There are a couple of features which allow orders where the minimum size uncut is calculated to be just above a catalogue diameter.
For finished lenses there is a setting in Job Entry / Finished Lens Diameter / Still use finished if MSU exceeds diameter by.
If this is set to 1 then diameters up to 71mm will still pick a 70mm finished lens.
For Rx lenses, there is a setting Calculation / Show Squeeze in. This will enable a link on the order entry screen "Squeeze". If this is clicked then the glazing allowance is reduced to 0.1mm.
In addition, if the PD is wished to be changed to make the lens fit, then there is ? by the PD. If this is clicked then a table will be shown. This will indicate the diameter calculated for different PDs and whether it is acceptable according to standards.

Running reports automatically
Some reports such as Distribution of WIP can be set to be run automatically.
To do this, log in as an admin user and go to the report. Right click on the report and see if there is an option "Save Report Settings". If there is then this can be run automatically.
Make the selections as needed and then select "Save Report Settings".
If the report that you wish does not have the "Save Report Settings" then please inform and the feasibility of adding this report will be looked into
In order to run the reports then Annapurna is run with parameter AUTOREPORTS. It would typically be added as an option into Santiago so that it is run at a regular time every day.

Lifestyle
There is a need sometimes for questions to be gathered which in turn are used to calculate a design code. These questions are a questionairre with multiple choice answers.
There is a new field in the technical data for Lifestyle, this is filled with a new for the lifestyle.
There needs to be a CSV file with the same name placed in the files folder. This CSV file has rows to cover each combination of the answers. The answers are placed in columns in the same sequence and the selected designed code is placed in the column with the title "Answer".
Annapurna will look at the answers provided and select the appropriate design code for the answers provided. This can then be passed to the freeform engine via Kalahari or to supplier of the lenses.

There is also the facility to save the drill hole information which can then be loaded into the drill holes for another frame.

Multiple Accounts with a Lens Supplier.
Sometimes an independent lab will have multiple accounts with a lens supplier. This is often the case when the lens supplier wants to record rewards to the lab customer.
The purchasing configuration tab does allow for multiple accounts and passwords to be entered, separated with a ':'.
There is a problem in that the lab need to remember which supplier account is linked to their lab account.
This is solved by using the supplier tab in the customer update screen.
This lists the lens suppliers that have multiple accounts. If there are no suppliers with multiple accounts then no lens suppliers are listed. To connect a lens supplier then select on the lens supplier and the accounts are shown.

If the setting "Automatic Add to Purchasing" has been made then when the lens supplier is chosen at the end of order entry, the selection will look at the customer record and choose the matching account for the lab supplier.
This will mean that order entry in automatic mode can process and in manual mode there is no need to try to match customer account and lens supplier account.

Pricing - Allow Unpriced
The default behaviour for when there is no price in order entry is to create a price line with zero price and zero discount.This is so that a manual price can be entered for the lens. This is typically used when the lab will be applying price based on the charge made to the lab by the lens price.
If Allow Unpriced at order entry is ticked then the order is accepted with the zero price for pricing to be updated when the lens is delivered from the supplier.
If the pricing is set up so that if there is no price then the product is not available then the price line with zero price and zero discount should not be created. This is done by making the Setting Pricing / Report error if no price should be set. In these circumstances the operator is informed that there is no price.

Using Daily Email of Status to Customers.
Using Daily Email of Status to Customers.
There is a program which is automatically included in Santiago Annapurna_email which will email customers a daily status email. It can be run as a standalone if needed.
To include a customer in this, go to the customer record and in the Group tab, tick Send Email in the second column in the additional options at the bottom. Update the record. The email address also needs to be entered on the Basic tab.
The emails are sent as HTML and there is a HTML template that can be configured.
Go to Settings / Email. You will need to enter a HTML editor (there are many on the internet) and click on Email Status. If the template does not exist then you will be asked to download.

Unpriced Lenses - how to handle?
When an order is entered an a price is not found for a lens then Annapurna provided two choices depending on how the lab wishes to proceed.
The lab has set up the lens for the purpose of ordering and will charge to the customer whatever they are charged. In this case, it may be easier on time not to set a price at order entry but allow the lens to be entered with a zero price which can be updated at the despatch point or when the lenses are received.
The lab has a policy of setting up all the valid prices so a zero price can indicate that this is not a permitted lens. In this case, the order should not be accepted.
The action is controlled by the setting Price / Report Error if no lens price. For option 2 above then this should be set.

Reordering lenses from Supplier.
If there is a need to reorder lenses from the supplier then this can be done from the ordering grabber screen.
This can be done from reject screen or the ordering screen as needed. It is expected that if lenses needed to be reordered then a reject will be recorded so that reasons for reordering can be monitored.
From the ordering screen.
Note that this only works if Automatic Add to Ordering is configured in settings.
When the order / tray is entered then a warning is given that the lens is on order. Click on the view order link and then select Amend Order. Click on Place Order. In the next screen - tick Reorder Lenses at the top and select supplier. If only one lens is to be reordered then set the good lens as Inhouse. The order is then added to the queue.
From the Reject Screen.
After the reject is booked then select Amend Order then proceed as above.

Second Returns
When an order is returned a new order is created with same reference but a suffix (+) to indicate a return. Another return cannot be made against the original order. Similarly a second credit is not allowed. If the order is returned again then the return needs to be booked against the first return.
There was a problem with this process in that if the first return was converted into a wholesale order for example for a frame repair and then second return was returned for lens reasons then the second return is made against the wholesale order.
In order to overcome this there is now the option on a second return to base the return on the original order or on the first return.

Saving Deleted EDI Orders as a Cancelled Order.
When orders are received by EDI, it may not be possible to process the order. Currently the EDI order is deleted and no record is kept. Sometimes this can cause problems as someone else from the customer can call for progress update.
In order to keep a record then the EDI order can be converted into a cancelled order.
This is turned on via a new setting.
Job Entry / EDI / Deleting / Save Deleted file as cancelled order.
This will create a cancelled order on the system with the reference supplied.
