That is the easy way to do it for sure, and they have some nice software to help with that. If it's offset against tuition (which is they way most Scrip-using organizations work) it's really easy to get people to use the software and wait for orders. We don't work that way. the closest to personal you can get is specifying for a particular classroom. I tried and gave up on the software and use the marvelous excel worksheet I inherited and then order manually. I keep a $10,000 inventory and run a store weekly. My maximum turnaround is 9 days, but it's more like 2 for most orders and instant for store customers (for the school). But I took profits from $5,000 to $15,000-$25,000 per year, so that is obviously what we need. (turnaround was 2-3 weeks before). But we are weird and different.
