The costume vendor page is used to add new costume vendors to your database or manage the contact information of your current vendors.
Create a new costume vendor:
From the Home screen click on the Performances tab at the top of Akada Online.
Click on Manage Costumes.
You should now be on the Vendors page.
Click Add Vendor.
Vendor Contact - When you create a vendor you will add all of the necessary contact information in this section.
Customer Number - If you have an account number with a vendor you may add that number to this field.
Sales Tax - This is the rate of tax you pay to this vendor. This is often confused with the rate that you charge your customers.
Costume Vendor - This box enables or disables the size table functions. If this is a costume vendor be sure this box stays checked.
Order Date - This would be the day you ordered or plan to order your costumes.
Required Date - This would be the date that you have to have the costumes by.
Picture Date - This would be the scheduled date for student pictures in costume.
To Create Size Tables:
Scroll to the bottom of the Vendor Page.
Click on the Size Table type.
From the vendor's size chart enter the largest girth measurement for that size and choose the correct size from the menu.*
Click Save.
Repeat this process until you have entered all sizes.
*There is no need to create a separate entry for each possible girth measurement. Example: Based on the image above if you assigned a costume to a student with a girth of 47 inches then the student would automatically be assigned a Child Medium because that measurement is larger than the max size for a small and smaller than the max size for a medium.
