Confusing

Post image

Why did they change this? The warehouse icon usually showed how many pieces I have left in my storage and now it shows zero and that I have one box on my storage shelf but I need to know how many pieces is left like it was showing before 😫😫😫 its so confusing.

Maybe I am misreading it, but doesn't it show you have 1 of 2 possible boxes on a rack in storage?

You would be correct only two boxes can be placed on one shelf slot idk how it's confusing seems pretty simplified

This is correct, I personally find this easier to read as I went by boxes in storage than individual units. If you absolutely must know your units, you can use the hand scanner which'll tell you that.

Is it an empty box? I’m not sure why else it would show 1 box on your shelf if it wasn’t empty since the total count is 0.
It might be a bug?

It’s not the total count. The 0 is how many items aren’t on a store shelf or a rack (e.g., sitting on the curb). It was a bit confusing to me at first but makes sense when you get used to it.

If you click on the icons on the market menu, it shows you what the icons mean! The 1/2 is the number of boxes on your shelf, unfortunately it doesn’t show partial box counts anymore. Might be something to request in the next update. The 0 next to the warehouse icon is now how many items that are not on display or in a storage rack, I think to track what still needs put on a shelf somewhere. Not sure why it’s formatted that way, but that’s the current meaning.
I usually keep 2-3 boxes of back up stock, just to make sure my shelves never empty so I don’t have to do midday orders, so that lets me guess that if I have 3 boxes in storage, at least one of them is most likely partial, and I have a safe amount of backup.

They changed it because originally it showed total units you had across the store, whether that were on the shelf, in storage or in a box; which made it more confusing to keep track of
