Troubleshooting a Show Closing - Help Needed!

[terryteach]

O.K. Here's my problem...Home office is closed so I can't ask them but I have a show that I did on Feb 27th and am closing it NOW (before Monday) and I have a guest who wants the Let's Eat Cookbook that has been discontinued as of 3/1 so PP won't let me enter it. I added it to the product list but when I go to put it in the show it won't allow me. Does anyone know if I can do this and how to do it- thanks so much!

Is your show dated for February? If you have it for March it won't take it...

Ok, I feel really stupid, but what cookbook called Let's Eat was discontinued?

You aren't stupid! Let's Eat is the kids cookbook and it's NOT discontinued! It's item #2221 on page 44 of the S/S 07 catalog.

Ok, good, I was freaking out a little. Usually when a cookbook is being discontinued I make sure I tell everyone so they can get it before it is gone.

Terry,

Maybe you just need to do the Product List update in PP? Not sure why it won't work...

That's true - I didn't even think of the fact that it's not discontinued. Wonder what's up? I just tried and didn't have any problems entering it...

O.K. - I'm the stupid one! the guest had written down the wrong # and I got confused because the other kids stuff (apron etc) was being discontinued I thought I had missed something and the cookbook was too! MY BAD!! That's what happens when you enter shows late at night!! The thing is that the message just kept saying item not found in current price list so that confused me. Oh well - you learn!
Thanks for your help anyway!

Glad you were able to solve it!

If the date on PP for that show is in February, you should be able to add it. If you input the show on or after the first, then PP will default to the date the show was input. I've had this happen to me before and finally figured out that the date was going in as the input date, I wasn't paying enought attention to change it to the show date.
