Work Order Date Field
Sets the date, or range of dates, of the Work Orders to be used in generating the Frame Order (based on the Work Order's Date field).
For example, if you require a Frame Order only for the Work Orders entered today, add today's date.
Do not use in combination with the Due Date Field, choose one or the other.
The date format is: MM/DD/YYYY
To enter a range of dates use: MM/DD/YYY...MM/DD/YYYY

Work Orders Eligible to be Included
FrameReady displays the number of Work Orders which have been Selected for Frame Order.
You can perform this search yourself: Click Find Work Order and put a checkmark in the Selected for Frame Order checkbox.
Include in Frame Order Checkboxes
Options include: Mat Design, Mounting, Hardware, Extra, Glazing, and Fitting.
If you wish to include Fabrics, tick the Glazing checkbox.
Create Purchase Orders Checkbox
If checked, FrameReady displays the Create Purchase Orders for the Following Vendors screen immediately after printing the last Frame Order.
Print Frame Labels Checkbox
If checked, FrameReady generates printable frame labels.
Page Break Radio Button
To print each supplier on a separate sheet, choose Print with Page Breaks.
Pause on Preview Radio Buttons
Check Yes to display a preview of the document and requires you to click the Continue button in order to present the Print Dialog box. This pause will allow you to also save the document as a PDF by clicking on "Save As PDF..." before it prints.
Check No to display a preview of the document, however, it will not pause but will either advance to the Print Dialog box or move directly to printing. This provides a faster option while still allowing you to verify the document before printing.
Check Don't Preview and FrameReady will not display a preview of the document. Instead, it will display a blank white area (if you have set the Print Dialog box to display on the screen), or it will simply cause the screen to flash briefly as it sends the document to the printer.
Show Print Dialog Box Radio Buttons
Show Print dialog box before printing: Yes, displays the Print dialog box before printing. Use to print more than one copy, change printers, or select special features of your printer or cancel the print job.
No, causes the document to be sent directly to the printer without any further prompts. A faster option.
Restore Last Order Button
Finds all Work Orders that were in the previous Frame Order and resets them so they can be included again in the next Frame Order.
Work Orders that are Complete or Estimate are omitted.
Back Ordered items will be automatically entered on new Purchase Orders.
After using the Restore Last Order feature, you have the option to view alist of the Work Orders that have been reset. To make a Frame Order, click the Create a Frame Order button again and then click the Proceed button.
Tip: The
Restore Last Order button is great for those 'oops times, for example, when
you didn't have the printer turned on or when you didn't really intend
to click the Proceed button and want to start over.
Restore Last Order
finds all the Work Orders that were included in the last
Purchase Order and toggles their order field so they can be included
in the next order (which can include new POs).
For flexibility, the Restore Last Order function allows for duplicate Purchase Orders; it is your responsibility to manage the orders in the system.
