Pick Bin / Overstock bin for lenses

Finished lenses inventory has been updated so that the stock can be arranged in 2 bins.
Pick stock is the stock in the bin to be picked from.
Overstock is the stock in a location where bulk items for the product are held.

When an order is entered then the default is to pick from the pick bin but if there are insufficient then the pick is from the overstock bin. 

It is also possible to set up a process to replenish the pick stock from the overstock overnight.

Specifying Glazing OMA tags by frame / lens.

There is a new feature where the OMA tags can be set for a job based on frame, frame brand, lens or lens index, frame type and power.

From the lens data screen, there is a More button in the bottom right. Click this and select Frame/Lens Glazing Settings.

This will bring up a CSV.  The first columns are to define the rules and the columns after the tags define the OMA tags to be set in the glazing file. Note this applies to both in house glazing and remote edge.

The columns are 

  • FrameID - this can be a specific  frame code or General to apply to all frames. It is also possible to put in a frame brand code.
  • Type - this is the Annapurna frame type as shown in order entry frame type list.
  • Lens ID - these is to allow different values for different Index - If it is blank then it  applies to all indexes.
  • Min Power, Max Power - this defines the range to be applied,  you may wish to set different bevel for minus / plus powers.
  • Tags >   needed to indicate where tags start
  • The next set of columns identify which tags are to be placed in the OMA file. If an entry is not blank then it will be inserted into the OMA file.  The tag CORR is used to increase the radii by the specified value.



CAUTION.  When the option is first taken then a sample file is shown. If this file is altered then it will be saved and applied thereafter.
