kevincol Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hello, I just started using StampManage 2018. I only collect sheets of US stamps. When the Scott# is the only stamp on a sheet, the current mechanism works fine. However, for stamps that have multiple Scott #'s on a sheet how am I supposed to enter all the Scott#'s into the database but only have them price out for one sheet? Currently, if there are multiple Scott #'s (i.e. 1827-1830) the software now reports that I have four sheets of stamps (one for each Scott#), when I only have one. If I were to just put in the first Scott#, I wouldn't show that I own the other stamps. I couldn't find anything on this forum or on the YouTube videos that addresses this situation. admin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi, the program does not currently have a way to inventory an item like that unless there is a separate SCOTT number for the sheet you own. We do have many sets of stamps listed such as SCOTT 2715-2718 in the USA section. You could create a new item in the stamp database that has the SCOTT field set to "1827-1830", then in the VARIETY field specify it is a sheet. You would need to provide your own value.

kevincol Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi, Why does the program then assign a full value for a sheet with just one of the Scott#'s, when it is impossible to have a sheet of that stamp as it only comes in a series? It seems like the program would not assign a sheet value for a stamp that can't be a sheet. To get me unblocked, it seems like the best method would be for me to pick the first Scott# in the series and say it is a sheet and then put an individual unused stamp for the rest of the series (i.e. #1695 shows a value for the entire sheet but that's impossible as the entire sheet would require 1695-1698). Then I get the updates on the value of the "real" sheet, show inventory for all the other stamps (so I don't try to buy them at a show or something). Thoughts?
