Introduction

This document provides instructions to search for, add to, change, or delete a work file.

Procedure

While at the Work File Menu, you can also add lenses to your order, edit lenses for ordering, and remove lenses from the work file. You can scan SKUs and add lenses, or you may enter lens descriptions and have Optifacts search for the SKU to add.

Editing the work file is done through an Informix Perform screen. The commands for Informix Perform screens are at the end of this manual. You can update the quantity and the tray number associated with the SKU on this screen. You may also remove entries. Adding entries to the work file is not done through this screen. You may add lenses to the work file in several ways. The simplest way would be to scan a barcode each time for every lens you want to order. This method is “Fast Entering,” menu option 4 on the menu. If you need to order 20 lenses, you need to scan the SKU twenty times. If you enter an SKU that does not exist on your inventory system, a report printed lists these when you exit this routine. You then need to determine if the non-existent SKU entered was correct or if you need to add this SKU to your inventory system.

Another method involving the SKU code is “Adding Lenses by SKU.” You scan or enter the SKU code and tell the system how many to order.
