Processing EDI orders in Annapurna

Due to the increasing number of EDI orders, it is now common for two people to process these. In order to stop operators from picking up the same order, the list can now be filtered by account number so operator A can focus on certain accounts and operator B on others.  However, it is still possible to see all the orders.

Do remember that EDI orders that do not need to be assigned to a tray can be processed automatically without any intervention. This is done by clicking on the pencil in the top right corner and selecting the necessary action (Process or Print).

Solenzara and Macros

Annapurna supports via the Kathmandu import, different macro files for different suppliers. 
If Solenzara is used for web ordering into Annapurna then there is a problem as Solenzara only supports one macro.  

So there is an update to Solenzara to support multiple macros and to the catalogue editor to allow the different macro files to be uploaded from Annapurna to the web.

Using the Keyboard in Order Entry

A new feature has just been added so that pressing <CTRL> key and <ENTER> key together will act as the Place Order button.  Means less use of the mouse for those who prefer to discard the mouse in order entry.  <ENTER> key still moves to the next question.

Library Shapes with VCADevice

VCADevice has had some improvements to allow shapes to be better managed.

There are now two shape sources,  jobs or traces (for library traces) and shapes in either source can be edited and there is also a print function if a label for the job / trace is required.  Drill data can now be added manually and single eye traces can be copied from Left to Right or vice versa. 

Annapurna frames can be linked to a trace shape.

MEI edger with TBA has now been successfully connected with VCADevice program.

Charging for Freeform

There is a subtle change in 2.13

Previously there is a fixed code ICODE which is applied to all freeform products by default. You can set this in the lens pricing for a design.  When a design is selected then the "design logo" at the top can be pressed to indicate the appropriate freeform charge for that design.

In 2.13, it is now possible to use the settings editor to amend the default freeform product and it can be set to nothing so the charge is not applied automatically.

If ICODE or any other code is to be charged for certain designs then firstly the charge needs to be set up as an Extra - Lens charge in the commercial section and then it is applied to the design as described in the first paragraph.

Optifog

There has been some uncertainty over how to get pricing for Optifog. 

This is how the software has been designed.

We need to associate Optifog with Crizal UV (E276) with the Crizal Forte UV (E272) 

and Optifog Sun UV (E247) with Crizal Sun UV (E138)

This is done in Commercial / Treatments and select the Optifog - E276 - and in the box Enhancement to treatment code enter E272. Repeat for the Sun.

Now we need to put prices against the optifog. So select Optifog with Crizal UV and the appropriate price list and type in prices as 4.45 NETT

for the Optifog Sun type in prices as 5.85 NETT

When an order is placed, select the coating as Optifog and software will then "add in" the Forte or Sun as required and price accordingly.
