v4.01 (17 Dec, 2018)

New Features

Version 4.01 is our biggest release in several years.
There are several significant features:

• Change to 64 bit architecture. This is the biggest internal change to mSupply in a decade. It means:
  • Much faster operations – some reports are 10 times as fast
  • Ability to use RAM > 2 Gb for caching, which facilitates the increase in speed
  • Better support for modern operating systems
  • Version 4 (and following) WILL NOT RUN on 32 bit systems – please check here before upgrading
• Much improved internal orders from one store to another:
  • There is a new “internal order” form and logic for placing orders from one store to another. This improves workflows, allows better capture of unmet demand, and is much faster [8791]. View the user guide here
  • If you still use Purchase Orders for internal ordering, that’s still possible, but in the supplying store a requisition is now made, allowing you to easily supply the order over multiple customer invoices. When the stock is received in the requesting store, a goods receipt is still made, but pricing information now flows through correctly. View the user guide here
• Days out of stock, Stock on hand and Average monthly consumption (AMC) are now pre-calculated using a DHIS2 style aggregation table. Many reports now run much faster.
• We have two new web applications
  • The Stock web app allows you to quickly view stock in a warehouse from a phone, tablet or laptop. View the user guide here
  • The Authorisation web app means that if managers or heads of department need to approve receipts, supplies or orders, they can do so from their phone or computer. [8919]. View the user guide here
• Translation into Khmer language.
• Full support for Unicode input into fields.
• Email notifications: if you want to run a report on a schedule and email it to a user or group of users, mSupply can now do this. If there are multiple reports for the same user, they’ll be put into a single Excel spreadsheet as different workbooks. [8794]. View the user guide here

There’s some minor features too:

• User permission report – Spin the store names to 90 degrees [8444]
• Cambodia: Response requisition have the requested quantity filled out automatically [8889]
• Item name: increased to 255 characters [9060]
