The Specials module is a great tool to use on your osCommerce CRE Loaded site for selling your dropship products.  The difference between a product marked as Specials and a product marked as Featured is that the Specials will be displayed on your site, often on the main page, with the old price and your new price.  The products will be displayed in the "Specials" info-box section on your store.

It is very easy to set products as Special.

1- Log into your osCommerce CRE Loaded store's main Admin menu
2- Go to the menu for Categories/Products
3- Select the link under Categories/Products called "Specials"  (Navigating the admin menu is very easy.  For example, you control products marked as Specials through the main link called "Specials".  You just need to learn which main Menu's are used for which functions.  For example, the Categories/Products menu controls most of the main functions for modules that use the product data and apply it to different modules on your pages.
4- From the Specials link you will be taken to the Specials main menu.  There will be no product data here if this is the first time you have added a product as a Special. 
5- From the Specials menu, select the "new product" button.
6- Use the "Product:" drop down menu to select the product that you want to mark as a special.
7- Use the "Special Price:" to set the new price for your special
8-      Use the "Expiry Date:" if you want the special for that product to end at a certain date.

Specials Notes:
---You can enter a percentage to deduct in the Specials Price field, for example: 20%
---If you enter a new price, the decimal separator must be a '.' (decimal-point), example: 49.99
---Leave the expiry date empty for no expiration

9- When you are done with your settings, use the "insert" button to add the product as a Special.

When you view the Specials main menu page, which lists all products on Special, you will see all products listed that you have added with this module.

Products- Shows the product names that have been added to the specials
Products Price- This shows the old price marked out in black and the new "Special Price" in red

Status- The green circle means it is active as a Special.  The red circle means that the product is not active as a Special.  You can turn the Special setting for a product off by selecting the circle under status so the red circle is applied.

NOTE: You might have several products with a green circle, but they might not appear on the site's Specials section.  The green circle means the status to set the product as a Special is active; however, if the actual "status" of the product is "inactive" by the supplier or the product is out of stock, your Inventory Source daily updates would have kept the product from appearing on your site.  The next day the product is active or back in stock, then with the circle set to green, the product will appear in the Specials section.

Action-  This will allow you to Edit or Delete a product from the Specials menu.  It will not delete the product from the store, this is done from the main Categories/Products menu.
