Ozni reads the same Inventory screens you do, with the same rules. It can only tell you about stock your role can see, and it can only prepare changes your role can make.

Asking what is on the shelf

Ask what is low, what expires soon, what moved, what a count found, which purchase orders are open, which recalls are open, what is waiting to be filled, or what the fridge readings were.
  • Every stock figure shows when it was read. If you ask again later, Ozni reads it again. It does not reuse an old number.
  • A fridge reading that is more than a day old is called old, not current.
  • Costs show only to people allowed to see them. For everyone else a cost is a dash, and Ozni does not work it out from other figures.
  • A recall can list the clients who received the recalled stock, only as the Recalls screen would show them to you.

Changes Ozni can prepare

Ozni prepares a Confirm card for each of these. Nothing changes until you confirm.
  • Add or change an item, archive or restore it, or change reorder levels or prices for up to 50 items at once. A change to more than 10 items is a larger request, and Ozni tells you the price first. See Credits.
  • Add or change a storage location.
  • Receive a delivery and move stock between locations. Receiving cannot be undone here. A mistake is corrected with an adjustment or a count.
  • Start a purchase order as a draft, submit a draft or cancel one. Ozni never emails a purchase order to a supplier.
  • Open a stock count, save counted quantities, and approve it. The approval card lists every difference with its value before you confirm. A count of more than 500 lines is not approved here: Ozni tells you, and you approve it on the Inventory screen.
  • Change which stock items a service uses. This replaces the whole list, and the card says so.
  • Reorder what is low. Ozni builds one draft purchase order for each supplier from the items under their reorder level. You review and submit them yourself.

What stays on the Inventory screen

Ozni never dispenses, fills a prescription from stock, wastes or writes off stock, deletes an item, validates a lot, rings up a sale, files a vaccine report or uses stock for an appointment. Counts and transfers of controlled medicines, and anything that needs a witness, are done on the Inventory screen with the witness signing in.
