I just noticed that in a rush to get orders entered to close a show, that I keyed some outside orders in as guests. Does it Matter?
 
Not really. I key outside orders as outside orders because it puts a * by the name so I know which orders to print out after the show.

That's why I do it too - I don't think it makes any difference. There isn't a report that I know of that keeps track of one vs. the other....although I've often thought it would be interesting to see the percentages of sales from outside orders. (I love statistics.)
 
It doesn't matter - my first several shows I didn't do it on because I didn't know it was there. It just makes it easier to tell what to print and if you want to do CCCs you know not to say... We met at Susie's show... ;)
 
I just switched over to P3 and didn't even know there was an outside order option - lots to learn!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Does P3 differentiate between guest and outside orders?

Yes, P3 does differentiate between guest orders and outside orders. Guest orders are those placed by individuals who are part of a specific party or event hosted by a consultant, while outside orders refer to purchases made by individuals who are not associated with that specific event.

How can I tell if an order is a guest order in P3?

In P3, guest orders are typically marked or categorized under the specific party or event they are associated with. You can view the order details to confirm if it is linked to a particular guest list.

What happens to outside orders in P3?

Outside orders in P3 are processed separately from guest orders. They are recorded independently and do not contribute to the party's sales totals or rewards, ensuring that only guest orders count towards the host's benefits.

Can I convert an outside order to a guest order in P3?

Generally, outside orders cannot be converted to guest orders once they are placed. However, you can encourage the customer to place a new order under the party to ensure it counts towards the host's rewards.

Why is it important to differentiate between guest and outside orders?

Differentiating between guest and outside orders is important because it impacts the host's rewards and the overall sales performance of the party. Guest orders contribute to the party's total, while outside orders do not, affecting the consultant's commission and the host's benefits.
