| ^ Sort available batches by VVM status rather than Expiry | When issuing stock, this will sort the list of available batches by vaccine status first, then by expiry date rather than by expiry date first (e.g. [[issuing_goods:issuing_goods_customer_invoice#selecting_from_stock_lines|8.01.

| ^ Patients created in other stores not visible in this store| If this is checked, patients that are created in other stores across all sites will not be visible in this store. If it is **off**, all patients from all stores from all sites will be visible to this store. It is set to true by default when a store is created. **USE CAUTION:** Turning this **OFF** for many stores does not scale well and can overload the sync system.

| Also called <wrap em>Buffer stock</wrap>, this is the number of months of stock that an item must have less of, to be considered understocked i.e. in danger of not having enough to meet demand. An alert is triggered for an item is the total quantity in stock(including all batches) divided by the average monthly consumption of the item (calculated using the last 12 months' usage in the current store) is less than or equal to this threshold number. The default is 3 months.<WRAP center round tip> | Also called <wrap em>Buffer stock</wrap>, this is the number of months of stock that an item must have less of, to be considered understocked i.e. in danger of not having enough to meet demand. An alert is triggered for an item is the total quantity in stock (including all stock lines) divided by the AMC of the item (calculated using the last 12 months' usage in the current store) is less than or equal to this threshold number. The default is 3 months.<WRAP center round tip> |
| This alert should only be triggered when your stock levels fall below your buffer stock levels. Based on the formula developed in [[purchasing:ordering_from_suppliers#calculate_required_stock_quantity|Calculating the required stock quantity]], <wrap em>Buffer stock (months) = 2 x Ordering cycle</wrap>. The default value of 3 is suitable for a store with a 6-weekly order cycle. For a central store with an annual order cycle, then this figure should be set to <wrap em>24</wrap>. That is a lot of space for a national store with several thousand items :-/ | This alert should only be triggered when your stock levels fall below your buffer stock levels.
