Project description: 

This project will:

  • display a warning message in charges if a selected product has no stock
  • display the On Hand quantity in customer charges and supplier orders
  • display an On Hand column in the Items table after the Quantity column
  • display a warning message if an order contains duplicate products

Out of stock warning message

An out of stock warning message will be displayed in customer charges if:

  • a product is selected that has no stock
  • the entered quantity exceeds the available stock

The message will display the no. of items out of stock. E.g.:

On Hand Quantity

The On Hand quantity will be displayed next to the Quantity field, in both customer charges and supplier orders. E.g.:

On Hand column

For charges and supplier orders, an On Hand column will be added to the Items table, to indicate the current On Hand quantity.

For charges, if a Quantity exceeds the On Hand quantity, the On Hand quantity will be displayed with a red background.

Duplicate order item warning message

If a supplier order contains duplicate items, a message indicating the first duplicate will be displayed e.g.:

Acepromazine 25mg Tablets appears in the order 2 times.

Duplicate checks will be performed when:

  • editing an existing order
  • an item is added or deleted

Re: Out of stock warning

Hi Tim,

This will be just a warning prompt right? What if the QOH level was actually incorrect for whatever reason. Can we still proceed to invoice the item when the product is found to be in stock or if the client wants to pay for it first just for example?

Re: Out of stock warning

Thats right - the warning is to inform only, not prevent selection of a product.

I've updated the spec to clarify this.

Re: Out of stock warning

Would it be possible to have the stock on hand level visible when invoicing any item, rather than it only giving you a warning message when you are in negative quantities?

This would also be valuable when ordering to be able to see the current stock on hand of each item.

Thanks, Asha.

Re: Out of stock warning

Hi Tim,

Some of the team leaders were discussing the importance of this yesterday with the following three items:

  1. Stock on hand level visible when invoicing any item
  2. Stock on hand level visible when ordering
  3. Warning message appears when adding an item to the order that already appears on there

Would it be possible to incorporate these into the one development or are they separate items?

Thanks,

Asha.

Re: Out of stock warning

Hi Asha,

these requirements should now be covered by the specification.
