FW: [openlmis-dev] Demonstrating extensibility for 3.0: Approve requested quantities in packs
Mary Jo Kochendorfer
Hello PC,
I wanted to forward the following note from Josh on demonstrating extension points.
Please let us know if you have any thoughts or comments in response to our approach.
For more details on the example please review the ticket, here.

Hi everyone,
Achieving extensibility in OpenLMIS through Extension Points and Extension Modules is as we all know a core aspect to our
architecture. To date we have built a good example for the basic mechanism which is available in the Example Service
repository.
What's needed now is to show how a point of variance between previous releases of OpenLMIS could be solved using extensions in our new architecture. In doing this we'll be able to highlight within the community how we can support differing country needs without
forking the code-base. The team here in Seattle has been racking our brains on what point of variance we'd like to use to demonstrate this new mechanism. We've been looking for something that:
- was a point of variance between v1 and v2
- demonstrates the use of extension points & modules
- would provide a straightforward example for implementations to follow
What we've chosen is the feature in version 2 that allowed for a Requisition Template to be configured in such a way that an Approver would enter Approved Quantities in Packs rather than Dispensing Units. This feature seems to satisfy our criteria above quite well.
We'll be designing and slotting this work soon so your feedback would be appreciated: would demonstrating how to utilize an extension point from an extension module so that an Approver would enter the Approved Quantity in their Requisition in terms of Packs rather than Dispensing Units sufficiently show how Extension Points and Modules will be used to address country variance without forking the code?
Best,
Josh

Hi all,
Based on the fact that this is an enhancement request directly from users, this looks like a good test case to me.
If we are looking for a more complex extension point for a second test case, requiring a physical inventory prior to a initiating a requisition comes to mind.
Cheers,

Dear Mary Jo,
Reflecting on the Vaccine Information Management System implementation we have a combination of the vaccine packaging and loose vials that are multiplied to calculate the number of doses (see image below).
Is this something that would be supported through this type of extension point?
