Why can't I set 10/31/2009 as the closing date for my cooking show?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The user encountered restrictions when attempting to set the closing date for a cooking show to 10/31/2009, as the system only allowed dates between 11/01/2009 and 11/29/2009. The discussion highlights the requirement for a minimum 24-hour duration between the start and end dates. The user suggests a workaround by initially setting the dates to 10/31-11/01 and later adjusting them to 10/30-10/31 to ensure the closing date appears as 10/31 for order placements.

I just added a party to my calendar (YAY!) and had it update to the website. I'd like for the show to close that day (10/31/2009), however, when I put the same ending date as the starting date, it gives a message that it has to be between 11/01/2009 & 11/29/2009.

First of all, why can't I put 10/31/2009? Second of all, why would the ending date have to be 11/29 & not 11/30 if it was giving me until the next month end? Or even 11/15 for the specials? I don't understand. :grumpy:
 
It wants 24 hours. Just make the dates 10/30-10/31 & it should take. ;)
 
Oh, just realized this might be a cooking show. Hmmmm. You can put in 10/31-11-1, send out the invitations & then change it to 10/30-10/31 so that when people place an order they will see the closing date as 10/31. Should work.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I set 10/31/2009 as the closing date for my cooking show?

The date 10/31/2009 is in the past, and Pampered Chef's system only allows closing dates that are current or future dates. You need to select a date that is today or later to ensure the show can be processed correctly.

Is there a specific time frame for closing a cooking show?

Yes, cooking shows typically have a closing date that is set within a certain time frame after the show date. This is usually within a few weeks to allow guests to place orders. However, you cannot set a closing date that is in the past.

What should I do if I accidentally selected a past date?

If you accidentally selected a past date for your cooking show, you will need to go back and choose a new closing date that is today or in the future. Make sure to double-check the date before finalizing your show details.

Can I change the closing date after it has been set?

Yes, you can change the closing date of your cooking show as long as it is still in the future. If you need to adjust the date, simply access your show details and select a new closing date that meets the requirements.

Why is it important to set a correct closing date?
