Contact Lenses need to be associated to SmartFlow within the Inventory module. This can be accomplished by updating your existing products or by importing the products that are used within your practice. If you have added products manually in the past, you can import the identical product and deactivate the manually added product. If you deactivate a manually added product and import the identical product, when running reports, there will be line-items from your original product and line-items from your newly imported product listed separately within the report.
- Imported products:
- Are automatically associated to SmartFlow.
- Automatically include product details such as Lens Type, Manufacturer, Model, and SmartFlow ID.
