Problems with pricing of Full Sheets partial sets and FDCs #3

Open mmehr2 opened 6 months ago

mmehr2 commented 6 months ago

I have discovered that the Full Sheets category (31) has a few problems that I had overlooked.

  1. The partial set info is "baked" into the Info description, not added to the Inventory desc field as I had assumed with the price model.
  2. The FDC pricing was assumed to be 2-way (PF) but it's a copy of category 2/Sets, which is 4-way PUFS (I think) I am in the process of dealing with sub-issue 2 now. I will split it out into a separate Issue here.

Actually, sub-issue 2 is solved by changing BAITCFG.CSV to list category 31 as PUFS instead of PF. Existing inventory in LINLRG and LINOVS albums (existing sheet FDCs) need to be redone from price2 to price3 if cat31 is used. (Automate it?) Manually editing the first volume of SHEETFDCS worked, however.

Examining LINLRG02 led me to notice other problems with pricing in the first few pages (0 price reported on page, some reporting as Used others as FDC). Was it cat 24 vs 31 again? Check it out.

There were 3 items in LARGESIZE01/02 needing change: p.17, 85, 122 Also need to check the OVERSIZE01/02 for similar: p.73, 74, 80

This seems to point up a new issue with the information line on Cat 31 Dealer Info side of things (non-Album list). CAT31 (sheets) - all 4 prices listed, but 3 are set to 0 CAT24 (special sheets) - always showing Used as 2nd valid price CAT14 (joint) - shows Used as 2nd price, not FDC (these are PF categories) - oops!

I re-learned that Cat31 has individually-crafted prices for each sheet in a partial set, and should NOT participate in the duplicate-removal process used by INVENTORY duplicate partial sets. And no other category uses the Partial Set nomenclature directly in INFO, since Zvi didn't use it, and Cat31 was invented by me from Cat2 (Sets).

The price3 vs price2 issue remains and also affects the extended description lines added for the INFO display controllers.
