Customer Import / Export in Annapurna and connection to Solenzara

Changes have been made in this area. 

There is a new screen Customer Transfer to manage this.

Pressing Export in Annapurna Customer will bring up the new screen. You can choose which fields to export so you can update just the fields as required.

Pressing Import in Annapurna Customer will bring up the new screen and you will be able to select the file to import and set an account as the base account for creating new customers. The titles of the columns need to be the same as indicated on the export.

When the Solenzara password, online catalogues are changed or the name and address in Annapurna  then this is written to a Solenzara synchronisation log.  If the Annapurna user has the appropriate access then the customer transfer form is called to show the pending updates and to allow the changes to be sent to Solenzara.  Note, Annapurna is now the master  of the data so changes made in Solenzara will be overwritten from Annapurna.

If there are pending changes to Solenzara then these are sent when the customer screen is closed.

For lenses, the combinations are:

Source. Material, Style, Colour, Design.

The CSV file generated will list all the combinations.

Column F will be the discount group as created in the discounts screen.

Using filters, the discount group can be applied to all the rows, for example, it might be based on transitions colours, lens design or source.

This is then saved.
