Hello guys, I am new to BO and git a question about sorting incoming orders.
Especially the list I am asking for, if there is a possibility to order the ordered items that new parts and used parts will be in a row or batched together?
in that chaos system its totally stupid for me because i have my drawers separated in used and new, so its clever to pack first one of the conditions, after that the other one.
Happy selling
Pierre

If you give your drawers numbers, and put these numbers per part in the my remarks section, then you can filter your order list on my remarks.
If your drawers 1 to 50 are new parts, and 51 to 100 used.............
I agree its a hassle to start with a system like that, but it will save you loads of time in the future and picking an order lightning fast.
I agree you dont want to make the misstake by sending used for new etc.
Good luck!
It is done by first click on the arrows next to "condition", and then while holding the SHIFT key, press on the arrow next to the item sorting option. This will split the items into new vs used and within those categories according to the order chosen from the pull-down menu.
Unfortunately there's no way to do this on a tablet computer. I actually borrowed an attachable keyboard in order to do this once, but at some point I recently messed it up again so I have to borrow it again
I hope something will be done so this will also be possible on tablet computers. Even on desktop computers it's quite tough to figure it out, so it can definitely use some improvement. I would love it if there simply be a list where you can drag the parameters around so you can create your own hierarchical list that's easy to understand and to modify.
(I believe that we in our system can be just as lightning fast as the remark system, or even faster if you count ALL of the time (adding AND picking) but many will disagree and it'll be an eternal discussion I think.. to each their own )
Sorry, but I want to have a fixed pale for each part, not searching it once in drawer 172 and once in drawer 512. That was the way i started ebay and Bricklink years ago, but the larger the order number became, the more problems i had!
Here, we do have to look up numbers for every type of part, but it's pretty fast. I wrote a little piece of software (a lot smoother and faster than BrickStock) just to locate parts and optionally enter/change the remarks. I think finding the code might take an average of 3 seconds per part?
Sounds like a good system also, i refrain from discussions on that
We work in couples, a *runner* and a *counter*
the counter screams a drawer number and the runner goes to collect it and bring it to the counter
Pretty fast, hahahaha.
Cheers
by the way, thread problem solved, there are small marks on the top of each order, there i could sort by condition as well. I am happy! Thanks guys! ;-)
(Admin can we please have this on tablet computers too :O )
It does not work on an iPad? I have to test this!
If you hold shift down you'll see that both arrows turn up blue, and that's what it remembers.
So, for now we have to press both the arrows each time we open an order on a tablet computer. Pretty annoying, I hope it'll be improved soon!
