The Order module is the landing area for all Spectacle and Contact Lens orders from the Dispense section and the Contact Lens Orders page.
You can also generate orders directly through this screen - e.g. for Repairs. Check out the video below for more on this:
The Orders tab shows:
- Orders generated for Spectacles through the Dispense module.
- Orders generated for Contact Lenses through the Patient Record.
- Orders generated for Repairs directly through the Orders module.
Similar to the Dispense module, we can sort orders by Active Patient (and/or Branch) Only or also sort by Created Date and by Order Types.
TOP MENU BAR
New - Create a new order (generally used for Repairs, but open to interpretation by the practice). See How Do I Make a New Order? and the Video above.
Update - To update an order (generally used for Repairs, but open to interpretation by the practice).
View by WIP - View by Work in Progress. Used as the job sheet for the practice, we will look at the Order Progress Window next. We can toggle between the "View by WIP" and "View by Order" by pressing the View by WIP button.
Update WIP - linked to the Work in Progress in the top-right corner, this is to update the status of an existing order.
