Okay, sometimes I'll use the consultant gift as a payment option for shows (games, FREE stuff I offer, etc). Anyway, has anyone else noticed that P3 doesn't automatically keep track of this in the Income and Expenses? Or -- is it just me? I had to manually enter them last night after I realized they weren't there. My ED swears that it's all done automatically, but I don't think so. I know the supply orders are added automatically, and CG were in PP, but I'm guessing not in P3. Anyone else notice this? TIA
 
The reports on P3 are not as developed as they want them to be. If you need reports now, go back to PP. That is why I haven't switched over - I still have to do my taxes!
 
Oh, they are working on it and they should get better.
 
Wow, I'll have to check out mine. Thanks.
 
Sherrie,You're right, P3 doesn't automatically add the gift to the expenses. Yet.
