Non performance sales

Hi Rog,
We sell all of our merchandise as fees. Since you have to attach a FY to the fees, we go in and change the fiscal years at the appropriate time. This is working well for us because we don't have to worry about creating all of these additional "performances."

Hello,
Sorry to activate an old thread, but I wondered if I could get a little more detail about how others sell merchandise?
We are currently getting set-up for our move to Tessitura next month and have a small number of CDs which we sell over the counter. I think we are going to go with the option of making these into dummy events and using a GA map, but I was wondering:
- As we account for these sales yearly, do you make a new version every year or just run off sales-reports over a specific time period?
- As each item will presumably need a performance date, do you tend to just set these as many years into the future (to keep them off calender)?
If you have other suggestions on the most efficient way to do this, that would be great.
Many Thanks,
Rog

Folks,
Thanks for your thoughts - I've changed my conference schedule to include the topic you mention, Annie.
Gary - would love to chat over this with you at the conference - I'm leaning towards the fee based idea as inventory control isn't a concern here (I THINK!)
