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 and we allow edging files to be created 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 hard-coded to flag items in sales analysis etc. so we don't attempt to count this lens as one that's processed from inventory. This should be lit up on every Supplied Lens (enclosed) job. You will also setup a dependent lite-up to trigger the "DO NOT ROUTE" lite-up to turn on with "SUPPLIED LENS". This will stop the job from routing anywhere. Then you will setup a manual routing rule for Supplied Lens that can be used at verify to create the necessary edging files.

Setup a Dependent Lite-up

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

From the Optifacts main menu:

Type 3 - Editor Utilities and press enter.

Type 4 - Pricing Database Editor and press enter.

Type 6 - Dependent Lite-up Options and press enter.

Type 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.

Type 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
Type the lite-up number for SUPPLIED LENS end press enter. In our example the lite-up # is 74.
Type the letter O into the field beside the lite-up number and press enter. This indicates that when 74 is on we want to trigger something else.
Press enter down to the Dependent Lite-up field.
Type the lite-up number for your "DO NOT ROUTE" lite-up and press enter. In out example the # is 123.
Type the letter O into the field beside the lite-up number and press enter.
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.

Press Escape to exit.
