+ | ===== Changing an item's name and pack size ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There may come a time when you decide that you need to change the name and pack size of an item. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP center round box> | ||
+ | For example, Malaria RDTs (Rapid Diagnostic Tests) are commonly packed in packets with 25 tests in each pack. The packs can not really be broken down further in the supply chain, and it will only be opened at the last mile service delivery point. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) for Malaria, Pack/25** with a default pack size of **1**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | This works fine until your Malaria Programme team have advised you that they prefer to count the individual test in such a way that it matches the number of patients that need to be tested. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) for Malaria** with a default pack size of **25**. | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP center round important 60%> | ||
+ | * Changing the Item name and pack size is the easy bit. The challenge is that all existing stocks need to be recounted with resulting inventory adjustments. | ||
+ | * If your system is of any substantial size, you will want to consult with stakeholders to plan a smooth transition. | ||
+ | * After a change such as this, all historic issuance / AMC records will be 25 time //less// than future issuance AMC records | ||

+ | ==== Changing the item ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the item is currently described as: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ... with a pack size of **1**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP center round tip 60%> | ||
+ | In this example, the Item code = 732401. | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Edit the item (you will need [[admin: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the Storage tab, replace the **Preferred pack size** of '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click **OK** | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Carry out stock takes and inventory adjustments ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create a New stock take for Item code starts with '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | This reveals that there are **58** packs in the store with pack size = **1**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | To correct this, we need to: | ||
+ | - Add a New line | ||
+ | - 732401 <Tab> | ||
+ | - Select the line of the existing stock line (see that the Stock on hand = 58) | ||
+ | - Click on the button to use details of this existing stock line | ||
+ | - Set stock take qty = 58 | ||
+ | - Set Pack size = 25 | ||
+ | - Set Stock stock location to the same as the existing stock line | ||
+ | - Click **Add new** | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | With the resulting stock take: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - We give the stock take a useful title | ||
+ | - We update the **Enter Quantity** details of the the original stock line to '' | ||
+ | - Carry out a stock count to ensure that the stock on the shelves matches the newly added line and make any necessary adjustments in the **Enter Quantity** column. | ||
+ | - Click the **Create Inventory adjustments** button to finalise the stock take. | ||
