Here's a stumperI submitted a show (and it was delivered to me and all was well) I just checked PP and saw that the show was not balanced (but submitted) HMMMM. Anyway, I thought I would go in to just balance it (for my records) and when I do this an error message pops up and says that the host has to have 10 guests to get the free chef's tongs (from last month) Here is the kicker...she got them (there were 10 orders counting hers, just not 10 guests) This message did not pop up when I submitted the order. Hmmmm again, Did I find a loop hole? BTW, it was not on P3. Valky

My copy of the Hostess specials specifies, Reecive Chef Tongs "when you have "15" or more buying guests". So, your Hostess was just lucky! Let well enough alone on that one!

I did this post in a hurry ...it was 15 orders not the ten...but she had only 14 guests not counting herself ($800 show). I just was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I'm not complaining, just thought it was odd. Valky
 
the date on a guest's CC expired on the last day of January
 
Well, the host order does not count toward the 15 required orders.

As far as your show now showing as unbalanced: when a credit card expires it unbalances the show (yes, even the submitted shows). I believe I had one show go unbalanced when the tax rate changed and then I opened the show to check something. lol

Don't worry about it. If it shows submitted, it was balanced when it went to HO.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my submitted show showing as unbalanced?

Your submitted show may be showing as unbalanced due to a discrepancy between the total sales and the total payments received. This can happen if there are pending payments or if some orders have not been fully processed yet.

What should I check if my show is unbalanced?

First, review the order details to ensure all items are accounted for and that there are no missing payments. Check for any pending orders or payments that have not been finalized. Additionally, verify if any discounts or promotions were applied incorrectly.

How can I fix an unbalanced show?

To fix an unbalanced show, you will need to identify the source of the discrepancy. Make sure all payments are recorded and that all orders are processed. If you find any errors, you may need to contact customer support for assistance in correcting them.

Will an unbalanced show affect my commission?

Yes, an unbalanced show can affect your commission. If the show is not balanced, it may not be processed for commission calculations until the issue is resolved. It’s important to address any discrepancies as soon as possible to ensure you receive your earnings.

How long does it take to resolve an unbalanced show?

The time it takes to resolve an unbalanced show can vary depending on the nature of the issue. If it involves missing payments or orders, it may take a few days for everything to be processed. For more complex issues, it may require contacting customer support, which could take longer to resolve.
