Goals/Scope
R&R columns in OpenLMIS reflect the columns in official R&R formats in Tanzania, to avoid confusion of users and ensure accuracy.
Status in eLMIS: In eLMIS and in use
Status in OpenLMIS: We are not sure if columns are configurable this way in OpenLMIS currently
Priority: High priority
Background
It is important that R&Rs on the screen reflect the official paper R&Rs to avoid confusion by users. eLMIS currently reflects the R&R columns, so it is required that OpenLMIS should also.
OpenLMIS appears to have a column for “number of new patients” but not for “drugs needed for new patients”. While OpenLMIS has a column for “number of days of stockouts” and a “column for “normalised consumption for month”, it does not appear to have a column for “normalised consumption for the period” (quarter) nor to allow use of this in the calculation of maximum stock quantity. In OpenLMIS, amounts ordered seem to be converted into units of issue or numbers of packs in the background for costing, but amounts ordered in units of issue or number of packs do not seem to be visible on screen.
Assumptions
User Stories
| # | Title | User Story | Label | Importance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Match R&R form columns to paper forms | As an R&R submitter I need R&Rs on the screen to reflect the official paper R&Rs so that users aren't confused and to ensure accuracy. | Tanzania eLMIS R&R | Must have | |
| 2 | Fill drugs needed for new patients on ARV&OI | As an R&R submitter, I want to fill “drugs needed for new patients” (which is added to consumption) while filling in ARV&OI R&Rs so that I can estimate next period’s expected consumption. | Tanzania eLMIS R&R | Must have | |
| 3 | Normalize consumption calculated on R&R | As an R&R submitter, I want to enter data on “number of days of stockouts” (which is already in OpenLMIS) and see a calculated column for “normalised consumption” for the period, which is equal to (consumption during period*90/(90- number of stockout days)) when filling ILS and TB&L program R&Rs so that I can calculate the actual required quantities for the next quarter | Tanzania eLMIS R&R | Must have | The maximum stock quantity for these two programs is twice this normalised consumption. |
| 4 | Additional R&R columns | As an R&R submitter, I want to see columns showing pack size and amount ordered in “units-of-issue” or “numbers of packs ordered” and amount ordered in “units of dispensing”, so that the costing calculation is clearer and in order to match the paper R&R forms. | Tanzania eLMIS R&R | Must have | |
| 5 | R&R units of issue displayed for approvers | As an R&R approver I want to see the approved amount ordered in “units of issue” or “numbers of packs ordered” (read-only) when I enter or edit the approved amount ordered in “units-of-dispensing” (so that I can validate the data in central store pack size). | Tanzania eLMIS R&R | Must have | |
