Popcorn System Updates: Invoices Now Available! |
T
he Trail's End System is now running up-to-date invoices that you can access for your unit. This allows you to view the total inventory received by your unit, the total amount due as well as any payments made. Reminder that payments are not due until 12/1/2016, however we will be able to calculate the amount of final payments at the October 22
Rebalance Day, and you will be able to make a payment that day.
To retrieve your invoice in the Trail's End Popcorn System, click on the "Reporting" drop down on the left and select "Unit Invoice."
Please review your invoice to confirm that all product received, product returned and payments made are showing correctly. Note that all invoices will show the base commission of 30% through Rebalance Day and the Order #3 due date. At that time, the commission will be adjusted, if applicable, based on the total sales amount to 35% or 40%.
Note that any transfers between units, or between Cradle of Liberty Council and unit, will be shown as adjustments to one of the existing orders and does not display separately on the invoice. Any questions regarding the invoices can be directed to popcorn@colbsa.org.

Popcorn Inventory & Transfers |
With the Show & Sell and Show & Deliver sales well underway, all units should now have an estimate of how their inventory compares to remaining Show & Sell and Show & Deliveries scheduled. If you find you are in need of additional product or you find that you expect to have excess product, please reach out to fellow units at the COL Popcorn Fundraiser Popcorn Page and share your wants and offers. We have several unit kernels who have been sharing their wants and offers and many transactions arranged through the group.
Please remember that you should not be using inventory at this time to fill your Scouts' Take Orders. The Rebalance Day and Order #3 are intended to help you fill these needs specifically, and it's more beneficial for everyone to sell the popcorn we have now at Show & Sell and Show & Deliver opportunities.
Please don't wait for Re-Balance Day on October 22 if you've got large quantities of unsold popcorn!
