I'm trying to put in a few order for a show in another week and new items are not coming up! I've self run the updates and shut down P3 twice and re started. I have the shows date for March 10th. Is anyone else having a problem?
 
I was last week. I found that I could import orders from my PWS with the items, but couldn't enter them directly in P3. Obviously, HO hasn't pushed an updated product file. And since it's the weekend, it won't be available today. Give it until a couple hours after start of business tomorrow, and then try again.
 
I am thinking along the same line as chefann. I also noticed that the "snow flurries" on our website are still there today. I am WAY tired of those things....
 
Anything that was supposed to change for the beginning of the month will change tomorrow. That's the problem when the first is on the weekend. :) (Although there is probably a way to automate it, often it's easier for someone to manually implement the change.)
 
You can also key in the new product numbers and it is fine. I noticed even though I resubmitted some credit card info as well, it is not showing authorized yet. I am thinking that can't be done with office closed either.

Yep, you can manually type in item numbers, and it takes it.
 
I was noticing the same thing during my open house yesterday. I could key in the numbers, but if I tried to be lazy and "search" for the item, the new ones didn't show up. I also have a lot of red dots next to some of my orders, and I can't figure out why....everything looks OK. Maybe after I update P3 tomorrow they'll go away. Not submitting til Tues.
 
I called HO last week about this, so they know there is a problem. I thought by today it would be fine, but it's not. You just need to know the item number and key it in that way. The host specials do come up in the list, but just not the products.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when P3 is not updated with new products?

When P3 (Pampered Chef's digital catalog and ordering system) is not updated with new products, it indicates that the latest items from the current catalog or season are not yet available for consultants to showcase or sell through the platform. This can happen due to various reasons, including system updates or delays in product launches.

How often is P3 updated with new products?

P3 is typically updated in alignment with new product launches, which usually occur at the beginning of each season or catalog cycle. However, updates can also happen more frequently if there are special promotions or limited-time offers. It's important for consultants to stay informed about these updates through official Pampered Chef communications.

What should I do if P3 is not showing the latest products?

If P3 is not showing the latest products, first check for any announcements from Pampered Chef regarding system updates or product launches. You can also try refreshing the application or logging out and back in. If the issue persists, reach out to Pampered Chef's support team for assistance.

Can I still sell new products if they are not in P3?

Yes, you can still sell new products even if they are not yet reflected in P3. You can share information about the new products through other means, such as social media, email, or in-person gatherings. Just ensure that you have accurate details and images to provide to your customers.

How can I stay updated on when P3 will have new products?

To stay updated on when P3 will have new products, regularly check the Pampered Chef website, subscribe to newsletters, and follow official Pampered Chef social media channels. Additionally, joining consultant groups or forums can provide insights and updates from fellow consultants regarding product availability.
