Annapurna source rules update to route remote edge orders to a different supplier.

 Annapurna can now route orders that have a trace file connected to the order to a different supplier in the source rules.

In the Source rules excel sheet, please set the title on column J to "with trace" and the row for the lens enter the supplier code.  If it is a private community supplier then include the trailing *.


The supplier configuration determines whether the lenses can be ordered as remote edged or as an uncut.

Annapurna View Orders Search optons in the reference field

 The reference field in View Orders can be used in two special ways for searching.


If the reference entered is surrounded by " , for example,  "Varilux" then Annapurna will only show orders with Varilux in the order data.


If the reference entered is surrounded by ', for example, 'Edged' then Annapurna will only show orders with Edged in the order comments.


The grey cirle can also be used to search for orders with certain attributes. The attributes are set on an order to indicate that the order has a certain feature for example, it has been rejected.

Large Wholesale Lens Order not taken from local inventory

 It is possible to enter an order into Annapurna that does not take stock from local inventory but instead can be directed to a lens supplier.


In settings: /Inventory tick "Allow Direct Purchase".  If this requirement is an occasional need then it may be better to set this on demand so that this in not accidentally set when not needed.


When an order is entered then at the bottom of the wholesale area there is a tick box 'Deduct Stock'. This needs to be un-ticked for this order.


When the order has been placed, go to Lens Inventory and the reorder tab.  In the top right, there is a red baggage con. Click that and you will be asked for a job number. Enter the job number and the lenses on the order that are linked to the selected supplier will be added into the proposed purchase order.  Click on "Create PO" to transfer the proposed purchase order into a purchase order which is then sent via the normal method.

Orders in draft and wait.

 It is now possible to process these orders directly from the view orders screen rather than via the drafts or wait screens.

This is useful if the customer rings up to discuss their orders.
