...

 From the Main RxUniverse screen, select "Pricing" and click on "Material Groups".  Click the "ADD" button.  Any material that is the same price can be grouped together.  The following screen  A screen similar to the one below will be displayed:

1.  All materials that are used by the lab and set to active in the material database will appear on the left hand side of the screen.  Enter a material group such as CR39. When creating a material group for plastic CR39, also add material "T" for Transitions.  The extra cost of the transition coating will be covered by addons which is explained in another step.  
2. Type in a description.
3. The sequence number defaults to "99" which means the material will appear in the pricelist in alphanumeric order.  To have the CR39 material appear in the first column of the pricelist, enter "1" in the Sequence field.  Materials will appear in the sequence order entered on the above screen.  When entering the prices, having the materials in the same order as they appear on the customer's copy of your pricelist makes it much easier to enter.
4. Highlight the appropriate material in the left hand column and use the ">" to add the material to the right hand column.  To remove the material, highlight the material in the right hand column and use the "<" to return it to the left hand column.
   
5. Save the record.
6. Click the add button and repeat the above but enter the material group as 1.67.  Type in a description and enter the sequence number as "2".  If material 1.60 is the same price as the 1.67, the materials can be added to the 1.67 and the "Description" would read something like "High Index Plastic".
   
7. Click the Add button to continue creating material groups until the left hand column is blank.

Once all the material groups have been created, they will appear in the pricelist file in the sequence specified as shown below:

2.  Type in a description.
3. As with the material groups, the sequence number defaults to "99".  Enter a different sequence to have the lenses appear in the sequence entered above or leave as "99" which will list the lens styles in alphanumeric order.
4. Highlight the appropriate lens style in the left hand column and use the ">" to add the lens stylel style to the right hand column.  To remove the lens style, highlight the lens style in the right hand column and use the "<" to return it to the left hand column.

Pricelist – Rx Prices
The price list details grid is made up of the material/lens style groups. The order that the material/lens style groups appear in is dependent of the sequence field entered in the "groups" maintenance screens. The sequence numbers allows a lab to format the grid specific to their labs needs. The lower sequence numbers will appear first in the grid. The first row of the lens styles is called "Base". The prices contained in the base pricing will be used as default pricing for all lens styles for the material group they are applied to.

Right clicking on any of the material or lens style group headings will display a list of the material or lens styles that are contained within the group that was clicked.
The prices shown on this screen will display the initial price for the lens style/material combination. To set specific pricing based on sphere/ cylinder double double-click on the desired style/material price and a pricing detail screen will appear.
Finished
Semi-Finished
1.501.751.501.25Cylinder / Diopter $Sphere / Diopter $

The pricing details screen allows the user to specify if the price is based on pairs or lenses. On an order, pair pricing will divide the specified price by 2 when a lens that uses this price is selected on an order. Lens pricing will use the specified price if an order uses this price.
The lab can select if this price is a taxable item, whether the item is always net (no order discount allowed for this price except for the "Item Discount").
An "item Discount" allows the lab to set a promotional price discount for the material/lens style combination. The "Item Discounts" are displayed in their own bucket on the order screen "Pricing tab".
The lab can streamline the prices based on sphere/cylinder power or blank diameter. Right clicking the mouse button while in the sphere/cylinder grid will popup a menu allowing the user to add, delete or modify a sphere cylinder line. When selecting the add/modify function, a maintenance grid will appear to the right of the grid allowing for the modification of the sphere/cylinder information.

Accepting the changes, will save the information in the sphere/cylinder grid, the lines will automatically be sequenced based on sphere power, then cylinder power then diameter. Prices can be entered for both semi-finished and/or finished lens blanks.
The "Sphere per diopter" and "Cylinder per diopter" pricing entries can be used to augment the price contained in the last grid entry. When a lens is priced and its sphere/cylinder is above the breakpoints in last entry, then the price contained in the last entry will be increased by the $ amount specified for each diopter that the Rx prescription is in excess of the breakpoint.

Priceslist – Addon prices


The Addon Price Detail screen grid is similar to the Rx prices grid with the exception that an entry for "Base" materials has been added. Similar to the Base lens style, an entry in the base material column will apply to all materials for the specified lens style, or all lens styles if the "Base material/Base lens style" grid cell is populated with a price.
When adding a new addon price entry, the user can select the type of addon that is being priced. This is controlled by the "Auto Code" entry. Auto code pricing allows addons to be automatically applied to an order when an order goes through its pricing routine. For addon items that the lab wants to aplly manually, set the "Auto code" fields to "Manual Entry".
The lab then selects the "Addon group" that the pricing applies to.
The lab can set the pricing mode for the addon as follows:
