Batch Number Variable

Is there a variable for batch numbers linked to a product to be able to be inserted into vaccination certificates?  Certificates are printed at check out at finalisation of account by which time the little bottle is in the bin, not easily retrievable and the next client is already in consult.

This is supported. In an OpenOffice template, you can use a User Field e.g.:

  • Name: batch
  • Value: [openvpms:get(., 'invoiceItem.source.batch.entity.name')]

See the attached example for its use.

 

Note that the template must be attached to the vaccination product so that the certificate is generated when the vaccination is invoiced. This links the certificate to the invoice item, enabling the batch to be located.

I've updated the example above to include the manufacturer and batch expiry date.

I've updated the page at https://www.openvpms.org/document-merging-open-office-writer to add fields for batch number, batch expiry date and batch product manufacturer.

HTH.
