mSupply allows you to easily issue goods in a FEFO (First expiry, first out) manner. It works through a graphical interface that is easy for people not experienced with computers to learn. It automatically sorts stock to be issued by expiry date, so “FEFO” (first expiry, first out) is easily applied.

Before you place an order, there’s a whole lot of work that mSupply helps you with. mSupply automatically determines how much you need to order using proven methods of calculation. It does so on the basis of actual usage and stock levels – you don’t have to set minimum and maximum stock levels manually.

mSupply supports both Transactional and Report & Requisition (R&R) models of ordering stock via a Logistics Management Information System (LMIS).

In a Transactional model, users enter invoices for every item entering or leaving their store. mSupply keeps track of stock on hand and consumption, and calculates suggested order quantities based on this data.

In a Report & Requisition (R&R) model, users complete a monthly or quarterly report in mSupply with the following data for each item:

• Opening stock: A
• Received stock: B
• Issued stock: C
• Stock adjustments: D, where a negative number is a stock reduction

Consumption and order quantities are then manually calculated and entered in mSupply using the following formulae:

• Consumption = A + B + D – C
• Order Quantity = Target Months of Stock x Consumption – Stock on Hand

If you run tenders, mSupply even has a tender management module that allows you to run a formal tender round, sending letters to suppliers, collecting responses, comparing prices per item, and awarding each item to a particular supplier.

Since 2006 mSupply’s tender management capabilities have been steadily expanded to include the following features:

- Unlimited tenders
- Price comparison
- Automatically adjusts for pack size, currency and freight differences
- Handle sets of standard conditions you apply to different tenders
- Print invitation to bid and acceptance letter documents
- Attach supplier-submitted documents (Word, Excel, PDF, etc) to a tender and have them viewable by any user with permission.
- Automatically turn tenders with accepted lines into a purchase order for each supplier

If you don’t want to run formal tenders, mSupply’s quotation comparison system provides an informal way of comparing quotations from suppliers. Prices submitted by suppliers are adjusted for freight charges, currency and pack size to give a quick comparison of prices from anywhere in the world.
