Release Notes: Annapurna Version 405.6

The below outlines the key updates within Annapurna version 405.6. Other minor bug fixes have been made along with these.

Upload Customer to Solenzara
A new permission setting has been introduced that allows non‑Admin users to upload customers from Annapurna to Solenzara. Previously, this action was restricted to Admin users only. A guide for this can be seen here.

Report 37
The “end of production” status is no longer considered when evaluating the Waiting for Frame checkbox on an order. This resolves conflicts caused by the previous logic.

Copy Order
Copying an order will no longer retain the case assigned to the original job. The copied order now starts with the correct default case.

Frame Codes for Out of Stock
Frame codes entered in lowercase were being treated as in‑stock. All frame codes are now automatically converted to uppercase to ensure accurate stock status.

Completing Jobs
A fix has been applied to prevent the previously completed job from appearing on the completion screen.

Allow Users to Upload Customers to Solenzara

Annapurna now has a new user setting to allow the upload of customers to Solenzara. Before this update only Admin user could do this.

To enable this for a user:

• Go to Settings → Users
• Select the user from the list on the left
• Click on the Customer tab
• Tick the Allow Customer Upload checkbox

• Click Update to save the change

Internal copy

It is now possible to create an internal copy of an order. An internal copy copies the order but the customer assigned to the new order is the Annapurna lab.  This can be useful if wish to copy an order without disrupting the customer.

There is a setting to configure this and the account to use in settings under Browser.

Windows 11 SmartApp.

New Windows 11 can have SmartApp enabled. This restricts Windows to running Microsoft approved software.

It was disabled by default earlier.   

To disable SmartApp then follow these instructions.

1. Open Start → Settings

2. Go to Privacy & Security
3. Select Windows Security
4. Click App & browser control
5. Open Smart App Control settings
6. Switch Smart App Control to Off

Annapurna Orders on hold.

It is now possible to view just the orders on hold for a customer.

In Browse orders, when selecting a customer a new option will appear under completed.

If On Hold is ticked then this takes precedence over the other options and only orders that are in drafts/on hold will be shown.

Customer Contract or Purchase Order Reference to appear on an invoice in Annapurna.

Print a contract number or purchase order reference  on the invoice.

There is a field in the customer record on the basic tab called Contract.

This should be entered with the value to appear on the invoice.

The contents can be added to the invoice layout by locating the field in the list of available fields.
