Suggestion: Show sign (any) in orders when weight or size is missing in catalog

robernat · December 2014

I regulary have customers who end up with to high shipping costs due to unkown sizes or weights in catalog, I don't mind submitting them if I know what exactly should get attention (catalog wise).
It would be nice to see on the order overview what exactly has a missing weight and/or size(s). That way sellers know what is missing and they might be motivated to submit the data. A small sign saying what part needs data would be great, shouldn't be much of a problem, as the site already keeps track what a seller has in inventory and what has missing data, so basicly it's just a match between the missing data from the store and the items in an order.
People (sellers) don't always have the time to check their whole inventory, pick boxes and submit data. But if notified, while picking or before wrapping, a notification on the orderoverview might be good, the part(s) is(are) picked out anyway, so it only takes a few seconds to submit the date before final wrapping.

Hopefully supported by others :-)

Great idea, done. I also fixed a bug which was causing the amount of items with missing weights to be too high.

An excellent addition, it has been suggested once or twice, months ago. While orders are being picked/packed is really the most convenient time to start measuring and weighting parts.

Thanks Lawrence!

Awesomely fast and perfect, saves a lot of time compared to going over each odd item to check what is causing overcalculation of orders. Hope other sellers will all have a look and submit the data when there is a need, it's for the benefit of all (and yourself if you have higher quantities of certain items).
Thanks for the quick action Lawrence.
