Please add line/lot numbering to order and picking view

This would be very helpful esp on large lot orders, as I pick parts into sorting trays - each lot goes in one compartment, there are 15 compartments per tray.

As I scroll thru the order it would be handy to know the lot number so that at the end of picking say 30 lots (2 trays) or 75 lots (5 trays) - if I was 1 short I would know roughly where i had missed a part/lot.

With 100+ lot orders it is very easy to miss one or two (especially if the order is mostly 1 or 2 parts per lot), at the moment when I come up short I have to go thru from the top to find it.

Thanks!

  • Have you tried using the check boxes?

    I've taken to printing out each order, even the larger ones, and checking off each lot as I pull it. Then I include the picking list when I ship it for the customer's reference.

  • Numbers would be helpful for me as well. I pull orders in much the same way, so if at the end of 30 cups I am pulling item number 31 then I know already that I have missed an item, instead of finding out at lot number 100.
    I like the checkboxes in theory, and have used them for other purposes, but stopping to check each box is one thing that can really start to slow down my pulling speed.

  • @Loremonger no that won't work well - I don't print out picking list, just invoice - too much on ink & paper for me - I print at 2 page per page so everything is too small in print anyway - even with my readers on!

    I use picking list view on screen "nice and big" - problem there with check boxes is the active target seems to be as small or smaller than the "tick" box. So I keep missing..

    Line numbering would make it SO much easier and quicker… and I have an order awaiting my picking that I am dreading - those numbers would be a HUGE plus

    @Admin …please Lawrence??

    Would you please consider this? - it would be really helpful right now, on a 139 lot order - It would be nice to catch any omissions BEFORE I get to lot 139 and find I have only pulled 138 lots!

    Thanks!

    had another order this am that really would have saved me a lot of time, and another for tomorrow…

    Thing is it's mostly the low value 50+ lot orders that would benefit most - especially as most of those come thru Re-Brickable - whilst I am happy filling these orders - it be helpful to have any tools available to help reduce time spent on zero profit orders - after PP, BO & RB comission is deducted, a large ammount of packing materials etc…

    also this is where errors are costly, mistakes more likely resulting in two shipping costs to absorb as well…

    @Admin a response of yes/no or maybe would be appreciated - thanks Graham
  • I'll go with maybe
