Features Discount

 

Features Discount.

It is possible to assign discounts to lenses, treatments, extras and frames based on features,  This is turned on by a setting under Discounts: “Discount groups by Features”.

Setting up.

If this is set then a label “Groups by Lens Features” is shown on the discounts screen.  If this is clicked then it opens up a CSV file with the different combinations.

For lenses, the combinations are:

Source. Material, Style, Colour, Design.

For treatments, there are different combination based on the treatment type.

For extras, there are different combinations for glazing types.

For frames, there are different combinations based on brand.

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.

Applying. 

To apply the features to the pricing records, you need to go into the update prices screen and then exit.  On the exit, the features are checked against the price record.

Using.

The customer record can then be set to have bespoke discounts by each of the discount groups.

 

 

QR code in layouts.

 It now possible to specify data item to be printed as a QR code as well as a 1D barcode. 

In the layout manager, there is a new item in the dropdown to indicate how to print an item for QR barcode.

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.
