Sometimes the program takes some time(minutes) to start up. If the program starts within a few seconds on other PCs then it indicates a problem on that PC. Here is a list of things to check.
a) Run the program on its own and check the resources eg there is sufficient memory.
b) Make sure Anti-virus is not checking the program - the server Anti-virus should have checked the program when it was installed.
c) Make sure the network is set as "work", not as "public". Public networks have higher security checking and has been found to slow up starting the programs.
Compare settings with a PC that starts in a normal time.

Sunglass Packages with Solid and Gradient Tints
A Sunglass package will include tint free of charge in the package price. You can specify the tints that are free of charge in the package settings. Any tint that is not in this list is charged.
If the package has been extended to include Gradient tints at an additional price then this can be achieved by not setting the gradient tint in the list of allowable tints BUT set a pricelist for treatments in the package. Next, assign the gradient tint price in the package treatment pricelist as the additional charge. Now the gradient tint will be priced as the addition.
In Summary
Tints in the sunglass packages are priced as follows.
Specified Tints - included in the package price
Priced Tints - these have a special price set in the package treatment price list
Other Tints - prices as normal

Frames on Approval
It is now possible to have Wholesale Frame orders to be sent out on Approval.
In Settings / Despatch there is a setting to indicate this is operated at the lab.
When a wholesale frame order is completed then the operator is asked for the number of days for approval. The default is 0 which means no approval.
The sent date in Annapurna will then be set to today plus the number of days on Approval. (This may affect performance reports) but it means that if the frames are not returned then the jobs will be automatically invoiced on the next run after the approval date has expired.
If the frames are approved then the order will have to be "undespatched" and then the order is cancelled. If only some frames are returned then the order will be amended and resent with only the items actually sold on it.
