   Addon groups require 2 different steps to create.  The first is creating the addon codes.  Once the codes are created, they are then associated with addon groups with a few exceptions that will be explained further in this document.  There are 2 types of addons; manual and automatic.  Manual addons consist of tints and AR coatings applied to the lenses by the lab.  Manual addons also includes things such as replacing hinges on a frame, warranty charges, polish and roll edges and other services.  Automatic addons include tints and treatments already applied to the lens such as Transition or polarized coatings.  Automatic addons also include prism and frame type charges and many others.  A complete list of automatic addons is shown further in this document.

  1.  From the Main RxUniverse screen, select "Setup" and click on "Addon Codes".  There are 3 tabs on the addon codes screen:  General, Job Flow and Overrides.
  2. Click the "ADD" button. The following screen will be displayed:
     General tab
  3. Type in an "Addon Code".  The lab may use any code they wish for manual addons.  For example, "POLISH" could be used as a code for a polish edge price.
  4. Enter a description for the code.
  5. Below the "Description" label checkmark the "Allow Modifications on Order Screen" if when entering a job in Customer Service, the price of the item can be modified.  Leave unchecked if no changes to the price should be allowed.
  6. Checkmark the next box "Allow Changes in Quantity on Order Screen" should be allowed in Customer Service.  Otherwise, leave it unchecked.
  7. By default, "Allow Addon with $0.00 Price on Order Screen" is checked.  It's better to always leave this checked as even if the price of an item is $0.00 if will still appear on the invoice.
  8. "Exclude code from Rx-Site" only applies to labs using Rx-Site.  For more information on Rx-Site, please refer to the Rx-Site document.  
  9. "Optional EPRESS Value" is used if the addon code has a specific EPRESS value that should be sent to the devices.  Otherwise, leave the field blank. "EPRESS" is how much pressure is used on the edging wheel.
  10.  "Optional CLAMP Value" is used if the addon code has a specific CLAMP value that should be sent to the devices.  Otherwise, leave the field blank.  "CLAMP" sets how much pressure is used on an edger when clamping a lens.
  11. Should the addon require extra processing days, enter the number of days in the "Additional Processing Days".  The number of days specified will be added to the date wanted field when entering a job using this addon.
  12. The "Price Group" field can not be edited.  RxUniverse keeps track of which addon group the addon is associated with. Creating addon groups is discussed further in this document.  Once the group is created, this field will be updated automatically.

    Job Flow tab   
  13. Click on the "Job Flow" tab at the top of the screen.  Only used if the lab is using job tracker and job flow.  The following screen will be displayed for "POLISH".

  14. Click on the save button to save the new manual addon which may appear as below if using the example "POLISH" and changes are allowed in Customer Service.
  15. Repeat the steps above to create a record for all manual addons.

    Automatic Addons



    Automatic addons will be added to the order automatically.  Special codes are required for such addons.  As well, when creating automatic addons for tints and treatments, the RxUniverse codes from the tints and treatment database must be used.  Below is a list of automatic addons available in RxUniverse.

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:
