In TapGoods PRO, every order must include Order Dates—these define when items are needed and help the system check availability. Order Dates are a required step during the order creation process and must be entered before the order can be saved.
If Order Dates are missing, the system will display an error and prevent the order from being created. This article walks through how to add your Order Dates and complete the order setup efficiently.

Additionally, users have the option to add more dates and times with instructions for the order in this section. Users can…
-
Add Off-Shelf Time: By checking this box, business owners can reserve items in inventory before an event begins or after it has ended. This is useful for business owners who need to set up a client’s event early or break down later, but do not want to charge for hours outside of the event.
-
Add Delivery Times: By checking this box, business owners can set a specific time range that items will be delivered and picked up from clients. Business owners can set a specific Pick Up and Drop Off time frame or select No Delivery Preference Time by clicking the drop-down arrow.
-
Add a Flip Time: By checking this box, business owners can set a flip time during an event; this is useful for clients who want inventory items moved from one location to another during an event. Business owners can use this feature to set a specific date and time and write notes in the text box regarding the order. Notes that are written in this text box will appear on operations documents; these notes will NOT be customer facing.
-
Add a Set By Time: By checking this box, business owners that offer set-up services to clients can set a specific time by which the event needs to be set.
**Note: In the event that Order Start, Off Shelf, and Delivery Time are all being used on an order, inventory availability will be determined by the earliest date. For example, if the dates for each are…
- Order Start: 10/31
- Delivery: 10/29
- Off Shelf: 10/25
The inventory reserved for this order will become unavailable on 10/25. **
