1. Scope
OpenLMIS will support budget tracking for R&R. OpenLMIS will allow option to configure budget tracking for a program. When configured, budget files can be uploaded to OpenLMIS and approver of an R&R will be able to review an R&R that is costed and compared with available budget. Budget short falls can be overriden with explanations on comments section.
2. Background
Some program such as Integrated Logistics System (ILS) in Tanzania requires budget tracking. ILS program commodities are mostly funded by MoH own fund. Specific budgets are allocated for each facility for budget controlled program. Not all program requires budget tracking. That's why this feature needs to be supported in a way that a country implementation can configure budget control for some program and not for other program.
Allow configuring a program to show costed/priced R&R. Optionally allow budget control for a program, if pricing is already enabled.
Allow budget file configuration
Upload budget file
Facility budget report
When a program is configured to have R&R priced and budget controlled, allow review of budget sufficiency
