I wish that we could put in like our own item number (misc1 or something like that) and then our own description (sold hostess one dot bowl from kit or whatever). They could make it where it wouldn't add to the party total. I just think this would be a handy feature.

If this can already be done, can someone tell me how?

THanks

Carol, there is room to make a note on a customer, but nothing like you're talking about. The question that comes to my mind is why? Are you thinking about them having a record of when and where they bought the item from you?
 
I never worry about a receipt for things like that. If I sell them something from my overflow, it's with NO WARRANTY so I don't think they need a receipt for that....JMHO

Thats true about the warranty, hadn't thought about it. It would be nice to be able to like list there outlet orders along with their current orders on one reciept. I could also put like a NW (no warranty) on the description. I just think it would be nice to be able to have the option of adding our own description.
 
I understand what you mean though b/c part of the USE of P3 is to be able to search what people buy. That way if SA is on sale, I can check if they've purchased any (even on sale (outlet) or from me directly).
 
I'm not sure if this will apply to what you need, but if you go into the summary screen on a show there is a box for "notes". That is where I add if the host let someone else use her 60% Host Special option, or if two or more combined their order I might put Mary Smith ordered with Jane Doe, etc. It wouldn't be separate information if you ever wanted to look for just that but at least you could look up the Host's shows and see the notes. I keep a little notebook with names and what I have sold people.
I also use the Note screen to put directions to Host's house so I don't have to ask the next time :)

I've been using the notes section. And I have a notebook as well. Great minds think alike :)
