OK, A did a show for me recently and B and C were guests. B booked a show, and at B's show, A tells me that C (who was not there) wanted to book a show.

B's show is closing today, and I wanted to know if I can add C as a booking, even though he wasn't there, and didn't order anything. Can I just add him as a guest in PP, and fill him in as a booking, but not have an order for him?

I wanted B to have a chance to get another host special, which is why I wanted to be able to add C as a booking from her show.
 
Yes, you can entered him as a no sell but list as a booking.
 
I do this all of the time. Especially if I know someone is going to do a show that has not booked from another show, I will add them to a friend's show to be able to get the booking benefit. I did several to me Fall Open House.

That's exactly what you do: Add an order for C, but have no products on it. Then go onto the booking tab and enter the booking. It happens fairly often.
