An earlier post explained how to set up different accounts with the supplier for different customers. If this is not implemented then it is possible to have different accounts with the supplier based on the order type. If different accounts are set by customer then this step cannot be done and it is necessary to use the order type marker in the job reference. This is explained at the end of this note.
The aim is to have different accounts for different order types so that the supplier will sort the orders into different boxes on delivery. The accounts are entered in the account field with : as the separator
eg 123456:123457. There needs to be matching passwords for each account also separated with :
There have been different requests so the rules for setting the accounts is more complicated than it needs to be but these are the rules.
2 accounts
123456:123457
The first account is for Uncut and Remote edge orders, the second is for glazed. The supplier is expected to have done the remote edging.
3 accounts
123456:123457:123458
The first account is for diameter, the second is for precal(shape), the third is for traced orders. This is really for ease of organising the work flow on receipt.
4 accounts
123456:123457:123457:123458
The first account is for uncuts, the second for glazed, the third is not used and the fourth is for remote edging. It is allowed to have the account numbers repeated so if remote edging orders is to take place in the lab rather than at the supplier then it can be set to the same account so
123456:123457:123457:123457 will put uncuts on one account and all others on the other account.
To add order type marker into the reference sent to the supplier, please change the reference format in the supplier configuration to {uncut}{order}. The {uncut} will be replace with @ for Uncut orders and ~ for remote edge order. Glazed orders will remain as is. The reference including the order type marker will be printed on the lens label. If Code 39 barcode is used then these defaults can be replaced with a character from the Code 39 font by settings under Web Ordering.
