Services
| Version | Stock Management | Request Stock | Orders | POD | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.0 | None | Requisition & Report User Inputs all Data (SM + Reporting + Request) Approval Process: User approves Request amounts → order amounts in next service | External Fulfillment | Beta - Not connected to shipment Only displays the ordered amount | ||||
| 3.3 | SOH is updated (Physical inventory) Generate a Request for Stock | Simple Request is created Data from Stock Management | Order to Local Fulfillment OR External Fulfillment | Fill quantities populate POD | Req goes through simple approval (no authorize) and converted to order Create an order Plan a distribution | Orders can be fulfilled locally or externally Fulfill multiple orders (batch order fulfillment or distribution) | Fill/shipment quantities populate POD (update SOH) Reject |
Requisitions 3.0 handles three functionalities: Reporting, Requests, and Stock Management, all within one requisition.

Meeting Notes:
- Mary Jo explained the table above (live picture below):
- Lots of discussion about terminology and what parts to build first.
Questions:
- What terms do we need to align on to continue this discussion?
- Why did we decide to start on certain pieces first?
- What is "enable" in SCOR? Human resources, finance, costs, asset mgmt (per SCOR)
- Does SM tie into Local Fulfillment and POD? Yes
- MVP is described as:
- Req Pickup
- Req Deliver
- Allocate Pickup (create an order directly)
- create an order that needs to quickly fulfill
- Allocate Deliver (plan a distribution)
- For allocation, does that mean there will be no POD because there is a pickup? There is still the concept of POD because it may be printed and signed for confirmation. There is no shipment created in this scenario (Shipment-less POD).
- Convert to Order question: Local fulfill vs external fulfillment. How do we convert to order for local fulfillment? This question is on the requirements page for Create an Order
- Dependencies:
- Question: How do we manage UI component dependencies that depend on different back-end services being on or off?
- Josh: we need to come up with patterns
- "soft dependencies" versus "hard dependencies"
- "feature-based dependencies"
- need to be clear which are build-time dependencies versus run-time
- temporary decision: make Fulfillment dependent on CCE and SM for now (and revisit later; see Action Item below)
- Configuration has lots of open questions.
- If SM is not turned on, can you still fulfill an order using Local Fulfillment (when setting fill quantities?) No, stock management is needed to display your SOH.
- Which workflows need to work offline?
- It depends. The SM Requisition could come from an offline tool.
- The approvals could also be more offline (like you get an email–you don't have to log in to approve). But that is more of a different feature rather than standard "offline".
- Local fulfillment might need to always be online.
- Maybe we need to get it built and working and then once we see it working we can decide what parts work offline.
Action items
- Josh Zamor and Nick Reid (Deactivated) hold the discussion about Dependencies, then share outcomes/decisions (consider if you want to share on Dev Forum or Tech Committee; also consider if Patterns come from this)
- Nick Reid (Deactivated) notify SolDevelo that we want to create hard dependencies for the short term
- Josh Zamor make a design document about services and responsibilities
- Josh Zamor propose configuration of supply lines, local fulfillment, and SM Requisition/stock-based requisition template
- Sam Im (Deactivated) hold a team kick-off of SM Requisition/stock-based requisition work (when we are ready; when it has a tech lead)
