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.

Technical.

There is a new field added Baseneed to indicate that this lens MUST have a base entered in order entry. The available bases are taken from base selection file or from a macros entry.

It is now possible to set a production message against the frame. This is added to the general production message which is shown in glazing assembly and QC screens.

Purchasing.

It is now possible to sell lenses as Rx but purchase as a different stock code from the supplier. A mapping to indicate this has to be set and the software will check that the alternative stock lens is appropriate.

Sunglass / Sport.

There is a new restriction added so that only certain lenses and coatings can be sold with a frame. The previous restriction by family is still retained but there has been a demand for specific mirror colours to go with the frame as part of the aesthetics of the look.

Coatings / Tint.

It is also now possible for the selection of the coating to determine the tintings available for selection. Before, it was that the coating required a tint.

Solenzara & SSL

All the Solenzara sites now support https. This has necessitated some changes in the Hawkstone Design domain as previously the hawkstonedesign.co.uk could be used interchangeably with solenzara.co.uk.  

As separate SSL certificates have been placed on each site then this interchangeability has been lost.  All calls to the Solenzara applications should reference the solenzara domains (www,www2,www3).  

However, the start html is still set as www.hawkstonedesign.co.uk/supplierstart.html and this will forward to the appropriate solenzara site. In this way, if there is a problem with a site then the forwarding can be switched to the alternative site.

In summary, bookmarks etc should go to www.hawkstonedesign.co.uk/supplierstart.html but calls to the application directly from other software should go to the appropriate solenzara.co.uk site.

Squeeze / Wiggle room

There are a couple of features which allow orders where the minimum size uncut is calculated to be just above a catalogue diameter.

For finished lenses there is a setting in Job Entry / Finished Lens Diameter / Still use finished if MSU exceeds diameter by.

If this is set to 1 then diameters up to 71mm will still pick a 70mm finished lens.

For Rx lenses, there is a setting Calculation / Show Squeeze in.  This will enable a link on the order entry screen "Squeeze". If this is clicked then the glazing allowance is reduced to 0.1mm.

In addition, if the PD is wished to be changed to make the lens fit, then there is  ? by the PD. If this is clicked then a table will be shown. This will indicate the diameter calculated for different PDs and whether it is acceptable according to standards.
