Stock / Inventory Management

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.

Stock/Inventory Management allows medical facilities to:

• 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

Where is it Used?

Stock/Inventory Management comes into play when a order is generated which is to be fulfilled by a pharmacy. It is also used when Purchase Orders and Stock Movement and Inventory Status Reports are to be generated.

Benefits

• View and keep track of inventory across different locations, manage actual stock and future stock (future stock equals actual stock when it is delivered).
• View batch level stock of an item across various locations.
• Tracks the inventory of stock units and the movement of stock units from a central stock room to other locations such as pharmacy, OT, laboratory, etc. This is done via Stock Movement or Internal Moves in openERP.
• Enables inventory managers to raise appropriate purchase requests for inventory.
• Provides a view of inventory at a location such as a particular pharmacy.
• For each item in the quotation, the user can select the batch number from an available list of batch numbers. This ensures that invalid batch numbers are not entered.
• For each item in the quotation, the price entered is validated against the sale price configured for the product to ensure that price more than sale price is not entered.
