    Maybe try a better way to organize / manage your parts orders.

    Use Excel (or other spreadsheet) to build up an order...
    - Use the following fields/columns
    --- Machine
    --- Mfr (manufacturer of part)
    --- Part
    --- Part No (mfr part #)
    --- Qty
    ------ Use 2 columns per vendor that you use - column heading is the Vendor Name
    -------- put the price in the first column
    -------- use the second column for *in stock*

    Something like this should get you started.
    I use 3 spreadsheets for different types of parts. I have specialized ones (different fields) for rubber and bulbs.

    Even better is to take the above and create a small database using something like MS Access, but that's more complicated.
