Submitting a Show Without Finalizing: Questions Answered

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Submitting a show without finalizing it is entirely possible. Users can enter all orders in the P3 system without submitting them to HO, which means they can prepare their show without closing it. The critical action is to avoid clicking the "Finalize and Submit" button, as this will send the show to HO and lock in the details, preventing any further changes. Therefore, entering orders is safe as long as the submission process is not initiated.

I'm getting ready to submit my first show (but not close it), my question is can I submit it on the computer but not finalize it yet? I want to go ahead and enter it so I can everything in there.
Thanks!

Enter all your orders. As long as you do NOT submit it to HO, you'll be fine. Just to clarify, entering orders is one thing, submit means actually closing it, finalizing it and sending into HO.

Which is the last tab - "Finish". Then clicking "Finalize and Submit" starts the process of submitting to HO. After that, you cannot change anything...not even with a phone call to HO.

So yes, you can enter everything in your P3 show with no issue.
