User Guidelines - Requests

Thee Request Application in Sahana Eden can be used for managing requests for Items, Assets and Human Resources.

Requests

Requests can be made from any Site (Office, Warehouse, Hospital, Shelter, eg). Requests may include the following types of resources:

• Items (Consumables, eg. Food, Medical Supplies). More information on Items can be found UserGuidelines/Supplies.
• Asset (Coming soon)
• Human Resources (Coming soon)

User can only make requests for sites which they have permissions for.

Request Status

Commit

This represents the commitments which have been to meet this request. This is simply a promise or a pledge and does not represent any action to meet the request.

Transit

This represents that resource have been sent (but have not yet arrived) to meet the request.

Fulfil

This represents that resource have arrived which meet the request. Once all of the resources in a request have been fulfilled, it can be considered to be closed.

This allows sites to commit to meet request and track existing commitments.

Shipments of items to send can automatically be generated from commitments.
