Overview

Date: 09.03.2026
Duration: ~48 minutes
Participants: Katrin Wurdinger, Gerd Bernau, Malte Neumann, Avijit Rastogi, Sylvia Estermann, Uwe Freitag, Melinda Hofmockel

• Rodenstock needs a new order option „Gender“
• This field does not yet exist in the current SF6/LC7 catalog.
• Proposal:
  • Integration in existing SF6 under the free ID 84 (personal data section).
  • In LC7 as a new enumeration field „Gender“.
• Discussion on versioning:
  • Decision: create a new version 6.10.5, instead of extending 6.10.4.
  • Effort in the wiki is high, but will be carried out.

To do:
→ Gerd integrates the new order option in version 6.10.5 and informs Nicole for final approval.

• A new plugin has been integrated that automatically translates missing pages (DE → EN/FR).
• How it works:
  • German is the default language.
  • When an English/French version is opened, the system automatically creates the translation.
• Limitation:
  • No full automatic synchronisation of existing pages.
• A detailed presentation will follow at the in-person meeting.

• Diana has sent information on room reservations.
• Room costs are borne individually by each participant;
• Meeting room costs and snacks are presumably covered by Rupp & Huprach.
• Attendance:
  • Several confirmations, including Sylvia and Katrin.
  • Please: participants should report their reservation requests directly to Diana.

• Lens price list merging:
  • Very complex („product groups, export groups, addresses etc.“).
  • Further bug fixes and extensions to follow.
• Error report from Katrin:
  • Product group assignment in the lens no longer works in the current version.

• It should be possible to order frame + 2 lenses together as a complete package.
• Two scenarios:
  1. Frame is ordered along with the lenses (manufacturer's stock item).
  2. Given Frame: the optician sends in the frame.

• How are frames and lenses correctly „matched“?
• Where should the logic reside?
  • Frame catalogue
  • Lens catalogue
  • A new, third format (e.g. „LensFrameLink“)
  • Or purely logic within the order process?

• Look4 catalogues sometimes have only 1 product ID + feature variants (e.g. sizes).
• Commercial Code is not always unique at SKU level.
• A manufacturer ID may need to be added.

• Opticians need frontend feedback:
  • „Can the frame be glazed?“
  • „Is the frame currently available for delivery?“
• Possible solution: web services
  • Compatibility check: „Does lens X fit frame Y?“
  • Stock availability check.

• The topic is not purely a catalogue matter → it primarily belongs to B2B Optic Order / process logic.
• Uwe is internally collecting requirements and examples.
• Further work in a separate working group/meeting.

• Gerd reminds everyone that a short reminder should ideally be sent before each meeting so that preparation topics are completed.

13 April 2026

Until then:

• Finalisation of version 6.10.5
• Clarification of requirements for „complete spectacles“.
• Preparations for the in-person meeting.
