The stock imbalance report shows lists of facilities and product combinations.
Use:
- Only counts from regular requisitions (emergency should be incorporated into regular)
- As the reports are being used, there is a shift to wanting notifications to alert people to the situation rather than requirement to look for that information
- Different users will want to see these things differently - also want to reduce the number of reports
- WHEN do people use this - it is retrospectively, different users will look at different times throughout the month/period
For each it shows:
- the average monthly consumption
- the closing balance
- the closing balance in terms of months of supply
- the ordered quantity.
- A status of “stock out” (0), “under stock” (months of supply < 3), adequately stocked (MOS 3-6), over stocked (MOS > 6) and unknown (AMC=0).
