This page summarizes the discussions and requirements gathered thus far for this domain.
TO DO:
- For all stories, under I and II, reconcile user personas listed
- Link up stories with the exact source from archive
- Figure out what the "backside" of the card will be – if you have a screenshot from an existing system to print on the other side of the card, figure out which screen shot and send to Alice for printing.
- The following table will be represented as cards and printed out so folks can move things around.
Important
highlightsto note:
- We've defined stock management as everything dealing with stock for my facility and store rooms only. Workflows related to stock at lower levels should be included in DISTRIBUTIONRe-Supply. This includes issuing to a lower level, checking stock levels at a lower level, etc.
- Recording wastage open question – are we prepared to move all things wastage to Forecasting & Estimation, or do we still need to talk about reasons for wastage & recording wastage during physical stock count?and capturing reasons for wastage are covered in this domain. Since wastage is captured first in during physical inventory, it should be is reflected in stories herehere. The wastage data recorded is also used for Forecasting & Estimation.

- For the KPIs, identify the persona(s) viewing these and the frequency.
- Do the KPIs only apply at facilities using OpenLMIS to track their stock (record physical stock counts, adjustments, etc)?

*Note: Should Stock keeping Units (SKUs) should be the operating assumption to enable use of barcode scanners? If so, vials are the SKU and must be used. However, if doses are the unit for estimating needs (based on targets) then MVP needs to offer both SKU as well as a dose conversion based on doses per vial in order to convert doses need to SKUs to supplied. No OpenLMIS user should have to recalculate doses to vials with a calculator (or worse, by hand)

Open Questions
- Is recording VVM status with physical stock count a must-have? should happen with every stock count
- does doing a physical inventory feed into the CCE process? no
- Would we want to enforce physical inventories? for v3 it's not enforced
- How frequently will users enter in stock balances?
- If wastage is moved to Forecasting & Estimation, do we still need to include pieces on "reason for wastage" here in SM? yes
- Requisitions should be included in stock management, yes

III - What is the "ask" from small group?
At the end of Round 1, we want the group to report back to the plenary with X.
To get this, the small group will work on the following:
Reference how this is set up here: http://boardthing.com/board/58f66e449ff9028fc8fad53d
Walk everyone through what is proposed – pause to make sure they get it and then do voting.
At the end of Round 2, we want the Facilitator to report back to the plenary with Y.
To get this, the small groups (on rotation, global cafe style), will on work on the following:
IV - Notes to Facilitator
- We will have the generalizable country profiles – review with the group often to see if for both countries needs, the MVP is applicable.
- Always ask about which unit of data capture and data view – doses or vials
- Remind resource constraints and time constraints (software needs to be released by November!) when needed
- Remind folks that simplicity is a beautiful thing! Getting folks to think of end user and the need to not overwhelm them with several features but the minimum necessary to do their job well is key.
