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.
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.
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.

This now shows the operator and also whether the calculation was in preview mode(no click fee) on freeform engines.
Annapurna can now route orders that have a trace file connected to the order to a different supplier in the source rules.
In the Source rules excel sheet, please set the title on column J to "with trace" and the row for the lens enter the supplier code. If it is a private community supplier then include the trailing *.
The supplier configuration determines whether the lenses can be ordered as remote edged or as an uncut.
The reference field in View Orders can be used in two special ways for searching.
If the reference entered is surrounded by " , for example, "Varilux" then Annapurna will only show orders with Varilux in the order data.
If the reference entered is surrounded by ', for example, 'Edged' then Annapurna will only show orders with Edged in the order comments.
The grey cirle can also be used to search for orders with certain attributes. The attributes are set on an order to indicate that the order has a certain feature for example, it has been rejected.
It is possible to enter an order into Annapurna that does not take stock from local inventory but instead can be directed to a lens supplier.
In settings: /Inventory tick "Allow Direct Purchase". If this requirement is an occasional need then it may be better to set this on demand so that this in not accidentally set when not needed.
When an order is entered then at the bottom of the wholesale area there is a tick box 'Deduct Stock'. This needs to be un-ticked for this order.
When the order has been placed, go to Lens Inventory and the reorder tab. In the top right, there is a red baggage con. Click that and you will be asked for a job number. Enter the job number and the lenses on the order that are linked to the selected supplier will be added into the proposed purchase order. Click on "Create PO" to transfer the proposed purchase order into a purchase order which is then sent via the normal method.
