Goals/Scope
Product lists and prices in OpenLMIS are updated in line with updates to product lists and prices in the ERP, so that this does not cause problems during import of orders from OpenLMIS to ERP and facilitates other future interoperability between OpenLMIS and the ERP.
...
Priority: High priority for Tanzania especially for MSD
Notes: zambia

Status in OpenLMIS: Not in OpenLMIS currently
Priority: High priority for Zambia especially for MSL/LMU
Background
The PMU staff act as eLMIS administrators and configure eLMIS. Zonal level PMU staff are active in configuration of product lists and national advisors do other configuration.
...
Product prices are normally changed at the start of each financial year. New products can be created at any time.
See also sections sect ions of the document “System requirements specifications for eLMIS interface with mSupply” which discuss import of product lists.
Additional Notes : Zambia
MACS is the ERP in use by Medical Stores Limited in Zambia. MACS is for internal MSL use only. MACS covers internal management of MSL including MSL procurement, stock management and storage and distribution. For any functionality which involves interfaces with health facilities, districts or the Ministry, MSL requires that that functionality be in eLMIS.
Product meta-data are entered manually into eLMIS (with descriptions matching those on paper R&R forms). Products are entered into the ERP in parallel, and by other MSL staff. This can result in mismatching, which throws up errors when requisitions are being imported from eLMIS to the ERP, which then need to be resolved manually. New products can be created at any time.
Assumptions
While some non-vaccine items do require cold chain conditions, they are not given any special configuration treatment.

Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:
| # | Question | Outcome | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Will product list updates always go through a manual validation and update process? | ||
| 2 | Was this background detail confirmed as not a gap in OpenLMIS: "Prices are normally changed once per year, at the start of the financial year (i.e., 1 July). The system stores old prices as well as new prices and uses the appropriate prices for any particular time period"? | ||
| 3 | Need for adding in "System requirements specifications for eLMIS interface with mSupply" on import of product lists. | ||
| 4 | Is there a desire to have this done automatically? |
