Graphic Production Costs Added to Go2Show

Over the last couple of years several of you have come up with solutions to taking a Graphic order from a client. Some have been Go2Show solutions and some have been inside the core e-Info function.

Recently one of our sites who uses a rather slick  ‘Order a new Graphic”  trick in Go2Show asked for some help in both informing the customer of the costs for a New Graphic verses the typical pull & prep and making life a little better for their internal staff by eliminating a step in order processing.

The system was able to offer up an excellent solution and as a result we all get to share.
For the Asset type you want to allow the User to order, most likely Graphics, you need to add the new Attribute GRAPHIC PRODUCTION COSTS. Then when you upload your solution for placing a graphic order apply your Cost for that Graphic to the Attributes of that item.

On the Go2Show Selection screen that new value will now Appear and that same cost will be placed in a separate row on the Budget Screen all on one same click. The client sees their cost separated out on the G2S receipt and Budget and there is no need for any account time to go into a budget and separate the costs out.
