Ok this is my second show input and for some reason there is a balance difference between the total orders= $368.18 (I tallied up each check) to what the balance of what the host owes= $266.84? I dont' understand why this is? Can anyone explain, very confused? :confused:
 
Hummm???OK Heather,

You have a difference of $101.34. You checked the check totals then checked the orders.
In Pampered Partner, open up the show. There is a tab under Show Information in the top portion/center of the screen. It is directly under the show type, number and date. It reads PAYMENT OVERVIEW.
Click on that tab. Match your checks to the payments shown there. Someone's order was posted with an incorrect payment possibly.
I will check back later to see if this helped. If not, maybe I can think of something else to check.

Good luck!

Hi Heather-

Sometimes if someone pays me with a check, I forget to hit the "payment info" tab and then that person isn't marked in the tally as "payed". (I hope that makes sense). You might want to go back and make sure you opened up the payment info screen for all your orders.

Hope this helps!

thanksI took those steps and input the check #s and it is now balanced!
 
GoodWe have all done it. That's why all those tools are there and that's how we knew where to look.
 
Gluten Free RecipeI have a party this Friday and the host has requested a gluten free recipe because her best friend has a gluten allergy. Does anyone have a gluten free recipe that does not require the purchase of special (health store) food? The host does not want a dessert. HELP!
