About the Feature

Bahmni uses openERP/Odoo predominantly for Sales Management, Purchase Management, and for Inventory and Accounting. openERP has also been adapted for healthcare management, to work seamlessly with Bahmni.

• Procure products from a supplier, and break these up in batches using 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:
  
  • Purchase Report
  • Stock Movement Report
  • Inventory Status Report
