Introduction
This document provides instructions to set up the routing rule for Supplied (enclosed) lens orders. This routing rule does all the things needed so that we don’t decrement inventory. It creates edging files without the demand for inventory verification.
Procedure
There is a lite-up called Supplied Lens, which has a num 0 and bit 16. This lite-up is hard-coded to flag items in sales analysis etc. so that we don’t attempt to count this as one processed from inventory. This lite-up should highlight automatically on every Supplied Lens (enclosed) job. You will also set up a dependent lite-up to trigger the “DO NOT ROUTE” lite-up to turn on with “SUPPLIED LENS.” The “DO NOT ROUTE” lite-up stops the job from routing anywhere. Then you will set up a manual routing rule for Supplied Lens that to use at verification to create the necessary edging files.
Setup a Dependent Lite-up
You must first set up a dependent lite-up to turn on “DO NOT ROUTE” when “SUPPLIED LENS” gets turned on.
From the Optifacts main menu:
Select Option 3 - Editor Utilities and press Enter.
Select Option 4 - Pricing Database Editor and press Enter.
Select Option 6 - Dependent Lite-up Options and press Enter.
Select Option 1 - Add/Edit Dependent Lite-up Options and press Enter.
The Add/Edit Dependent Lite-up Options screen displays.
Make sure that the following entry exists.
- Press 0 (zero) in the Account Number field to indicate that this will apply to all accounts and press Enter.
- Press Enter past the Ship-to-Code and press Enter
- Enter the lite-up number for SUPPLIED LENS. In our example, the lite-up # is 74.
- Enter the letter “O” into the field beside the lite-up number. This flag indicates that when 74 is turned on, we want to trigger something else.
- Press Enter down to the Dependent Lite-up field.
- Enter the lite-up number for your “DO NOT ROUTE” lite-up. In our example, the # is 123.
- Enter the letter “O” into the field beside the lite-up number.
- Are these entries correct (Y/N)?
- Press Y to confirm.
- Press N to return to the form.
You have now created a lite-up rule so that when “Supplied Lens” is turned on in order entry, the “Do Not Route” lite-up will be triggered to turn on as well.
- Press Escape to exit.
