Bumper Edition for papers (holiday periods)

This is for Newsagencies Only

Newspapers will sometimes produce a bumper edition for a holiday period, meaning the newspaper will only produce one issue in that period. This helps adjust the billing of customer delivery orders and putaways for that period so you don't need to update the orders or newspapers themselves.

This does not and cannot affect the papers selling over the counter in the POS screen. If the price of the paper needs to be changed for the period for counter sales, you can change it on the paper itself, and change it back after the bumper period.
