My Cost Field Not Imported

drh

When importing the .csv file from Bricklink, the 'My Cost' field does not appear to be making the transition. All of my inventory here has this field blank.

Lawrence

I just checked my inventory file, and it looks like BrickLink don't make that piece of data available in the file. Could you confirm that is the case in your file?

drh

That field is available in the .csv download, but only if you have the appropriate box checked at the bottom of this page: http://www.bricklink.com/pref_seller.asp

Lawrence

Righto, if you import that again, it should now import your cost

The cost field import works but the "My weight" field (which also needs to be enabled on Bricklink) does not seem to import, at least for the few items I checked.

Lawrence

I haven't built the my weight functionality yet, but I'll import it when I do

Thank you for bringing the my cost field over. Would it be possible to have a my cost total displayed with each order? This is what I really use it for--to determine my profit on an order.
I know that I'm making money, but sometimes that can vary a lot from order to order.
Thanks,
Katie

I like Katie's idea of showing on (seller's copies of) the Order Details page their total cost. Perhaps break it down by lot as well. Thor

Lawrence

Noted.

Lawrence

The my cost total is now shown as a total on the order screen, for sellers only. If any of the lots do not have a my cost, a ~ is shown next to the total.

I think that the total cost is not taking quantity into account. The first two orders I looked at the my cost was very low. I went into a 1 lot 2 item order, and verified the my cost on that one item, and it is showing the my cost for the order as the cost of 1 not 2 of those items.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
Katie

Lawrence

Sorry, try again

Looks much better. Thank you!!

Is there a way to hide the my cost field when I print out the order details page. As I want to include a copy with each order, but do do want the buyers to see my cost.

Lawrence

Done

Brick Barn

Wow! That was fast. Thank You.
