This is especially useful because some sellers are registered under their business name — for example, *Odell John Deere of Raleigh*. This same filtering option is also available when checking in sellers through the Sellers tab when an auction is set up.   Seller Settlement When working within the Seller Settlements of a specific auction, you can now filter and search seller settlements by **Company Name**. Please see the video below for a demonstration.      Within a seller settlement, admins have the option to print, download as a PDF, or send the settlement to the seller via email. These buttons function the same way as the Print, PDF, and Email options found on a bidder invoice. ### **Print** Selecting the **Print** button opens the settlement in a new browser tab. From there, you can choose the appropriate printer in the **Destination** field and proceed with printing. ![Screenshot 2025-11-20 at 10.53.34 AM](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-20%20at%2010.53.34%20AM.png?width=2815&height=1543&name=Screenshot%202025-11-20%20at%2010.53.34%20AM.png)   ![Screenshot 2025-11-20 at 10.53.43 AM](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-20%20at%2010.53.43%20AM.png?width=2837&height=1450&name=Screenshot%202025-11-20%20at%2010.53.43%20AM.png) ### **PDF** Clicking the **PDF** button opens the seller settlement in a new tab as a PDF. From this tab, you can download or print the document as needed. ![Screenshot 2025-11-20 at 10.54.00 AM](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-20%20at%2010.54.00%20AM.png?width=2757&height=1518&name=Screenshot%202025-11-20%20at%2010.54.00%20AM.png) ### **Send via Email** Selecting **Send via Email** will immediately email the seller settlement to the seller. No additional steps are required.  \***This feature is still in its final stages of development and testing. More details will be available soon!** Alt Sort UI Update Another way to edit the Alt Sort numbers for a catalog is by updating them directly within the catalog’s inline text. Simply click in the Alt Sort column for the lot you want to update and enter the desired number. There is no need to click any additional buttons—your change will save automatically. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 1.21.24 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.21.24%20PM%20(2).png?width=1867&height=750&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.21.24%20PM%20(2).png) However, updating the inline Alt Sort number does **not** automatically reorder the catalog. To sort the catalog by the Alt Sort number, navigate to the **Run Order** field and change it from **Lot #** to **Alt Sort #** (or vice versa), then click the green **Apply** button. Several yellow notes will appear, informing you of what elements may or may not be affected when switching the run order. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 1.21.40 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.21.40%20PM%20(2).png?width=1851&height=689&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.21.40%20PM%20(2).png) If you switch the run order from Lot # to Alt Sort #, a blue icon will appear next to “Alt Sort” in the upper-left corner. Clicking this icon allows you to resequence lots as needed. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 1.22.10 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.22.10%20PM%20(2).png?width=1831&height=596&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.22.10%20PM%20(2).png) Please note: If you try to change the run order after an auction has already closed or completed, the toggle will be locked. When you hover over it, you’ll see a message such as **“Change of run order is no longer possible: timed\_staggering\_closing.”** (The message will vary depending on the auction type that has completed.) ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 1.19.22 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.19.22%20PM%20(2).png?width=1779&height=382&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.19.22%20PM%20(2).png)  **Download Report UI Update **   When you need to download reports from the **Accounting** or **Catalog** tabs within an auction, simply click the green paper icon with the downward arrow on the right-hand side of the screen. This will download the reports for you. The reporting fields remain unchanged.   ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 1.38.30 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.38.30%20PM%20(2).png?width=1853&height=418&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.38.30%20PM%20(2).png)   ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 1.41.02 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.41.02%20PM%20(2).png?width=1857&height=336&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.41.02%20PM%20(2).png)   **Payment Method Updates**   **Card**:   When recording that a bidder has paid an outstanding invoice using a credit card **not on file**, you can now click **“Card”** and fill out several optional fields if needed. You can note a **surcharge fee**, but please be aware that this is a **text field only**. Entering a surcharge here **does not** change the total amount due or charged—it is simply a way to record that a surcharge was applied for the outside card transaction. Additionally, you can fill out the cardholder’s information, including **name, card type** (debit/credit), **card brand**, and the **last four digits** of the card. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 1.44.38 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.44.38%20PM%20(2).png?width=1391&height=717&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%201.44.38%20PM%20(2).png) Please note that all fields are optional, and you can still create a **Card** payment without entering any of this information. **Seller Credit:**   More details coming soon.    **Accounting Tab Updates**   The **Sellers** column has now been moved from the **Catalog** tab to the **Accounting** tab within an auction. You can still see which seller numbers are associated with each lot, but this information is now displayed in the Accounting tab instead of the Catalog tab. The process for checking in sellers remains the same. You can hover over a seller number in the Sellers column to view the seller’s name (and company if applicable) and email address. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.11.38 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.11.38%20PM%20(2).png?width=1873&height=349&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.11.38%20PM%20(2).png)   To change the seller assigned to a particular lot, click the **edit icon** within the seller number field. A dropdown will appear showing all sellers checked in for that auction and also an additional section organized by most recently used. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.52.15 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.52.15%20PM%20(2).png?width=1851&height=297&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.52.15%20PM%20(2).png) ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.52.06 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.52.06%20PM%20(2).png?width=968&height=482&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.52.06%20PM%20(2).png) A new **“Inv”** column now shows a blue invoice icon if a lot is assigned to a successful winning bidder. Clicking this icon takes you directly to their invoice. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.15.24 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.15.24%20PM%20(2).png?width=1850&height=355&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.15.24%20PM%20(2).png) To the right of the Inv column, there is a field where a **red pencil with a slash** appears once **any payment** has been made on an invoice. OR an edit button will appear, indicating edits CAN be made to that invoice because payment has NOT been applied.  ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.15.11 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.15.11%20PM%20(2).png?width=1855&height=799&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.15.11%20PM%20(2).png) Although the invoice is locked, you can still edit the **Lot Name** within the invoice, which corresponds to the Lot name in the catalog. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.40.29 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.40.29%20PM%20(2).png?width=1838&height=517&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.40.29%20PM%20(2).png) ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.40.38 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.40.38%20PM%20(2).png?width=1838&height=749&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.40.38%20PM%20(2).png) It is best practice to include important details like VIN or serial numbers in the Lot name during cataloging so they appear on the invoice. However, we recognize the need to make minor edits to the Lot description after a payment has been made (e.g., to add missing info such as VIN or serial numbers). Use this feature only for **minor corrections** like typos or misspellings. Changes made here will update the invoice and the underlying Lot name in the lot catalog as well. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.40.43 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.40.43%20PM%20(2).png?width=996&height=464&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.40.43%20PM%20(2).png) **Catalog Navigation Updates**   Accessing the catalog through the **Catalog** button has now been updated, and you can open the catalog from any area of the Admin UI, for example, from the Accounting tab or the Timed Report.   ****Invoice Report Updates****   The invoice report has now been properly updated so that the BP Tax Value field displays accurately in the Invoice Balance Due Amount if the invoice has been marked settled. Before:   ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 3.46.09 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%203.46.09%20PM%20(2).png?width=1388&height=291&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%203.46.09%20PM%20(2).png)   After:     ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 3.46.18 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%203.46.18%20PM%20(2).png?width=1313&height=311&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%203.46.18%20PM%20(2).png)   **Lot Deletion Update **   Lots can now be manually deleted individually as usual. To delete a lot from a catalog, go to the catalog within an auction, click the dropdown arrow to the right of the edit icon, and select Delete. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.55.51 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.55.51%20PM%20(2).png?width=1847&height=578&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.55.51%20PM%20(2).png) You’ll know the lot was successfully deleted when the confirmation message shown below appears. ![Screenshot 2025-11-24 at 2.55.59 PM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.55.59%20PM%20(2).png?width=1835&height=698&name=Screenshot%202025-11-24%20at%202.55.59%20PM%20(2).png) Please note that you cannot delete a lot if any bids are currently placed or have previously been placed on it. **Link Using Insert Link Option Update**   When setting up your Unpaid Invoice Email Template, you can insert the tag into the template, cut it, and then add it as a hyperlink to any text you prefer. After saving the template (see video below) and once the auction concludes, invoices are sent out, bidders will then receive an email containing an embedded link to their invoice. This link will successfully open the invoice in the system (see second video below).         Updated Knowledge Base Articles: 1.
