Purpose and Benefits
Bahmni uses Odoo mostly for Sales Management, Purchase Management, and for Inventory and Accounting. OpenERP has been adapted for health facilities to work seamlessly with Bahmni.
Since Bahmni is based on Odoo/OpenERP, you can also refer to the Odoo documentation for in-depth information on Warehouse Management. Or here: https://doc.odoo.com/book/#books-link
Steps
1. Configure OpenERP/Odo
Please refer to this link on details to Configure OpenERP/Odoo.
2. Setup Syncing between Odoo and Bahmni
Please refer to this link to setup Syncing between OpenERP/Odoo and Bahmni.
3. Configure Location, Warehouse and Shop

4. View Inventory at Different Locations
Since we have different locations we can analyze the current inventory or inventory over a date-range.
To do this navigate to Warehouse → Choose location → Select the required option.
A new location can be created by clicking on the "Create" button and giving appropriate parameters.

5. 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.

6. 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.
For example, 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.

7. Move Stock 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.
