As is being discussed there, the there was a bug resolved in mobile in 2018 where it had been treating cross reference items just like a normal item and some users used them like a normal item.
So the problem is a data issue, fortunately it seems to affect very few records across our users.
So this issue perhaps has two directions:
For the rust devs, it's mSupply's equivalent to aliasing a type 😉.
@jmbrunskill this may be useful for GAPS? the ability to have a cross-reference item for the Immunisation program
Setting to low priority. But @mark-prins will double check. Maybe to do with item variants?
Bumping up the priority a bit - as we'll need this in place when oms central server comes to town. DJ are using cross reference items
Potentially fixed in og central, would be good to verify at some point (what is fixed ? stock lines linked to cross reference, by footrunner)
Triage, setting high priority to make sure we don't miss it in the next available slot
Legacy mSupply supports items of type
cross_reference
.Cross references
refer to alternate names for a certain item, for example,Acetylsalicylic Acid
can also be known asAspirin
.Also see for more information about cross references in mSupply: https://docs.msupply.org.nz/items:adding_a_new_item?s[]=cross&s[]=reference#cross_reference_items
Describe the solution you'd like 🎁
Below tasks can be broken down into separate issues:
alias
then thenormal
item should be saved NOT thecross-reference
itemnormal
item name should be displayed not any alias it may go underDescribe alternatives you've considered 💭
