Can I enter orders into P3 as they come in for a show? Or do I have to wait for the show to close. I'm not sure if I can start an order and not submit it until the show closes. This will be my frist show order.

and also I'm guessing that they show number will be 1 since it's my first?

Thanks,
Donna
 
As the shows orders come in you can add them to PP3 under that host. I have one on there from February still that hasn't close!!!:mad:

Adding them as they come in also tells you how much the show is, how much the host has in free, 1/2 price etc...

Yes, show number will be 1 if this is your first. Congratulations on starting your business!

So you are fine doing that.

I feel your pain! I finally had to tell my Feb. Host that I had to enter her guests orders and apologized for not being able to make a show of it. Sometimes we just have to do whats best for the guests and not the hosts no matter how HARD we try :cool:
 
This will be a great learning tool for you Donna.

Seems like it's very easy to use.
 
You can enter orders as you need & have several shows in P3 at one time. You just don't finalize any of them until you are ready to send them to HO.
