How does one maintain their Brick Owl inventory?

Kel

I was using both lego sites to sell, but have decided to only sell on Brick Owl. Now I can get a backup of my entire store as a XML but I am not able to open it with BrickStock. I can still use BrickStock to part out sets then add it to BO, but then how does one add there "my remarks or notes" on where they store each part. On the other site BL I use to enter in my inventory a set number and it brings up my inventory that is in that set, so from there I enter in any missing comments on location of each part.

I am having trouble figuring out how to do this on Brick Owl, any help on what methods you might use would be helpful. Thanks.

You aren't the first person to ask how to convert a BrickOwl inventory into a BSX file... I'll look into putting together a tiny program to do that.

@Jav:
Brickstock allows to enter remarks, so that while you Part Out trough Brickstock, when you import you can choose what you do with the remarks field (consolidate or not)

In case anyone is wondering, I'm waiting for instructions on the /batch API call so that I can build the required complete translation database to make this tiny program.

Without /batch, I guess I could still spread the required 90000 API queries over two weeks to avoid probably getting my IP banned by BrickOwl's anti-Denial-of-Service defenses...

Can you not import your inventory back into brickstock then export it back into brickowl?

@HowiesStuff Not directly. I recently made this little tool to convert a BrickOwl inventory to a BrickStock BSX file:

But it was released after Jav asked the question.
