10 min

• Discussion about a business case that would cause SOH be negative integer
• MJ: We also need to discuss the example of issuing stock when SOH is at zero at the time of issue.

Josh's thoughts and questions:

• a functional requirement here that lays out the first simple configuration: are negative SoH balances allowed as a result of adjustments or not. How, technically, will this be configured, how will this rule (aka policy) be enforced on the server-side and communicated to the client-side?

• Longer term I think we should start thinking about:

  • I would expect that whatever an implementation wants to do, the rule(s) (or policy) is defined once and shared for both the front and back-end. We need to start defining how that rule would be shared, and what the basic parameters are:
    • is negative SoH even allowed: yes/no
    • if negative is allowed, is the user prompted before syncing: yes/no
    • how long can a negative SoH be allowed before alerts are sent (and to whom): is this a matter of hours? days? a function of the processing periods?
    • what kind of scheduler would we need to send those alerts, and how would we use it with the negative SoH rule (policy)?
  • After that I'd expect this rule to be configurable by perhaps Program, Facility, etc.
  • I would expect that within a Program, the rule (or policy) could change over time, how would that be done (Fowler has a class diagram of how the active policy is found by date - likely the date a person says they did something to stock)

Decision: bring to PC. Get decisions on the above questions. Share with team and start designing.

• All reasons belong to the full reason list, can we merge these two stories? Yes
• What would be the permission for the read API,
• Do we need the write API for source/destination configuration
  
  Decision: create a new view right under the supervisory right type and a new view right under the general_admin right type

• As for an event which includes the facility type ID and program ID, do we need to check if that facility type supports that program ID?

• Do we need to support the extensible for reason type and reason category? This request is coming from Fisheye review.

• Onboard materials for QA?
• Any defined QA process/test process we should follow?
