= Blue Print - Requests =
[[TOC]]

== Introduction ==
Sahana Eden needs to be able to manage requests for:
* Items (Supplies)
* Assets
* People
* Shelter

This requires tracking requests, commitments to fulfill requests and the final fulfillment of requests.

== Current Status ==
* UserGuidelines/Logistics
* Requests can be created for Items or Skills (or named People)
* Requests have to be made for a Site/Facility
* Requests can optionally have a Commit stage before fulfillment
* Fulfillment can link straight to Shipments
* Recurring Requests can be scheduled

== To Do ==
* Complete support for Assets
* Add support for Shelter

=== Estimation ===
* For Shelters #families/#people => Auto Calculate !Food/Water/Toiletries for base recurring requests
* Values are stored in localisable Scenario Templates
* Reports created to allow comparison of templates against historical data

=== Notes from Pakistan ===
* Default Items' Pack Value to a value in the Catalog & allow manual updating to actual if-necessary
 * Doc: in a Procurement system, this is the max price that the budget holder (approver) is authorising, so they need to be checked back with before purchasing if the price is higher.
* Imperial vs. metric UoM
* Add more help to the req_item_inv_item page
* Add Assets to Requests (as Components)
* Remove req_item_id from inv_send and inv_recv. This link was used to show which shipments we meeting a request. Use a resource link instead.
* Adjust the commit button so that it only appears for un-fulfiled commitments
* Create a better work-flow link from Req -> Commit -> Send -> Recv
 * Disable a single commitment to sent multiple times
* Functionality to show requests which can be fulfilled by the items in a inventory (and perhaps visa versa).
* Ensure that only one packet per item can have a quantity = 1 (and thus be the unit of measure for that item)
* Request Timetable options?
 * 'Immediate'
* Add Unique ID numbers to transactions [Site Code]-[Sequential Number]?
