Proposed Features

These features are not prioritized and have not been confirmed by the community for version 3.7. They are listed here along with any supporting epics and documentation. See PC: April 23 2019 for the notes on the initial discussion of these features.

Batch Approval - Refining the existing feature. Ability to select and process multiple requisitions. Add ability to select more than 10 requisitions (at least 80), also need to reduce the amount of data transmitted
- Epic: MW-708 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Documentation:
  - Batch Requisition Approval
  - /wiki/spaces/MW/pages/161677594
Offline for Stock Mgmt - Stock management does not currently support offline functionality, this would include determining what to support and how.
- Will the simple approach used for Requisitions work for Stock Management?
- This will likely require a deeper discussion to properly design
- Epic: OLMIS-1621 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Documentation:
Demo-data - Need better data for demoing the system, currently contains a lot of automatically generated data. Would likely split the dataset into demo data and testing/performance data
- Epic: OLMIS-4658 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Documentation:
  - Demo Data for fun and profit
Admin screen wizards - Configuration UI to help with the setup or update of OpenLMIS. Areas that might be improved include facility and product configuration
- Perhaps something like 'OLMIS doctor' (a la 'brew doctor') - OLMIS-5124 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Epic: OLMIS-5120 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Documentation:
  - 2018-09-20 Configuration Improvements Discussion
Administrative messages - System-level messages to users (discussed in PC: April 9 2019)

- Documentation:
  - /wiki/spaces/OpenLMISAngola/pages/526614712
Stock Management Performance (with Angola team) - There is a lot of low-hanging fruit here! Will have to identify which screens to focus on and create a plan for addressing all of the known performance issues
- Epic: OLMIS-3814 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Documentation:
  - Future performance enhancement of stock management
Products in Multiple Programs
- Specifically for Requisitions and Reports (and Stock Management?)
- May have to consider GS1
- How would product updates work? Would they update all programs or just a single?
Expansions to Kitting Functionality
- From the Configuration Guide: "OpenLMIS 3.0 does not currently support more advanced workflows for kits, such as: creating your own GTIN and publishing your kit via a GDSN data provider; connecting the contents inside the kit with the kit itself; tracking lots or batches once they are re-packaged inside a kit. For more about kit-related functionality that may be added in the future, see Working Notes on Products, Kits, Packaging."
Program Data Collection
- Epic: OLMIS-549 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Documentation:
Offline Reporting - Generated online but accessible offline (in some form)

Proposed Feature Priorities

Feature	Priority	Size	Comments
Update/Version of Orderables	High	Medium	The lack of updatable orderables results in significant time spent each month to manually process product updates for country implementations
Stock Management Performance	High		The Angola team has already started working on this and it is not clear what, if anything, will need to be contributed by the core team
Admin-Screen Wizards	High	Medium	There seems to be a lot of interest from the community on this feature
Administrative Messages	Medium	Small
Product Aliases	Medium	Medium
Demo Data	Medium	Large (??)
Tracer Products	Medium	Large (??)
Batch Approval	Medium	Large
Stock Management Offline	Medium	Extra Large	This is a complex task and would almost certainly be a large-sized epic.
Expansions to Kitting Functionality	Medium	Large
Program Data Collection	Medium	Large (??)	Can this feature be broken down into smaller amounts of work? For specific programs? This has been identified as a key gap to be able to utilize OLMIS for certain projects.
