Help!

I'm trying to submit a show via PP and there are 2 hosts. Both orders are entered in PP and when I go to balance, it tells me the Host order needs to be entered. This is not the first time I've done co-hosted shows and never had issues. Has anyone ever encountered this and how did you fix it. I was hoping to submit the show tonite, as I'm out of town tommorow. What's really weird is it doesn't keep the free value split each time I go into either hosts order, I have to retype the host free value of goods.

Tks
 
Is it possible you accidentally clicked co-host on both of the hosts names?

Yes it is, so I only click it on 1 name? Ahh... I'll try and see if that solves my problem.

tks so much!
 
I was doing the exact same thing the first couple of times I put in co-hosts.

It worked!! I must have spent an hour trying to tweak with the program, doing an update, etc.

Thanks! I won't make that mistake again, trying to transmit now, but I think something's wrong on the end, it keeps timing out on me... but at least I was able to balance off my show!!

Tks for your help!:)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my co-host and I have conflicting orders?

If you and your co-host have conflicting orders, it's important to communicate openly. Review the orders together and determine which items belong to each host. You can also consider splitting the orders based on the preferences of your guests. Make sure to keep track of who ordered what to avoid confusion later.

How can I manage guest orders effectively during a co-hosted show?

To manage guest orders effectively, create a shared document or spreadsheet where both hosts can input orders in real-time. This helps keep everything organized and allows both hosts to see what has been ordered. Additionally, consider assigning a specific time during the show for guests to place their orders to streamline the process.

What are some tips for balancing the workload between co-hosts?

To balance the workload, divide responsibilities based on each host's strengths and preferences. For example, one host can handle the presentation while the other manages guest interactions. Set clear roles before the show, and communicate regularly during the event to ensure everything runs smoothly.

How can we handle returns or exchanges for a co-hosted show?

Handling returns or exchanges can be tricky in a co-hosted show. It's best to establish a clear policy before the show starts. Discuss how returns will be processed and who will handle them. Make sure to keep records of all transactions and communicate with guests about the process to avoid any misunderstandings.

What should we do if one host is unable to fulfill their part of the show?

If one host is unable to fulfill their part of the show, it's crucial to have a backup plan in place. This could involve the other host stepping in to cover the responsibilities or rescheduling the show if necessary. Communicate with guests about any changes and ensure they are informed about the new arrangements to maintain trust and transparency.
