Printing a Certificate for a order.

It is now possible to print a certificate for quality purposes.  This is in the production menu and there is a certificate layout.  Sample uses may be for safety spectacle documentation to accompany an order but this can be utilised wherever a certificate / other printout is required..

Changing Reject names

It is possible to use the languages to change the names of the reject departments and reasons.

In the file default_shared.lang in the lang_files folder the following can be added.

message_Order_Entry=Enter Jobs
message_Commercial=Non-lab

The format has to be

message_Original Name=New Name

Any spaces in Original Name need to be replaced with _ as in Order_Entry above.

Date on uncompleting orders and changing status on completed orders.

There are two recent settings which may be useful for status monitoring.

By default when a job in Annapurna is “uncompleted” the completed date remains. 

There is a new setting to prevent jobs that have been completed from having their status update eg booking a reject to a job after it has been completed. This is in settings / browser.

There is a side-effect that if this is ticked then when a status for a job that has been uncompleted is changed then the status is not recorded.  So it may be best to use the option in settings / browser to clear the completed date when a job is uncompleted.

Automatic Ordering to Supplier

This feature was added a little while ago but a reminder.

A new user is created and on the right there are options for automatic processing.  Tick the Send Orders.

Run Annapurna and log in with the new user credentials.  Annapurna will go straight to ordering and send the orders.

**** It is strongly recommended that this is tested by using the confirm sending in manual mode to leave only a few orders to send and then to use the automatic ordering to send the remaining orders.

Setting up Non Hawkstone Community Lens Suppliers.

Sending Orders to Suppliers not in the Hawkstone Community.

There are two options, create a private supplier and then print the orders for that supplier or create a CSV file.


Private Supplier.

A file named private_community.ini is read from “files” folder. If it does not exist then create this using a text editor.

The format is 

[Suppliername]
webservice=0

Replace Suppliername with the name of the supplier. 

When the option to send orders is started then the Supplier will appear at the end with a * suffix.  The * indicates that it comes from the private list.

When there are orders to be sent, they should be printed and sent to the supplier. Printing can be to a PDF which can then be emailed.


CSV Supplier.

On the configuration page, select CSV Supplier configuration. 

On the next page, enter
Number – Account number with the supplier
Name – Name of the supplier
Format – Select a format, Standard is recommended.
Click Update.

The CSV supplier will now appear in the list of available supplier.  When orders are sent then a CSV file will be created with the data in various columns.


Please note that in both of these formats there is no validation of the orders.
