...just thought I'd add some additional information to Ann's changeover information.

My ED sent this out yesterday:

"For ordering personal and sample orders, here's how it works.

If a Consultant wants to place a sample order in August, the computer
will first check to see if she was active in July (sold at least $150).
If she was, she can place the sample order. We didn't want to hold up
anyone's sample order if they hadn't yet submitted their first August
sales.

However, if she didn't sell $150 in July, then she does need to first
submit $150 in August before placing a sample order."
 
Thanks for that info, Janet. I'm going to add it to the changeover thread.
