Advanced Search in Browser

Currently in Browser if a reference is entered as
"reference" 
then the search is made for orders where the reference is part of the data entered on the order.

There are 2 new search methods.

'reference'

This will search the comments for the reference.

"Attribute=x"

Attribute is a single character code then is used by Annapurna to speed up looking orders with certain characteristic eg Metal Frame. The list of current attribute codes can be found in View Job Details. There is a gray circle in top right of the job details and pressing this will show the attribute codes and whether present on the order.

Order Entry 'accidentally' changing customer.

Sometimes it is reported that the customer has been changed by the software. It usually transpires that the operator has done the change particularly if they are typing keystrokes in advance. 

To resolve this there is an option to lock the customer selected. This is in Settings / Job entry / Customer section.  

If it is wished to unlock a customer then the  customer entry can be unlocked by clicking on the icon in the top right of the customer box.

This summarises the updates made to 18/06/18.

Implementing Trayless system.

Implementing Trayless.

Introduction.

Trayless is used so that uncut, remoted edged orders and glazed supply frame orders can be entered without a tray.  The orders can then be sent to the supplier and tray allocated when the lenses are sent from the supplier.

Settings.

In Tray Allocation, Set configured to true.
In Trays / Skip tray on supply frame
Set configured to true.
Set Except on finished lens.  This means that finished lenses still need a tray.
There is a special setting to allow trayless on certain customer for testing. These customers are flagged with ! as first character of Owner. This is intended for testing purposes only.

Processing.

When order is entered and the option is configured then the following logic is applied.
Tray is not needed except in these circumstances
Is the lens supplied from finished and finished lens need a tray.
The lens is not finished but the supplier in the ranges is set as SURF.  This is to route these lenses to In House surfacing.

Sending to Supplier and reference.

Orders are sent to the supplier. The reference sent to the supplier can be controlled by the reference field in the ‘Send to Purchasing’ supplier configuration.  There is a field called reference which defaults to {tray}-{order}.
If a tray is connected to the order then the reference sent to the supplier is “tray”-“Annapurna job number”.
If a tray is not connected then the reference sent is “Annapurna Job number”.
The reference will be printed on the lens packet and it can be useful to have this set so as to easily guide on actions when the lenses are received.
 

If there is a need to know if the order is being supplied to the customer as uncut or remote edge then this can be achieved by putting {uncut} into the reference field ie  
{uncut}{tray}-{order}

The uncut will be replaced with @ (or ~ if remote edged} so the reference will be like this
@400001       Uncut for order 4000001
1234-400002   Glazed Send in for order 400002, frame is in tray 1234
4000003   Glazed supply frame for 400003

Assign tray for glazed supply frame.

For the lenses that need to go to glazing then the option in production / pick frame is used.  This will confirm the details, ask for the tray and print the works order.

Summary.

This describes how trayless system can easily be set up in Annapurna.
