Supraban

 There is a restriction on materials that can be used with Rimless frames.  An equivalent has been set for Supra / Grooved frames.

Glazing Cells

 It is possible to define glazing cells, a cell is blocker / edger combination.  It is also possible to set rules to indicate which cell is preferred for certain orders, for example based on the lens material or the frame type.  

Such a case, may be to direct Polycarbonate lenses to a particular cell or rimless frames.

There is setting to turn on this feature. Glazing cells may be set in order entry or view job which is also where the rules for the cells are defined.

AnnapTesting Process

 There is now a means to process a set of test orders to confirm that a software update or a data update works in the anticipated way.

 There has been for a long time the means to prevent certain indexes being used for rimless lenses.

A similar feature now exists for Supra / Grooved frames.  

In the settings:

Job Entry / Checks / Materials not allowed with Supra/Grooved frames

, you need to enter the combination of the Organic/Mineral flag and the refractive index as set in the lenses csv files.

For example O1498.

Multiple entries are separated with a : eg O1498:O1500

Drafts have been extended to include a Review tab

 In Annapurna, the drafts option has been extended to have a review tab.  This is for the cases when an order cannot be placed but the customer service team need to pass it over for technical review n potential options.

This then leps the list of orders in drafts as the orders that the customer services team need to manage.

Orders in the review area can be passed for order entry directly by clicking on the order line.

Postal area filter added

 Report1 , Report 19 and View Orders now have a postal area filter.  If enter for example, GL, then the report will be filtered to only show the records where the customer has a postal code that starts with GL.

Supplier Costs

 There is now the ability in Annapurna to set cost prices by supplier. This is applied when lenses are received and is for the times when lenses are ordered in when out of stock or similar.
