Tip:Finding a lens if you know the lens code

There is a quick method to choosing the lens if you do happen to know the code.  For example if the lens code is XOSV then you can put /XOSV in the filter  and you will be taken directly to that lens.  Note, it is important that you put the / in to indicate that it is a filter on the lenscode only.

Frame Pricelists for Empty frame and for Glazed frame

It turns out that it is often the case that a frame is sold at a different price when it is sold on its own or glazed.

In order to allow for this, you can now set a pricelist in the settings for empty frame and for selling the frame in an Rx order.

It is under pricing / default pricelists.

Kalahari - Exact tools

When Kalahari cannot find a suitable tool to use then an error is given.  It can be that the lab can cut tools for the job. An update has been made so that the job can be accepted without an error in these circumstances and the lab will cut the Exact tool.  This is done by clicking on the icon (cutter) alongside the tool selection box on the results screen.

Packages - different lenses right and left

Up until now, Annapurna has required that the same lens has to be in both eyes for a package to be applied but now Annapurna has been updated so that if a different lenses are chosen for right and left eyes AND both fall within the package rules then it will price the job as the average of the two eyes.

So is the package is £10.00 for right eye and £14.00 for the left eye then the package price will be £12.00.

This typically happens when a stock lens is used for one eye and a surfaced lens for the other eye.

Hiding Package Prices

Packages are priced as a normal order and then a discount is applied to take the price to the needed total price for the package. This works well but the Labman system used to not print the individual lines prices on a package. Some labs wish to continue with this so a new option has been added into

 Settings / Pricing / Hide Package Prices.

If  this is set then ALL the prices on the lines that make up the order are hidden - this will include any extras added to the order eg Prism.

Package - Similar lenses to have the same price

It can be frustrating to have to set the price individually for different transitions colours in the package and also if the lens has different codes for different corridor lengths.

In the lens package, you can now set a lens id - it can be whatever you want it to be, a number or a short text.  When you set an existing lens to a lens id then it will reset the prices of that lens to be the same as the other lenses with that id.  When you change the price of the lens then all the other lenses with the same id will also be changed.

Supplier Stock Discounts

Annapurna has by default a standard discount for the major suppliers eg Essilor is set to discount group 51, Seiko to discount group 52.  

If you wish to have a separate discount for stock and rx lenses then there is now a quick way to enable this.

Firstly the stock discount will be the current discount + 100, so for Essilor will be 151. Create this in the discount matrix module.

Now in the prces by design when the Apply Defaults link is clicked then the description is checked. If the description has " STOCK" or "(ST)" in it then the stock discount is applied to the price record otherwise the rx discount is applied.

Update 14th November.
The addition of 100 to the discount can be specified in the Settings  / Discount section. If this behaviour is not wanted then the addition can be set to 0. If the addition means that it will fall into a discount id currently in use then a different addition can be set.
