Pay in Advance Customers in Annapurna

There is a new setting to identify customers as pay in advance.  For these customers when an order is placed, it is not added to the order database but placed in the waiting area for review and an email sent to the finance department.  Operators who have the correct privileges can then complete the order when the payment is made.

The setting is in Job Entry/ Customer Credit Action / Advance Payment / Customer Status Codes.

You enter the one character code of the status code that requires advance payment. If there is more than one then enter all the one character codes.

The setting to allow an operator to place the order is under Options / Allow Credit Limit Exceeded.

The email address to send to is held under Lab Name / WebService / Credit Control Email.

Annapurna UV included in Supplier's coating.

It can be that the supplier has UV integrated into their coatings so it is not appropriate to order a UV filter on its own.  In Annapurna, there is still the wish to sell UV as an additional option as that is how customers are used to ordering.

In the local mapping there is now an option using &.

If there is:

UV code&Coating code=Supplier coating code+Supplier UV code 

then the UV & Coating codes are converted  to the Supplier coating and Supplier UV code.

For example,

UV&HC=HCUV+

If UV and HC are on the order then this would send to the supplier a coating code of HCUV and no UV.
