Purpose and Benefits

Bahmni uses openERP/Odoo mostly for Sales Management, Purchase Management, and for Inventory and Accounting. openERP has been adapted slightly for health facilities to work seamlessly with Bahmni.

Stock/Inventory Management allows installations to:

  • Procure products from a supplier, and break these up by batches having their expiry dates. 
  • Sell products from a shop which is mapped to a warehouse 
  • Move stock units between different stocking points and warehouses
  • View the current stock levels by products
  • Automatically reduce stock of product batch quantities when patient pays for the invoice comprising products (via the billing function)
  • Generate various reports such as:
    • Purchases
    • Stock Movement
    • Inventory Status

Since Bahmni is based on Odoo/OpenERP, you can also refer to the Odoo documentation for in-depth information on Warehouse Management.

 

Features with Steps(whenever required)

1. View Inventory at Different Locations

Since we have different locations we can analyze the current inventory or inventory over a date-range. This can be done by navigating to warehouse, choose location and then select the required option from the drop down menu.

  • A new location can be created by clicking on the "Create" button and giving appropriate parameters.

2. View Product Quantity at a Particular Location

Search for the product in the search bar to view the actual stock and the future stock for the particular location. Future stock equals actual stock once the stock units are delivered.

Drug Orders created in openMRS sync as products in openERP.

3. View Batch Level Stock Units Per Location

Navigate to "Serial Number by Location" to view batch level stock units per location. openERP does a double entry of drugs such as when a drug is ordered, it is reduced at the stock location, and increases correspondingly at the customer location so that the drug quantities balance-out.

4. Stock Movements across Locations

This is used to move stock units across locations, such as X units of Aceclofenac from Stock Room to Pharmacy. This can be achieved by creating a new internal move from a configured source location to a configured destination location.
