    The system prompts you to send the order immediately, don’t send at all or hold the order, print the order out for manual voice or fax orders, or queue the order for sending at a later time you specify. When queuing an order, you choose a time in a 24-hour format using four digits. You would send time of 8:15 pm as 2015. You would send a time of noon as 1200. The example above is in the queue for a send time of 5:00 am. Since most lens vendors use electronic methods for placing lens orders, you will most likely never queue a purchase order for sending at a later time.

    Most orders should get sent immediately. All orders specified to send immediately get sent, and the order gets marked as in transit. Orders sent electronically receive a reference number from the vendor when the order gets sent successfully. This reference number also appears on your order when you receive it from your lens vendor. 

    Anytime an order gets sent, you should print a copy of the sent order, so you have a hard copy of the data sent, which vendor it was, a purchase order number, and a confirmation number.

    • Enter one of the following options:
    • “Y” Send the file.
    • “N” Don’t send the file.
    • “M” Manual send.
    • “Q” Queue.
    • “V” Vweb (VisionWeb).
    • Press Escape to exit (Send later).
    • Enter the PO number or press enternumber (if applicable and not already filled in).
    • Enter the Ship Via and press enter.Type Y Rush or N Don’t Rush and press enter(if applicable and not already filled in).
    • Enter “Y” to Rush, or enter “N” Don’t Rush (if applicable and not already filled in).
