Introduction
(Optional) A light-up triggers short Optimization calculation. For installations that use the feasibility screen in order entry, the calculation call regularly uses feasibility. To trigger a call that would use short optimization, first add a lite-up.

Are the entries correct (Y/N)?
- Type “Y” if correct, and the data gets saved.
- Type “N” to return to the form.
Retail Transfer
Now you need to run the Pricing Options Available report to find the num and bit assigned to the newly created lite-up.

Select Option 14 - Report: Price Options Available and press Enter
Find the num and bit that are associated with the new light-up.
