Reporting - Consumption Report
Goals/Scope
The Consumption Report is used for planning for MSD procurement and for transfers from central MSD to MSD zones. It is also used for budgeting.
Status in eLMIS: In eLMIS
Status in OpenLMIS: Not implemented within OpenLMIS, can be created in Tableau
Priority: High priority
Background
Displays the total consumption of product(s) selected in the selected period.
Use:
- District use and up (above facility)
- Biggest uses - quantification and forecasting
- If rationing commodities - see where most things are consumed
- Comparison of consumption with service statistics
- To track abnormal uses of consumption (esp. if looking at trends)
- This data is used for dashboards
- Consumption def. varies - commonly either "issues" - from the store to patient/ward/lab/ etc. OR "dispensed" if country or program actually tracks to the patient/client dispensing data; but should be limited to SDPs (ex. if a district or province warehouse does an R&R and then their "issues" are not counted as consumption)
- Consumption then converted into "packs"
- Adjusted consumption - based on # of days stocked out
The consumption report shows:
- product code
- product name
- amounts consumed in units of dispensing
- amounts consumed in number of packs
- adjusted consumption (adjusted for new patients or for stockout days depending on the program).
Parameters:
program
schedule
year
period (which can be an A / B / C quarter period)
geographic filter which can be entire country or a subset
product category filter (optional) - eg antibiotics, antimalarials etc
product filter (optional)
Assumptions

User Stories
# | Title | User Story | Label | Importance | Notes |

Open Questions
Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:
# | Question | Outcome | Status |
---|---|---|---|
1 | A District Consumption Comparison report is mentioned elsewhere in the gap analysis document. Is this also a Tanzania gap? "Displays consumption comparison across multiple districts. The comparison is represented by % i.e. total consumption of district x/total consumption of all districts * 100." | Yes, It is a gap in Tanzania | |
2 | For Tanzania user stories: review the users, "so thats" added, review the label, and review the priority level. | ||

Gap Estimation Notes 4/12/2018
- To handle stock-out days, we need to "rationalize" or harmonize two different kinds of stock-out-days data in OpenLMIS v3. This could be a dependency.
