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.

Using Kalahari for Annapurna Estimate screen.

If the lab is configured to use Annapurna and the lens can be manufactured in own lab using Kalahari then it is possible to have Kalahari called from the estimate screen in Annapurna order entry.

There is a setting needed to enable this; this is Job Entry / Checks / Estimate Subs via Kalahari.

This will bring up the Kalahari icon in the bottom right. Clicking this will make a Kalahari calculation.

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.
