Hi Derrick - Appreciate your replies trying to get this all figured out.
In the dashboard I see Recent Beans shows 5 (assuming it is limited to 5) but I click See More, and it takes me to the My Beans page where it says I don’t have any in my inventory. When you undeleted the beans, the Recent Beans repopulated so I know it’s there but it’s just not showing up in My Beans. Any beans I add now do not show up despite a message stated they are added successfully.
When I came to Roast World, I started adding beans by the pound, then flipped over to kilos and added a few beans by kilo. I was really just trying to learn the inventory controls. Then I got frustrated, deleted all my beans, and wanted to just start over. Can this be why I can’t see any beans in My Beans now?
Can you just wipe/reset my roast world profile and let me start over? It behaves this way in Edge and Chrome.
As far as user experience goes, in my limited experience in Roast World, the only weight denomination is kilos and pounds. If you have 1 lb. 6 oz of beans, you can’t just use 1.06, you have to convert this with a calculator and enter 1.375 lb. for it to be accurate. If you are going to use partial pounds, there really needs to be a way to enter either all ounces (in this case it would be 22 oz) or enter lbs. + oz (in this case it would be 1 lb. 6 oz). With my 6 beans I found it extra work to do this conversion. Kilos are a lot easier obviously you can just move the decimal, but maybe giving the option to use grams and kilos would take the mindpower out of it when you’ve been roasting for a couple hours.
Another thing I noticed is that making a manual adjustment, you have to have weight and price, and neither can be zero for it to take. Because of this I had to start over with the beans because I didn’t have the price (per lb.) handy and was able to enter the weight when I added the bean. Once I got it all in, I went back to add the price and couldn’t because the cost couldn’t be zero or blank. I wasn’t making any weight changes though. Another thing is that the price only reflects total price, but to get a true cost of goods I would need to be able to enter total price per lb. I never use total price, because my product varies in size.
I know there are work arounds I could do to make this all work but this about the user experience. With Roast World inventory, I would love to use it as a real inventory tracker so I can have all my coffee stuff in my roasting laptop. My brain hurts after work and something more intuitive would be useful. I can write some ADO or Jira style user stories if you want.
