I am wondering if I update Pampered partner with the new disc, will I still be able to enter sales on shows I have still this month, or do I need to wait until Augist 31st, midnight to update. I have been receiving orders from the mini-catalogs I mailed out, and I wanted to know if I could enter them. Will updating the program remove the item numbers for the retired products?
 
Hey there mrssyvo! How's things?? I sent in my Director paperwork last week!! E-mail me!

You can install the new Pampered Partner now, if you want to order any of the older things on a Paperwork/Supply order form, you will have to do it manually, but that is the only thing that you need to worry about.

The old catalog products are all still there and orderable (is that a word??). It goes by the month the show is in as to wether they can be ordered and the specials, etc!

Make sure you "Product Update"!

Hi JWPamp,
Congratulations on directorship. Way to Go !!!!! My girls are finally qualifiying, and my goal is still to make director my leadership.

Thanks for your info- I updated everything, and it is working great. I wanted to be ready, because I am receiving orders already from my mini-catalog mailing. My sneak-preview show is this week also, and I have a very busy 2 weeks coming up, so I wanted to get things going,
Thanks again
 
GO girl!! Wishing you the best of luck...my team has another 2 shows before I get the call, but I signed my 6th last Thursday!

I am so excited for them (and me, too!). We can both walk at Leadership!

Yeah!!
 
Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I can assure you that updating Pampered Partner with the new disc will not affect your ability to enter sales for shows you have this month. You can update at any time without any impact on your current sales. However, if you have any concerns, it is always best to wait until August 31st to update, just to be safe. As for the mini-catalog orders, you can definitely enter them into the system. Updating the program will not remove any item numbers for retired products. I hope this helps! Happy cooking and selling!
