I have 2 buyers for about 40 items from 2 books. On the Approvals page I can see which items have sold, so can start to put them aside. But when I go to the Invoice section I see what appears to be randomly generated numbers (rather than something like "Book x, Page y, Item# z"). To sort by Buyer I then have to click to open the picture of each item. This seems to be a monumental time waster so I'm sure there is an easier solution that I just haven't read about or can't figure out.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Dave.

The sold items listed on the invoices are arranged in order. Have you created an invoice, or are you just looking at the items sold list? Even those are arranged in order and by seller. Check your search filters and click on CLEAR.

I agree with Michael - generate an invoice first. You can always add lots to it later if needed. You don't have to send the invoice when you make it either.

Even the items sold list is sorted by buyer and then by item. That's why I think he may have a sorting filter active that is jumbling things up.

re: Sorting Approvals Purchases by Buyer

I swear I looked at this a dozen times and couldn't figure it out. I print a hard copy of each Approvals page for easy reference (especially since I'm not always near a computer). And I have also printed out an Invoice page for reference. Lo and behold, when I went back tonight here's what I found on it:

"Approvals: Book 6785, Page 04, Item 04"



Compare that to my brilliant, yet obtuse, suggestion for an improvement: "I see what appears to be randomly generated numbers (rather than something like "Book x, Page y, Item# z")".

So either you quickly responded by changing the Invoice page or I am a complete and utter moron. My wife says she is going with the latter...

Thanks, and sorry for wasting your valuable actual stamp-related time.

I'm going to bed early I think.

Dave.
