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
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.
# | Title | User Story | Label | Importance | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 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” or "Dispensing Units 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. (See notes below) | 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 | |
Include any business process mapping, mockups, diagrams or visual designs relating to these requirements. Describes the tasks and the personas who perform those activities. The diagram provides the context for the user stories and serves as a focal point for achieving clarity and agreement among stakeholders. Looks like a standard flow chart.
Identify initial dependencies that are on the critical path for this functionality and may affect the delivery time and serving of business goals. Include links to stories.

Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:
# | Question | Outcome | Status |
---|---|---|---|
1 | For Tanzania user stories: review the users, "so thats" added, review the label, and review the priority level. | Communicate the decision reached | Open, In Progress, Closed, and date of closure |
2 | Need more clarity on the columns and confirm if the new columns meet the needs or not. |
