To manage supplies inventory in OpenSpecimen, super admins can set up supplies with details of the site, collection protocol, procurement date, expiry date etc. Each supply can be restricted to specific sites and/or collection protocols to make sure that the supply is utilized within that site and/or CP. Two types of supplies can be created based on the supply types.

  1. Supplies with barcoded items 
  2. Supplies without barcoded items

The items can be added to the supply by scanning the barcode for each item both during and after creating the supply. When visits or specimens are collected with matching barcodes, the supply is automatically marked as utilized.

If CP restriction is not set at the supply type level, the user can set restrictions while creating a supply. Once the site is selected, a field for collection protocol is displayed. The user can add multiple CPs from the corresponding site.
