Goals/Scope

This functionality seeks to provide users of the system a way to keep track of product and conduct stock management through an electronic stock card. This should captures movements in and out of stock, as well at reasons for stockout and other relevant information. Successful acceptance of this functionality would involve the following:

Enter vaccine stock data, capture stock movements (amount, history, received stock.) The electronic stock card feature is used to mirror the physical cards that sit in storeroom bins and serve as a log of all past ins and outs for each commodity in the storeroom. Each stock card should contains all transactions for each batch of the commodity.

Background

Effective vaccine management requires accurate stock management information in order to track stock levels and ultimately using the information to predict and avoid stockouts.

Forecasting/Needs estimation can be calculated using:

    • Configure stock card template for UI viewing
    • Conduct a physical stock count on a schedule
    • Track ins/outs of stock
      • Transfer in/out (to/from a facility within OpenLMIS and out)
      • Adjustments
    • View stock cards and stock on hand
    • Historical movements/corrections
    • Notifications on low stock

Configure fields on the electronic stock card


As an OpenLMIS implementer, I want to set-up the stock card to specify which fields to display, the name of each field and the order of the fields so that the stock card is easy to navigate and relevant to OpenLMIS users in my implementation managing their stock at a facility.

  • For each Program-Facility Type combination, the following fields are available to choose from when designing a stock card template:
    (Header Options)

    • Facility Name (required)
    • Product name (required)
    • Packsize (optional)
    • Program (required) -
    • Donor (optional) - text string
    • Unit of issue (required) - dispensing unit
    • Stock on Hand (required) - same as balance and is calculated based on the beginning balance, issued, received, and adjustments. see SOH for requisitions. If needed we may need to make separate sub tasks or tickets to break this out.
    • Max Months of Stock
    • Min Months of Stock

**Need to make sure we have consensus on the titles to be used**

** Already built in 3.1**

2Create electronic stock cards for a facility

As a storeroom manager, I want to see electronic stock cards for all my products when my facility is set up so I can begin tracking stock movements at my facility.

Being able to view by facility (and geographical area?) is an important requirement of this story.


OLMIS-1431

SIILMust Have

1. When implementer initially configures the master product list and associates products to facility types, a blank electronic stock card is generated for all of the facility approved products.

  • Whatever information - such as product name, program, etc. - is available from the product list should be pre-populated. Everything else should be blank.

2. When a new product is added to a facility's product list, a blank electronic stock card is created for the product

  • Whatever information - such as product name, program, etc. - is available from the product list should be pre-populated. Everything else should be blank.

** Already built in 3.1**

3View current electronic stock card for a product

As a storeroom manager, I want to be able to see the electronic stock card with all transactions for a product that exists at my facility so that I can see what transactions contributed to my current stock on hand for that product.

OLMIS-625

SIILMust Have

Scope out:

  • User accesses the electronic stock card through the View SOH by program/facility page
  • Min and Max month calculation
  • Activities are listed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent activity first
4Conduct physical stock count

As a storeroom manager I want to be able to make adjustments to vaccines in my inventory via a process that mimics the physical stock count I perform so that I can keep my electronic inventory synced with my physical inventory.

Acceptance criteria

1. Display list of products, current SOH quantities, and programs

  • Display donor if information is being collected/displayed on the electronic stock card

2. User can sort list by product name, program name, or SOH

3. User can search by product name

  • Allow search by lot number if lot management is “on”

4. User enters physical stock on hand for selected products

5. User also enters the following information:

  • Date of movement (pre-populated as the current date)
  • Document number (only if selected by the implementor in  OLMIS-706 DONE )
  • Signature (only if selected by the implementor in  OLMIS-706 DONE )

Looking forward:

If lot management is "on", physical count will need to be done by lot.

  • Display lot numbers and quantities in each lot along with list of products
  • Allow searching by lot number to select products
5Make stock adjustment

As a storeroom manager I want to make adjustments/changes to the information on the electronic stock card so that I can record any changes that have occurred in my actual stock (ensuring that my electronic and physical stock amounts are the same)

Should include: Date, quantity, reason fields (mandatory); reason itself will tell debit or credit

6Perform ad-hoc receipt/issue

As a storeroom manager I want to be able to perform an ad hoc receipt/issue to record vaccine movements that were not part of the routine process so that I can keep my electronic inventory up to date.

7Print stock card

As a store room manager, I want to print out electronic stock card so I can store the paper format copy and/or provide it to auditors who need to see a physical copy.

8Record historical stock activities

As a store room manager, I want to record information on stock movements that happened in the past (i.e. in a non-chronological order) so that I can capture the full scope of stock movements through my storeroom.

Implementers will have the option to select the cut off for how far back users can enter historical movements.

  • Last physical stock count
  • Last requisition
  • This month
  • Previous month

See comments on  OLMIS-634 TO DO for more context on the story. Notes on example implementations:

  • Zambia: users are able to enter historical movements up till the last physical stock count
  • VIMS: users are allowed to; initial set up was anything in the current month (i.e. if it is 13 Jan, allow movements to be entered starting from 1 Jan). Eventually -based on user feedback/behaviour - this was extended to the previous month as well (i.e. if it is 13 Jan, allow movements to be entered starting from 1 Dec)
  • Mozambique: users are not allowed to enter historical movements

Open Questions

Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:

#QuestionOutcomeStatus
1In terms of personas, the DIVO, storeroom manager, and intermediate level logistician all record stock movements and monitor stockouts. Should they be called out separately in the user stories?

2Should we address lot management in v3.3?

3Adding stories on bundling orderables/products (kits)
