SF6 has some restrictions.
The lens and coating codes are restricted to 6 characters. If you use longer code then the catalogue creation will create a TEMPORARY code. In the OECodes data file that is part of the catalogue then the temporary and the lab code are shown. The receiving lab should change their codes back to the lab code using this table. Any orders sent using the temporary code will not be understood by the lab.
The tints are restricted to 3 character codes.
The descriptions are restricted to 40 characters. Anything longer than this will be truncated. Often the colour such as Brown or Green get cut off so products have the same descriptions. It can be sometimes be useful to have a different catalogue for online where shorter descriptions can be saved. This can be down in the "Deploy data to the web" by creating a new catalogue (eg online) and then amending descriptions, removing items that are not wished for and generally making it easier for an external user to find their way around.
