@14Steve14 It would be great if there was a way to send a PDF of each of the invoices rather than printing so may be worth a chat with Gary with that thought.
John has a PDF Invoice add-on that can be purchased on his CartMart site and I bet he could tie it into your batch editor to do what you want. I'm not certain, but I think it was rewritten to use newer dependencies to make it more useful and easier to install.

When adding a new manufacturer I always check to see if its there to avoid duplication.

I have A-lot of manufacturers. Is there a way the drop down could show the first and last few characters of the pages manufacturers so I don't have to guess how far down the list to look.

I -think- you want to add in a new Manufacturer, but -first- check to see if that manufacturer already exists?
And you find it hard & time-consuming to page to (eg) manufacturers starting with "S" to check if SuperDuper might already be there.

If that's the case why not go in at a higher level? When you add a new Manufacturer have a little script run that says something like (if you are inserting an already used name); "Stop: Brand already exists".

That saves you all the paging, saves you all the effort, and saves your hair.

Something like
