Understanding Delivered vs. Undelivered Scout Sales

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The Trail’s End system is designed to help Scouts track their own deliveries for Scout (Wagon) Sales. Correctly marking sales as Delivered or Delivering Later ensures Scouts know who still needs product and helps leaders manage inventory accurately.


What Does Delivered vs. Undelivered Mean?

When recording a Scout Sale, there are two delivery options:

Delivered (Delivering Now)

  • The Scout has the product on hand

  • The product is given to the customer at the time of sale

  • The sale should be marked Delivered

Undelivered (Delivering Later)

  • The Scout is taking an order

  • The product will be delivered at a later time

  • The sale should be marked Delivering Later

This allows Scouts to track which customers still need deliveries and helps leaders understand which Scouts need inventory.


Who Should Update Delivery Status?

Scouts

  • Scouts should update delivery status themselves whenever possible

  • This helps them learn responsibility and keep track of their own deliveries

Unit Leaders

Leaders generally should not routinely change delivery statuses, since this feature is meant for Scout tracking. However, leaders may update delivery status when needed:

  • If a Scout has delivered the product but forgot to mark it

  • If a Scout marked an item delivered but does not yet have inventory

Correcting delivery status helps keep inventory accurate and avoids system issues.


How Delivery Status Affects Inventory

Delivery status is closely tied to inventory tracking:

  • When a Scout marks an item delivered, it is subtracted from their Scout inventory.

  • An undelivered item does NOT impact inventory.

  • If a Scout marks an item Delivered but the leader has not transferred inventory to that Scout in the system, it will appear as negative inventory

  • If an item is marked Undelivered, it signals the leader that inventory is needed
