#QuestionOutcomeStatus
1Confirm where “System requirements specifications for eLMIS interface with mSupply” is/which document this is referring to. There's a specifications document and the interface-related Tanzania gap documentation speaks to mSupply, but it's not referenced this way.Chris Opit (Unlicensed) could you share more information on how it is done with mSupply? How does mSupply tell eLMIS about the shipments?Open
2For Tanzania user stories: review the "so thats" added, review the label, and review the priority level.
Open
3Does this align with our documentation or understanding of shipments outlined Order and Shipment files? Is there any diagrams for these?
Open
4Is the shipment file in anyway related to proof of delivery and closing the loop on quantity requisitioned, ordered, shipped, received/rejected (and therefore returned), updated stock on hand at warehouse/depo?

Gap Estimation Notes 4/12/2018

  • Question: Do they put a file on our FTP server, or do we look at their FTP server?
    • Josh: There is a file format, and there is a "quasi-protocol" in how you name files or where you put them. Order files and shipment files (or whether the order was rejected). 
    • Any FTP server can be used. Both the OpenLMIS and the ERP are pointed to this FTP server, wherever it is.
  • Issues with Product list changing over time
    • There can be issues when the products change.
    • Elias: We dealt with this. WE import all the lines in the file that we can, but the lines that cannot be imported are stored somewhere else in the database. If they solve the issue later, those line items can be re-processed.
    • Josh: Having a common master product list that Epicor/ERP and OpenLMIS and other systems share is a dependency here.
    • Elias: The ERP in Zambia lets users define products, and it lets them define a product any way, and use their own judgement. EG, we saw product codes for World Bank commodities (WB-1234) but it was really amoxycillin. So the shipment file comes in saying WB-1234 and the automation cannot handle it.
  • What and how do we need to build for this feature?
    • Mary Jo: Need to import a shipment file from FTP. Unclear on how far we go on error handling.
    • Mary Jo: OR our strategy could be we tell the ERP they have to hit our endpoint.
    • Josh: OR We say we use same shipment file, parity with previous versions (v0.8).
    • Josh: OR We try to use GS1 and identify a common ERP file format.
  • Flag: “order fill rate report” and others may be impacted (that is a Jasper report in the eLMIS)
  • Elias: We need you to review epic OLMIS-644. This includes "product substitution".
