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

The first thing you must do is to setup You must first set up a dependent lite-up to turn on "DO “DO NOT ROUTE" when "SUPPLIED LENS" is ROUTE” when “SUPPLIED LENS” gets turned on.

Type Select Option 4 - Pricing Database Editor and press enterEnter.
