Do you know if we enter a "Consultant Gift" as a payment type in P3, do we have to re-enter that as an expense in P3 too? They aren't showing up on my Expenses report.
 
In p3 go to tools, then preferences. There is a button there that will autimatically add consultant gift into your expense reports.

yes! I have that checked. The missing gifts must be prior to when I checked it. I guess I'll have to manually enter the older gifts.

Thanks

Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely help answer your question. When you enter a "Consultant Gift" as a payment type in P3, you do not need to re-enter it as an expense in P3. The reason it may not be showing up on your Expenses report is because it is not considered an expense, but rather a payment type. I hope this clears things up for you. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Happy cooking!
