Add by Barcode Creates Duplicates

[Andrew d’Entremont]

I entered a batch of dollar bin comics I purchased using the "Add by Barcode" feature this morning and adjusted the purchase price and and condition while entering them. When I went back and checked my inventory it had created duplicates. I can understand why this would happen if I already had the same issues in stock in a different condition, but I didn't own any of the issues I entered.

I've experienced this before when the issue I entered had "wanted" ticked off, but this time it was happening with comics where this wasn't the case. See example below:

Is there any reason why the system wouldn't simply make a change to the the Near Mint copy with 0 issues?

Thanks.

Because that's not how the database thinks about items.  Different grades are different items.

You may want to wait until after adding them to change their condition. I have the box "display after saving" checked so I can make changes to any fields then.

Yes, that would be the easiest work around. I think I'll stick to doing it that way.
