Introduction

This document provides instructions to set up the routing rule for Supplied (enclosed) lens orders. This routing rule

will allow the lab to run the supplied lens job through verification to create the necessary edging file, without decrement to inventory and still be able to edge the lenses.

Procedure

From the Optifacts main menu:

Lite-up called SUPPLIED LENS has

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.

We have this one

This lite-up is hard-coded to flag items in sales analysis etc. so that we

don't

don’t attempt to count this

lens

as one

that's

processed from inventory.


This should be lit up on every enclosed job.    Then a routing rule called whatever you want. Like EncLens, Verify or Here.  This

 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.
