I completely forgot to enter the mileage from some of my recent shows ... until after they were submitted.

Can I still record these?

Also, can P3 track expenses not directly related to a show ... like the gift basket I gave away from a drawing, the mileage to deliver it, mileage to my business pampering, to vendor fairs, supplies for these events, etc.
 
I always just add them as expenses, not on the show itself. You can link them to the show that they are associated with, so it's no problem. You can also link other expenses like Consultant Gifts, if you want. I just keep all of my paper receipts and do it all in January at once, and that's how I've done it. HTH
 
I keep a mileage book in my car. I write the host's name and detail the mileage. Then I put it in PP at the end of the year, not on the individual show.
