Cookies Initial Order The Initial Order page allows you to place your Troop’s Initial Order. The Initial Order feature is located under the Cookies menu. Your Troop may only place one initial cookie order. The initial order will be placed for each girl in your troop who sold cookies. Creating the Initial Order for Each Girl To create an Initial Order by girl, the girl names added under Add/Edit/Delete Troop Girls will appear on the order grid. To create the order for each girl, use the Tab key on your keyboard to move through each field and enter the quantity of each variety next to each girl’s name. An optional order reference field is provided. Cookies for booth sales or Troop extras can be entered in the Booths/Extras row. The Extra packages for even cases row displays the packages required to fill the case. For initial orders that are entered in packages, the order grid will also display a row showing the total number of cases, by variety, at the bottom. Cookie Share/Troop Care Note: You will have a ninth column for Cookie Share cookies. On the initial order grid, the Cookie Share cookies are not included in the Total column on the righthand side of the grid. Girls will receive credit for Cookie Share sales but won’t take delivery of these cookies if you are running a Virtual cookie sale. There is no need for Troops to order Virtual Cookie Share cookies by variety since they don’t take delivery of these cookies. If your troop is participating in Troop Care INSTEAD of Cookie Share DO NOT put any cookies in the COOKIE SHARE column. Any cookies listed there WILL NOT be coming to your troop and will be donated to a food pantry within our council. If you are participating in Troop Cares, your troop will use the “extra packages” for making even cases to fill these cookies to donate to a charity of your choosing. These “extra packages” will need to be transferred to each girl after your initial order is placed so she earns credit for them for her incentives. After entering the quantities, you can choose to Save or Commit the order. These choices are explained below: Save - This allows you to save the information that you have entered. You can still make changes to saved orders. To view or change an order that was saved, use the Manage Orders feature to display and edit the order.
Commit – To commit an order means that the order is complete. Once you click the Commit button, a pop-up box will appear confirming that you want to commit the order. Note: Review the order for accuracy. If you need to make changes, you may edit the order. Once you commit an order, you will not be able to make any changes to the order; you will have to contact your Service Unit to make any revisions for you.
Reorder If you need to reorder any additional cookies, please DO NOT use the Reorder feature in SNAP. If you’d like any additional cookies, please contact your Community PSM, Cookie Cupboard or a Product Sales Manager in the Council Service Center closest to you. You may also want to check with other troops in your community to see if they have “extra” cookies which they have not sold yet. If they do, you can easily transfer their extra cookies to your troop using the transfer feature.
Damage Order If you have any damaged cookies, please DO NOT use the Damage Order feature located under Cookies on the menu. Please contact a local cookie cupboard or Product Sales staff member to get replacement product. It is very important that you turn in the box and contents to receive the replacement product as we need to provide the “lot” number to ABC for their information on all damaged cookies and how the box was damaged.
Planned Order The Planned order feature allows Troops to schedule Reorders that can be picked up at predesignated Cupboards. The Planned Order feature is located on the Cookies menu. We currently are NOT utilizing this feature in SNAP. If you’d like any additional cookies, please contact your Community PSM, Cookie Cupboard or a Product Sales Manager in the Council Service Center closest to you. You may also want to check with other troops in your community to see if they have “extra” cookies which they have not sold yet. If they do, you can easily transfer their extra cookies to your troop using the transfer feature.
Transfer Order The Transfer Order feature allows you to create transfers orders for your Troop. Transfers are used to move quantities from one entity to another. The Transfer Order feature is located under Cookies on the menu. To create a Transfer Order, select the Transfer Order feature from the menu and select the type of transfer to continue. Types of Transfer Orders The types of transfer orders available are controlled by permissions. Your list may include: Girl to Girl (completed by Troop Cookie Coordinator – see example below) Girl to Troop (completed by Troop Cookie Coordinator – see example below) Troop to Girl (completed by Troop Cookie Coordinator – see example below) Troop to Troop (completed by Troop Cookie Coordinator – see example below) Troop to Cupboard (completed by Cookie Cupboard Manager or Council Product Staff) Cupboard to Troop (completed by Cookie Cupboard Manager or Council Product Staff) Transfer from Troop to Girl; Girl to Troop; Troop to Troop; or Girl to Girl (You don’t need exact cookie type quantities; you only need to know if the cookies are booth cookies or catch up/extra cookies sold) Click on “cookies” Click on “Transfer order” Click on “add row” Where it asks for type of transfer, choose the one that best fits the situation. More than likely it will be “troop to girl” In the “from” line, choose the “service Unit” and “troop”. This is where the cookies are transferring from. In the “To” line, choose the “service unit”, “troop”, and “girl” (if needed). This is WHO is getting the cookies. Then, depending on the situation, the number of cookies will either go in the “quantity” box or the “booth” box. IF this is a “catch up” order, and the girl will be financially responsible for them, put the cookies in the “quantity” box. IF this is a booth sale where we just want to get the girls the credit for recognitions, put it in the “booth” box. This way the girl is NOT financially responsible for these cookies.
Example of a transfer from Troop to girl (catch up/extra order) “Order Reference”: Catch up order – 11/13/2010 Transfer
From: La Crosse; T4003 To: La Crosse; T4003; Megan Riley Quantity: 6
Example of a transfer from Troop to girl (booth sales distribution) “Order Reference”: booth sale on 11/13/2010 Transfer
From: La Crosse; T4003 To: La Crosse; T4003; Megan Riley Booth: 26

the incentive each girl has chosen at each level. This information can be obtained from her signed parent permission slip. Once the recognitions order is complete, click Save or Commit to complete the order. Click Cancel to reset the selections without making changes.

Updating a recognition order for a troop If a troop sold more cookies either through booth sales or catch up orders OR if a troop had extra cookies to make full cases that were assigned to the girl(s) who sold them, a troops recognition order will need to be updated.

At the Troop level, it brings up a screen with 6 types of orders. The last one is the “recognition orders” Click on the white down arrow on the right of the “recognition orders” row.

At the very top in Red, the screen says, “This recognition order must be updated before it can be modified.” Go all the way to the bottom of the order and click “update”. After you click, it says, “This will update your recognition order with the latest girl sales. Please save the order on the next page to keep all updates.” Click “ok”

Online Marketing Tools Online Marketing Tools were launched to provide a secure email-based method for girls of all ages to market their cookies to friends and family. These tools allow girls to create a contact list of friends and family to notify them that they are conducting a cookie sale. Those contacts can
then submit an online order to the girl. Orders accepted through the email application are fulfilled in person; no funds change hands online.
The online tools are available to girls during the Troop sale dates that have been set in your Council Preferences. If you have not set your Council Preferences (including your correct sale dates and your sales price per box), or if your Council name in Snap does not exactly match your Council name in the ABC Smart Cookies site, the tools will not work.
Online Cookie Markeing To send e-cards to friends and family, Troop girls must log in to the Cookie Zone via the ABC Smart Cookies website at www.abcsmartcookies.com and click on the Online Cookie Marketing Tab. My Contacts To create a contact list, she clicks on the My Contacts tab and enters contact information, including email address for all of her contacts.
Send an E-card To send an e-card, she clicks on the Send An E-card tab. She will select the desired card and the friend or family member to whom the card will be sent. She can send any number of cards and can send multiple cards to one contact. She will be able to view all cards sent by clicking on the View E-Cards sent tab. Once the e-card has been sent, the girl’s contact (s) will receive an email with the request to buy cookies. If he/she is going to place on order, he/she will click on the “Buy Some Now!” link and an Online Order Card will pop-up. The order card must be completed and submitted. Once the order has been accepted by the girl, the contact will receive another email asking for confirmation of the order. Once the order has been confirmed, it will show as confirmed on the girl’s View Orders tab and then she can update her progress in Catch Goals. Submitting Online Orders When the Order Card is due, the girl will print out her online orders from Catch Goals. She clicks on the View Orders Tab and selects Run Order Card Report. She can print the form and add it to her paper order card, or she can turn it in directly to her Troop Leader. Note: These cookie orders are then treated the same way as orders on the Traditional Order Card in terms of delivery and payment.
Facebook In addition to the e-cards that are available, girls 13 and over can use Facebook to market cookies. The Facebook application allows girls to notify Facebook friends to let them know that she is conducting a cookie sale and allows those friends to submit an online order card. Orders accepted through Facebook are fulfilled in person, no funds change hands online.
My Girl Scout Cookie Connector To begin, the girl follows a link from Catch Goals to Facebook and then logs into her Facebook account. She must accept the application, My Girl Scout Cookie Connector, and load it on to her page. Once the application is loaded, her personal and Troop Goals are imported from Snap. The Girl has the option of adding her progress meter (thermometer) onto her Profile page. From the My Goals tab, she can create a Sales Activity plan, set Personal Learning Goals and describe her Advocacy.
Send Gifts In order to send the online order request, the girl must send gifts to her friends from the My Friends tab. She selects a gift and selects the friends to whom it will be sent. For security purposes, gifts can only be sent to a girl’s Friends or to people for whom she has a valid email address. When she clicks send, a dialogue box opens which allows her to add a personalized message if desired. She clicks Send again and the Gift is sent. Accepting Gifts Once the gift has been sent, the friend will see notification on his/her page that he/she has a gift. Once the gift is accepted, the girl’s personal message, advocacy and information about her sale will appear and the friends is directed to an online order card. The friend can add the gift to his/her Feed Wall, increasing visibility of the sale. Online Order After the friend has accepted the gift and filled out the online order card, he/she will be prompted to confirm the order before it is sent back to the girl’s Catch Goals account. Confirmed orders will show up in the friend’s Feed Wall and the girl’s Catch Goals account. From her Catch Goals account, Girl must accept each order for it to be valid and included on her final tally. She will see all contact information from the customer, and she can decline the order if, for example, it is from an unknown person. Catch Goals and Facebook synchronize their progress meters, so Girl can update sale information in either place. As she passes various milestones, new badges are unlocked in Facebook. Submitting Online Orders When the Order Card is due, the Girl will print out her online orders from Catch Goals. She clicks on the View Orders Tab and selects Run Order Card Report. She can print the form and add it to her paper order card, or she can turn it in directly to her Troop Leader. Note: These cookie orders are then treated the same way as orders on the Traditional Order Card in terms of delivery and payment. Safety Note: Only friends of the Girl have the ability to load the application. This prevents people unknown to the girl from submitting orders. We have provided a link to GSUSA’s Cookie Program Activity Guide, where a link to “411 on Internet Safety” and the “Internet Safety Pledge”. can be seen. These documents facilitate girls learning how to use online tools responsibly.
