Mouser project manager gripe

[powerplayj]

Anyone else have trouble with this?  I save a project list only to come back and have every valued multiplied by 3, 4 5 times, etc.  I am currently working on the A/DA flanger project list which is three pages long and a royal pain to correct.  Is there any precautions I can take short of fixing the list and ordering in the same instance while everything is fresh on the screen

that has happened to me only if i leave the site and then go back later.  but i do know what you're talking about.  are you browsing with safari?  maybe that's it

It may have to do with the difference between your current cart contents and your saved project. If you put four items in your cart, then 'save to existing project', the four items are added to the project. If, now, you were to add three different items to your cart and 'save to project' again, the three new items will be placed in the project, _as well as_ duplicate quantities of the original four items.

When using the 'save to existing project' feature from the shopping cart screen, add all of the items you want to the cart. Then 'save to project' once. Delete all existing items from your cart. Then, if you continue shopping, or come back, your cart will be empty and only new items will be added to the project.

It would be handy if Mouser had a 'add cart to project and clear cart' button...

That might be the issue.  I have been saving and editing over the last few nights.  Night 1 my total was $62...when I opened the project the next day the items multiplied and my total went to $721!!!

I think dmx1 might be right about that. I remeber that happening to me.
Took a while to figure out how it works. Afterward I didn't have a problem.




My gripe about the Mouser Project manager is that it is only capable of transmitting a 99 line item order.

I did a project with 120 line items. The web page LETS or go over 99 lines but when you order it, only the first 99 items are transmitted to the order desk. It took me three phone calls to Mouser asking where the rest of my order was to figure this out.

They sent the missing items and charged me shipping again, another $12.00. I complained and now I have a credit.

This took a few weeks and a lot of frustration to work out.

So be forwarned. only 99 line items per order when using the web shopping cart.
