Lock a collection once it's been paid for or your offer has been refused

 

Once a collection is purchased, you can easily add items to your inventory. There are two methods for doing this. One for standard items and one for back issues. Doing this from the collection lets you track where this product came from, and will let you see your profit or loss on a purchased collection.

 

Add standard items to your inventory

  1. Change the LIMIT at the top of your line items to show all of the items you've purchased.
  2. Check the items you want to add to an invoice for check-in (it's okay if you include back issues in these checks, they will be ignored).
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the line items and from the WITH CHECKED drop menu, select CREATE INVOICE AND ADD ITEMS. This will make an invoice for you, add the items, and bring you to the invoice for check-in, just as if you'd received them from a distributor.

Add back issues to your inventory

  1. Change the LIMIT at the top of your line items to show all of the items you've purchased.
  2. Check the back issues you want to add to a specific back issue location (it's okay if you include standard items in these checks, they will be ignored).
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the line items and from the WITH CHECKED drop menu, select TURN BACK ISSUES INTO INVENTORIED BACK ISSUES. An inventory location drop menu will appear. Select the appropriate inventory location to assign these back issues to.
  4. When you submit this form, all of the back issues will be created as inventoried items. You can manage them in your BACK ISSUES > BACK ISSUE INVENTORY menu. NOTE: if you do not assign a grade and price before submitting, the back issues will be in your LOOSE INVENTORY tab on the back issue inventory page.

Now, when you sell back issues through a transaction, if you sell one from your inventory, you'll know what it cost you and how much you made on it.
