Goals/Scope
This functionality seeks to provide users of the system a way to keep track of product and conduct stock management through an electronic stock card. This should captures movements in and out of stock, as well at reasons for stockout and other relevant information. Successful acceptance of this functionality would involve the following:
Enter vaccine stock data, capture stock movements (amount, history, received stock.) The electronic stock card feature is used to mirror the physical cards that sit in storeroom bins and serve as a log of all past ins and outs for each commodity in the storeroom. Each stock card should contains all transactions for each batch of the commodity.
Background
Effective vaccine management requires accurate stock management information in order to track stock levels and ultimately using the information to predict and avoid stockouts.
Forecasting/Needs estimation can be calculated using:
- Configure stock card template for UI viewing
- Conduct a physical stock count on a schedule
- Track ins/outs of stock
- Transfer in/out (to/from a facility within OpenLMIS and out)
- Adjustments
- View stock cards and stock on hand
- Historical movements/corrections
- Notifications on low stock

User Stories
# | Title | User Story | Label | Importance | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Configure fields on the electronic stock card | As an OpenLMIS implementer, I want to set-up the stock card to specify which fields to display, the name of each field and the order of the fields so that the stock card is easy to navigate and relevant to OpenLMIS users in my implementation managing their stock at a facility. | SIIL | Must Have |
|
2 | Create electronic stock cards for a facility | As a storeroom manager, I want to see electronic stock cards for all my products when my facility is set up so I can begin tracking stock movements at my facility. Being able to view by facility (and geographical area?) is an important requirement of this story. | SIIL | Must Have | 1. When implementer initially configures the master product list and associates products to facility types, a blank electronic stock card is generated for all of the facility approved products.
2. When a new product is added to a facility's product list, a blank electronic stock card is created for the product
|
3 | View current electronic stock card for a product | As a storeroom manager, I want to be able to see the electronic stock card with all transactions for a product that exists at my facility so that I can see what transactions contributed to my current stock on hand for that product. | SIIL | Must Have | Scope out:
|
4 | Conduct physical stock count | As a storeroom manager I want to be able to make adjustments to vaccines in my inventory via a process that mimics the physical stock count I perform so that I can keep my electronic inventory synced with my physical inventory. | SIIL | Must Have | Acceptance criteria 1. Display list of products, current SOH quantities, and programs
2. User can sort list by product name, program name, or SOH 3. User can search by product name
4. User enters physical stock on hand for selected products 5. User also enters the following information:
Looking forward: If lot management is "on", physical count will need to be done by lot.
|
5 | Make stock adjustment | As a storeroom manager I want to make adjustments/changes to the information on the electronic stock card so that I can record any changes that have occurred in my actual stock (ensuring that my electronic and physical stock amounts are the same) | SIIL | Must Have | Batch action to be included? |
6 | Perform ad-hoc receipt/issue | As a storeroom manager I want to be able to perform an ad hoc receipt/issue to record vaccine movements that were not part of the routine process so that I can keep my electronic inventory up to date. | SIIL | Nice to have | These ad hoc vaccine movements are important to record in the stock card, but they are listed as Nice to Have since the same amounts can be recorded in the general "adjust |
7 | Print stock card | As a store room manager, I want to print out electronic stock card so I can store the paper format copy and/or provide it to auditors who need to see a physical copy. | SIIL | Nice to have | |
8 | Record historical stock activities | As a store room manager, I want to record information on stock movements that happened in the past (i.e. in a non-chronological order) so that I can capture the full scope of stock movements through my storeroom. Implementers will have the option to select the cut off for how far back users can enter historical movements.

Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:
# | Question | Outcome | Status |
---|---|---|---|
1 | In terms of personas, the DIVO, storeroom manager, and intermediate level logistician all record stock movements and monitor stockouts. Should they be called out separately in the user stories? | ||
2 | Should we address lot management in v3.3? | ||
3 | Adding stories on bundling orderables/products (kits) |
