Print Shop Order Type

In the Rush and Regular Jobs panel:

1.        In the Estimated Completion Time/Time ahead of regular job section: Change the hour/days values as needed or Regular Jobs and Rush Jobs. For instance, you can define the time to process a regular job 3 days/72 hours and a rush job 1 day/24 hours.

Note: If you have selected the option Rush job delivery date is based on the regular job delivery date on the Site Settings | Basic Settings tab (for information see Calculate rush jobs) the rush order due time will be calculated as time off of the regular order time (i.e., a 24 hour value will mean that the rush order will be due 24 hours before the regular (i.e., non-rush) job delivery date).

If a regular job takes 8 days, a 3 day rush job would mean the job is due on day 5 (8-3) from the day the order is placed, not on day 3.

The rush delivery date is 3 days ahead of the regular delivery date, not 3 days from when the order is placed.

Note: Products can be assigned a turnaround time as well. When a buyer places an order, the product turnaround time will be used unless it is sooner than the Print Shop turnaround. In those cases, the Print Shop turnaround time will be used.

2.        In the Fee section: Assign the extra charge associated with an order type such as rush job. For instance, you might enter a flat fee value of $10 for processing a rush job and/or a surcharge of 10% based on the cost of the order.

3.        Production is only done during hours of operation: This option adjusts due dates based on the hours of operation set for the Print Shop (i.e., when production will be taking place).

Important Note: If you select the Production is only done during hours of operation option, be sure to select Hours rather than Days in the Est. Completion Time/Time ahead of regular job (in step 1. above).
-- Selecting the Days option for the will base the production time and completion date on calendar days, regardless of the Print Shop's policy to produce jobs only during work hours.
-- Selecting the Hours option, however, will calculate the production time based on the Print Shop's hours of operation (accounting for weekends, holidays, and hours the shop is closed).
