Instructions for ordering your unit’s Show-N-Sell and Take Order popcorn. This function is for unit Kernels or a Committee Member. You must have a login ID and password set up for you by a previous unit person, your District Kernel, Council Kernel, or District Executive. You cannot register for this on your own. Step 1:Go to the Popcorn System at Step 2:Login. You should see a page similar to this one...

Step 3:At the top of the page click ORDERS. (Note: not the arrow, but the word.)

This is the main Ordering page. You can also see previous year’s orders by choosing the appropriate pull-down and click CHANGE SALES CYCLE Step 4:Click on the appropriate ORDER link for either Show-N-Sell or Take-Order. Note: this will only become links after your Council activates the system. Typically 1 week before the order is due.

This is an example of a Show-N- Sell order page. Next we’ll examine the different items on this page. Let’s zoom in a little...

STEP 5: The center column is for entering the quantity of CASES for each flavor.

The ratios on the left next to each flavor indicate how many CONTAINERS (bags or tins) are in each CASE (box) that you order. For example, 18 Pack Kettle Corn is 1:6 = 1 Case has 6 Boxes. 1:1 means there is one Tin in the box.

STEP 6: Enter the approximate number of Scouts you think will sell in your unit. Next let’s look at the bottom of this page...

After you enter all of the cases you want to order, you can SAVE CHANGES if you’re not ready to complete the order yet.

If you have entered quantity previously and now want to make a change, then enter the correct number in the open field and click RECALCULATE TOTAL.

STEP 7: When you are ready to make the order click SUBMIT TO COUNCIL and it’ll be on it’s way. You can also PRINT UNIT INVOICE for your records.

Take Order looks very similar to this. (Sorry, I don’t have a screen shot yet.) But in addition to the CASES fields you’ll also have a CONTAINER field. For example: if you need 4 Cases and 3 Bags of Caramel Corn, then you would put a 4 in the CASES field and a 3 in the CONTAINER FIELD. The page can also do the math for you: if you know you need 51 bags, then enter a 51 in the CONTAINER field and it will recalculate to 4 Cases and 3 Bags automatically.
