Recommendation Recommendation

If it has been a while since you have opened the List of Items window until you have actually chosen the item, close the List of Items window and open it again to refresh the display. If the status of an item has been changed, and it is no longer a purchasing item, this item does not appear in the refreshed list.

End of the recommendation.
