Expendables Sales

We have a decent size standalone expendables business.

Selling Expendables

ALL sales now go through CurrentRMS. Even the Warehouse account should be able to create an order.

• Look-up the purchaser under the "People & Organizations" menu to see if they are in the system.
  • If not in the system, please Add them as an "Organization". Just Name & email address. If a student, select the "Student" Price Level (at bottom).
• In the Purchaser's Organization, under the Opportunities, select the "Add Opportunity Link" and add an ORDER.
• For Subject, just put sale. and click Create Order. No need for any details.

Expendables Locations

There are 3 locations where expendables are stored:

• Lobby Area - staples for walk-up sales
• Bay Gel Rack - Used only to store PARTIAL rolls we use for student cuts
• Studio - Where most of the inventory is stored.

Any time we run out of stock, you should put a note in the #needslist slack channel.

Gels

Gel By the Foot

We use partial rolls to sell by the foot. They are stored in the bay, and should have a piece of tape indicating how many feet are left on the roll. When gel is cut off, the number should be crossed out and updated.

To keep things organized, gels should be put back in the rack as soon as the sale is done.

If you run out of a kind of gel, put a note in the slack #needslist channel.

If you run out of gel and need some for a sale, you can check the "AS USED" stock for it. If there some, you can open the bag. Put a note in slack #needslist saying we need an AS-USED replacement.

DO NOT open a full roll of gel under any circumstances without checking with Jean-Marc.

As-Used Gels

We have partial rolls that have been bagged and are sold on an as-used basis. They get sent on jobs, and if the bag is opened, we know gel has been used and we can charge. These rolls are stored either in the bay or in the studio.

As much as possible, we want to keep those gels sealed to put on a job, but if you run out of by the foot, you can open a bag.

Full Rolls

The Full rolls are in the rack in the Studio. We should have 2 rolls of all the common types at all times so we have inventory to sell to a show at any given moment. These rolls should stay intact and are only for sale as whole rolls.

Transferring FULL ROLLS to By the Foot

When we run out of by the foot gels, we might need to use a full roll (if we have spares). This needs to be accounted for in our inventory.
