There has been some confusion over the Inhouse button so this is to explain the thinking.
.
The ordering of the lenses can be done via the order entry operator or by the lens ordering department.
If ordering is by the lens ordering department then this note does not apply.
If a lab is set up for the order entry operator to set the ordering route for the lenses then there are two buttons on order entry.
Place Order
Inhouse.
At the end of order entry, "Place Order" adds the order into Annapurna and then takes the operator into the screen to order the lens.
The "Inhouse" button also places the order but does not take the operator into the lens ordering screen. This will be used when there are no lenses to order.
If the lens used are to be taken from the lab's own inventory then the lenses need to be ordered from inventory via the "Place Order" button.
In the Place Order screen, there are 3 options.
Inhouse
Order Rx
Order Finished
Order Rx is to order the lens via the “Raptor” routine.
Order Finished is to order the lens via the Orinoco program.
Inhouse is used if neither of the external ordering routes are required. This will be the route if the operator has gone into this screen when do not wish to actually order the lenses also. This is also used if a redo on an order is being made and do not wish to order lenses. The operator should have pressed "InHouse" on the previous screen but having the button here still allows the order to continue without placing an order.
If Inhouse is pressed AND the lens is to be taken from the lab's own finished lens inventory then this will allocate the finished lens. The lens will only be deducted if the option to deduct at entry is selected.
In summary, on this screen.
Order Rx or Order Finished are pressed if the lenses are to be ordered from external supplier.
Inhouse is pressed if no lenses are to be ordered from external supplier and this includes picking finished lens stock from the inhouse inventory.
