Inventory application constants.

Constants used in inventory models¶

TRANSACTION_TYPE_CHOICES: Except 1 (input of items) and 8 (actual count of items), all other values are negative for computing the stock.
DRUG_LIST_CHOICES: Corresponds to French medicine classification.
DRUG_FORM_CHOICES: All available medicine galenic forms.
DRUG_ROA_CHOICES: All medicine route of administration possibilities.
PACKING_CHOICES: Item packaging possibilities (in example, for counting by boxes, pairs…)

Transaction Type Choices¶

These values are used for computing the current stock from the quantity transactions.

When receiving an article (thus adding an item), the transaction value is 1 (input). The quantity is positive. In all other (used/perished/other…) the quantity is considered as negative.

The “stock count” transaction (value 8) correspond to an actual counting of the item. There is no addition/subtraction, the item quantity is considered as reference.

Examples:

Transaction type: 1 - Quantity: 10
Transaction type: 2 - Quantity:  1
Transaction type: 2 - Quantity:  3
==> Remaning: .................  6

With “stock count”:

Transaction type: 1 - Quantity: 20
Transaction type: 2 - Quantity:  4
Transaction type: 8 - Quantity:  7
==> Remaning: .................  7

Packing Choices¶

Numbering of choice ID is specific and important as starting >= 20 it defines the packing content.

ID values above 20 are divided by 10 and truncated (ie.: 3.9 means 3).

Examples:

                       ID    Formula    Result
----------------------------------------------
"pair" means 2         20      20/10 =>      2
"set of two" means 2   21      21/10 =>      2
"dozen" means 12      120     120/10 =>     12
