Reversing a reprint for a Sponsor's ticket?

We delivered to a top donor their order in July for a dozen tickets.  The concert is tomorrow, and by mistake, a new box office employ reprinted the order.  The tickets are already in their guest's possession and will not scan when they arrive tomorrow evening.  Can we reverse this action so their barcode will scan correctly?

  • What you could do is load the order, Order History tab, and look at the new ticket numbers. They should be sequential. Your staff could have a list of those numbers (e.g. 9081233 - 9081242). If after scanning a ticket, they see a "Superseded by reprint" error and the name that shows up on the scan matches the Sponsor's name on the order, then your staff manually types in one of the ticket numbers.

    An easier version is your staff just keeps track of how many "Superseded by reprint" scans that has the Sponsor's name (the NScan display shows the constituent's name). However, this idea doesn't work if the patrons are scanning their own tickets.

    Another idea is that I can email you a SQL script that John Moskal II created. Your CRM Administrator would have to test that it works in your Test/Dev before attempting to do it in your Live/Prod environment.
