Discount Setup


Discounts can be applied during a dispense or at the point of sale in the till screen.


FLEX allows you to create pre-set discounts that speed up the process of discounting goods when you are with a patient.


So, if you are planning a promotion, create a discount code with the amount pre-set (it can be either a percentage or a physical amount £) and a description that will appear on the receipt and in the discount report in business intelligence.


When creating discount codes, setting the amount or percentage to zero will force a prompt allowing the user to enter the discount amount at the point of sale.

Set A Default Lens Supplier


With so many lens suppliers to choose from it is likely that you have downloaded multiple supplier catalogues to pick from during a dispense. Did you know that you can set a default supplier catalogue that will be pre-loaded when you open the lens selector.


  • Go to Menu -> Setup -> Orders -> Dispense
  • Default Supplier Dropdown
  • Choose your default supplier form the available list
  • Selecting 'None' will result in all lenses being pre-loaded (this can cause the lens selector to take longer to open)
  • Use the 'X' to reset the default lens supplier 

A new audit report has been added that produces a complete clinical history printout, including:


  • Patient information
  • Medication
  • Clinical assessment
  • Refractions
  • IOPS's
  • Clinical sketches
  • Recommendations
  • Px advice / dispense advice / referral advice


Multiple examination records can be included in the printout.
