I just had a show tonight where I offered the guests immediate delivery on the F/W Season's Best. I figured this was a great way to get rid of my extras. Well it worked! I sold about 8 of them. Now the problem comes in how to enter these in PP. Nearly every order has a RUFTH amount so if I don't include the Season's Bests, those numbers would be different. If I DO include the Season's Bests, then the guests would be getting 2 for the price of 1! HELP!
 
If you already had them in hand and gave them to the customers, you don't put them in PP.

How did the customers pay?

Some paid by credit card and I think 1 paid in cash.
 
At this point, you add them to the order, but then you have to get them back from the host since you already gave them to the guests.
 
It's OK if the credit card payments are a little higher than the amount ordered. Just take out the cash, to pay yourself for the cookbooks. The main thing is that the show is "balanced" when all is said and done.
Make sense?

So, if Jane pays an extra $, and Mary pays an extra $, because they each bought a cookbook on their credit card, just deduct an extra $2 from Sally's "cash payment". What will happen is, it will look like Sally owes $2 on her order, and that Jane and Mary have each "overpaid" on their order by $1, but the show is balanced.

I hope that is making sense..

That's what I was thinking but was afraid that it would mess things up with their credit card charges. Thanks for the help! I knew someone would have the answer for me. :)
 
If you do this next time, I would have them on hand at the show and give it to them there.

I had the books on hand and gave them to the guests there but they wanted them on the receipts to show they paid for them. I did what Paula suggested and it all balanced out perfectly. Thanks so much! BTW, I have to add this...I got my first $1000 show!! YAY! Too bad the host specials & half price items are killing my commission. :(

Well done! Gotta love those 1K shows!
