Bug fixes to 14.09

Report 19 - added new button to reassign costs - explanation to follow.
Report 18 - distribution of WIP. Now shows orders in EDI / Drafts.  Clicking on daily totals shows all the orders entered on that date.
Also distribution of WIP has a checkbox to show only watched jobs - useful for locating all the watched jobs.
Browser now has a chain filter.
Report 13 - Quick sent list - had stopped working for individual customer, now restored.
Status viewer - overdue orders - can filter by chain.
Frame Data - Allow cost price to be set, also allow cost OPC and supplier to be used on export / import csv files.
Package costs - there was a bug in the computation of cost price on the voucher line. There should not be a cost but one was being set.
Frame Inventory - updating level when there was only one item did not work.
Order Entry - if using filter then pressing enter will simulate pressing the look button.

EDI updates

The EDI selection screen has been updated so that it can be filtered by order type. This is mainly so that Send in frames can be handled separately but it is also useful for processing uncut orders via a different route if the lab works in that way.

It is also to select by Chain.  This allows specific operators to work on orders for chains and allows others to work on independents. Again this can fit with how the lab operates.

Trayless for Supply Frame

If the frame is being supplied then it may be considered wasteful to take a tray and hold it while waiting for lenses to be supplied. This can be wasteful in terms of space and can reduce the number of trays needed.

There is now a setting which will allow order entry to not require a tray to be entered if the orders is a glazed order and the frame is to be supplied. Frames sent in will still require a tray.

For stock finished and surfaced lenses, a print out is produced as now so that lenses can be picked or directed to the surfacing department.

When the lenses are ready, whether it is from in-house or the lenses have arrived then there is a new option on the Production Menu panel - Pick Frame.

The job number is entered.  It is expected that the job number will be placed on the lens packet for lenses bought in.  For in-house, the job number can be taken from the printout.

The details are shown and it is possible to set to confirm the correct lenses have been delivered.

The tray number is entered and the job is updated with this tray number. If there is an OMA file in the glazing folder under the job number then this is renamed to the tray number.OMA so making the job available for the glazing machines.

Essilor Promotion

Another promotion.

For this one, Essilor are providing us a list of orders that will get the promotion price.  This means that Annapurna can be updated via a new program.

Essilor no longer require that the full-price is sent first and the promotion is sent afterwards. This means that it is not necessary to enter version 1 or 2. Although it is not needed, it may be helpful so this is retained. The version number box for the Q voucher codes will only appear from Annapurna version 304 onwards.

When Essilor receive the second order with the same voucher code then they will reset the price on the first or second order received and pass this back in a file for downloading into the new program..


The new program is downloadaded here:Essilor_voucher_price.exe


Documentation on the program is here:September 2015 Promotion-2.pdf
