Re: [Leaders] Cookie info

There are two kinds of incentives--initial incentives and final incentives.  The initial incentive is only earned if a girl sold 150 boxes of cookies, so that might not apply to you.  It is usually delivered with the initial cookie order.

The final incentive order is due April 12.  It can include booth sale cookies, that's why it's later.  You can allocate boxes to individual girls--for both the booth sale cookies and the extra cookies that the troop bought to round up to a case for each variety.   The extras are shown in the Girl Orders tab at the bottom on the Difference line--these can be allocated to individual girls if you want..  You do this by going into the eBudde Girl Orders tab.  Click on a girl's name, click the Add Transactions button and enter her name and the amount of cookies you're adding to her total on the live boxes at the bottom of the screen.  Next, click on the OK button at the end of that live line, then do the save process.  (This is from an email Council sent out last year.)  Final incentives are delivered later, after sales are done.

When you're ready to submit the final incentive order, go into the Incentives tab, and where it says Final Incentives, click the Fill Out button.  Click Edit All, then at the bottom click Submit All Girl Orders, then click Submit Incentive Order to submit the order for the troop.  Again, this is due by April 12, but if you're all done selling, I encourage you to do it now so you don't forget.  Initial incentives are done the same way, but are much simpler since there's only one incentive.

Another note about the "extras", or boxes that your troop buys in order to round the order up to the case--if you are doing Troop Gift of Caring (donated cookies for which your troop picks the organization to which to donate, listed in the TGOC column under Initial Orders) the ebudde software will assume you want to take your donated cookies out of those extras.  For those, you don't have to allocate boxes to individual girls, because they are already listed as part of a girl's order.  Council Gift of Caring cookies (also known as virtual cookies) are not taken out of the extras, but are still automatically allocated to girls for incentive purposes.

If you have more questions, the easiest way to reach me is via email at searscf@gmail.com but if that doesn't work for some reason, you can call my cell phone at 616-826-2626.  We have had reports that some people are calling other leaders who did sales in other years--Susan and Jen--please don't call them.  Instead please keep contacts to the people who are involved this year--Charlie, Stephanie, or Jill.

Thanks
