate to play with the options, nothing is final until you make/pay
the orders

Sylvain, you never fail to be super helpful. Thank you. I need to remedy 7 orders
with missing bricks, but at least any future orders won't have this problem.

Once you have found parts that are missing, also check which parts are expensive
by looking at the carts. Then if you can see if you can redesign with the idea
of removing the unavailable or expensive parts. Especially if they are not seen
then you could change the colour, or if there is a cheaper variant, use that
instead, or if 1 1x8 brick is not structural then can you use two 1x4s and so
on.
