- Stock below minimum level
- Stock above maximum level
3.1.5 การแจ้งเตือน
- ❌ Low stock alerts
- ❌ Out of stock alerts
- ❌ Insufficient stock warnings during transfer/issue
Recommendations
- Implement stock level alerting system with configurable thresholds
- Add return receipt flows (from departments, between warehouses)
- Create dashboard widgets for stock alerts and reorder suggestions
3.2 การขอเบิกพัสดุ (Internal Requisition)
Status: ❌ Not Implemented (0%)
Required Features (All Missing)
3.2.1 การสร้างใบขอเบิก (Requisition Creation)
- ❌ No requisition entity or workflow
- ❌ Cannot create requisition from sub-warehouse to main warehouse
- ❌ Cannot create requisition from department to equipment warehouse
- ❌ No document numbering system for requisitions
- ❌ No urgent/normal priority flags
3.2.2 การเลือกรายการเบิก (Item Selection)
- ❌ No item selection for requisition
- ❌ No "Load items below Safety Level" feature
- ❌ No "Load items below Max Level" feature
- ❌ No unit of measure selection (base/packing)
3.2.3 การอนุมัติใบขอเบิก (Requisition Approval)

- ❌ No approval authority configuration
- ❌ No approval status tracking
- ❌ No approval audit trail
- ❌ No document lock after approval
3.2.4 การค้นหาและติดตาม (Search and Tracking)
- ❌ No requisition search functionality
- ❌ Cannot track requisition by:
- Document type
- Source/destination warehouse
- Document number/date
- Requesting department
Current Workaround
The system currently has:
- ✅
InternalTransferOrderwhich serves a similar purpose but is initiated by the main warehouse, not by the requesting department - ⚠️ Frontend module
warehouse-requisitionsexists but contains only mock data
Gap Impact: HIGH
This is a critical workflow gap. In hospital environments, departments should initiate requisitions that are then approved and fulfilled by the central warehouse. The current transfer system is warehouse-centric rather than requisition-centric.
Recommendations
Priority: HIGH - Implement immediately
-
Create new entities:
InternalRequisition(header)InternalRequisitionLine(line items)InternalRequisitionStatusenum (Draft, Submitted, Approved, Rejected, PartiallyFulfilled, Fulfilled, Cancelled)
-
Implement workflow:
- Department creates requisition (Draft)
- Submit for approval (Submitted)
- Warehouse manager approves/rejects (Approved/Rejected)
- Warehouse creates transfer order from approved requisition (converts to InternalTransferOrder)
- Track fulfillment status
-
Add APIs:
POST /api/requisitions- Create requisitionPUT /api/requisitions/{id}- Edit draftPOST /api/requisitions/{id}/submit- Submit for approvalPOST /api/requisitions/{id}/approve- ApprovePOST /api/requisitions/{id}/reject- RejectPOST /api/requisitions/{id}/create-transfer- Convert to transfer orderGET /api/requisitions/workbench- List requisitions with filtering
-
Integrate with existing
InternalTransferOrdersystem for fulfillment
3.3 การจ่ายพัสดุออกจากคลัง (Stock Issue/Dispense)
Status: ❌ Not Implemented (10%)
✅ Implemented Features
Partial infrastructure:
- ✅
InventoryTransactionentity supports "Issue" transaction type - ✅
InternalTransferOrderhas picking workflow that reduces stock
❌ Missing Features
3.3.1 การดำเนินการจ่ายพัสดุ (Issue Operations)
- ❌ No direct issue document (separate from transfer)
- ❌ Cannot issue to departments without creating full transfer order
- ❌ No issue quantity adjustment (requested vs actually issued)
- ❌ Cannot create issue without requisition reference
3.3.2 ระบบอนุมัติใบโอนออก (Issue Approval System)
- ⚠️ Transfer orders have status workflow but no explicit "Issue Note" approval
- ❌ No automatic stock deduction upon approval (currently deducted on pick confirmation)
- ❌ No specific issue document that can be approved independently
3.3.3 การค้นหาและเอกสาร (Search and Documents)
- ❌ Cannot search specifically for "issue documents"
- ❌ No issue document copy functionality
- ❌ No approved issue document search
Current Workaround
- The system uses
InternalTransferOrderfor all stock movements, which combines requisition, issue, and transfer concepts into one workflow - Frontend module
warehouse-issuesexists but is mock only
Gap Impact: MEDIUM-HIGH
While technically stock can move using transfers, the requirement specifies separate "Issue" documents that:
- Can be created independently or from requisitions
- Have their own approval workflow
- Reduce stock immediately upon approval (not upon picking)
- Are distinct from transfer orders
Recommendations
Priority: MEDIUM - Implement after requisitions
Option 1: Enhance InternalTransferOrder (Simpler)
- Add
IssuedQuantityfield separate fromQuantityPicked - Add approval step that creates inventory transactions immediately
- Add filtering to distinguish "issues" from "transfers"
Option 2: Create Separate Issue Document (Matches requirements exactly)
- Create
StockIssueNoteentity - Link to
InternalRequisition(optional) - Approval workflow that creates
InventoryTransactionimmediately - Separate from physical picking/transfer workflow
Recommended: Option 2 - Better separation of concerns and matches hospital workflow
3.4 การรับพัสดุเข้าคลังย่อย (Sub-Warehouse Receipt)
Status: ❌ Not Implemented (5%)
✅ Implemented Features
Minimal infrastructure:
- ✅
InternalTransferOrderwithInTransitstatus suggests goods in transit - ✅
InventoryTransactioncan record receipts at destination
❌ Missing Features
3.4.1 การดำเนินการรับของ (Receipt Operations)
- ❌ No sub-warehouse receipt document entity
- ❌ Cannot search receipt documents by:
- Document type
- Source/destination warehouse
- Document number/date
- ❌ No "received quantity" confirmation by receiving department
- ❌ No discrepancy handling (ordered vs shipped vs received)
3.4.2 ระบบอนุมัติใบรับของโอน (Receipt Approval)
- ❌ No receipt approval workflow
- ❌ No document lock after approval
- ❌ Stock not added to sub-warehouse upon receipt confirmation
3.4.3 ผลลัพธ์การบันทึก (Receipt Results)
- ❌ Stock not increased in sub-warehouse upon receipt
- ❌ Delivery status not updated to "Received"
- ❌ No "pending receipt" queue for receiving departments
Current Situation
InternalTransferOrdergoes from Released → Picking → InTransit → Completed- The "Completed" status implies receipt but there's no explicit receipt confirmation by the receiving department
- Stock is likely increased when status changes to Completed, but no formal receipt document exists
Gap Impact: MEDIUM
The receiving department should actively confirm receipt and record any discrepancies. This is important for:
- Accountability (who received what when)
- Discrepancy resolution (damaged goods, wrong quantities)
- Audit trail
Recommendations
Priority: MEDIUM
-
Create new entity:
SubWarehouseReceiptNote- Links to
InternalTransferOrder - Status: Draft, Posted
- ExpectedQuantity, ReceivedQuantity, DiscrepancyReason
- ReceivedByEmployee, ReceivedDate
- Links to
-
Workflow:
- When
InternalTransferOrderreachesInTransitstatus, create draftSubWarehouseReceiptNote - Receiving department opens receipt note, confirms quantities
- Post receipt → creates inventory transaction → updates transfer status to Completed
- When
-
Add to
warehouse-sub-receiptsmodule (currently mock)
3.5 การโอนย้ายพัสดุระหว่างคลัง (Inter-Warehouse Transfer)

- ❌ No barcode scanning integration (UI exists but no device integration)
Frontend Gaps:
- ❌
warehouse-transfersmodule exists but only has mock data - ✅
warehouse-pickingmodule is fully implemented - ⚠️ No UI for transfer order creation (only picking interface exists)
Gap Impact: LOW-MEDIUM
The core transfer engine is solid. Main gaps are:
- Transfer order creation UI (requests come from somewhere)
- Document type taxonomy (borrow, return, transfer, move)
Recommendations
Priority: LOW - Minor enhancements
-
Implement
warehouse-transfersmodule for transfer order creation:- Browse existing transfers

Recommendations
Priority: HIGH - Implement progressively
Prioritization Strategy:
Tier 1: Essential Daily Operations (Implement First)
- Stock balance report (current)
- Stock card report
- Goods receipt report
- Stock issue report
- Low stock alert report
- Near-expiry report (7 months)
Tier 2: Management Reports (Next) 7. Stock movement summary 8. Stock value report 9. Receipt by vendor 10. Issue by department 11. Monthly stock report 12. Stock at date report
Tier 3: Compliance and Audit (Then) 13. Receipt inspection report 14. Adjustment report with reasons 15. Cycle count results 16. Item master change log 17. Transaction audit trail
Tier 4: Analytics (Finally) 18. ABC analysis 19. Slow-moving items 20. Stock turnover report 21. Demand forecasting 22. Price comparison
Implementation Approach:
Option A: Reporting Framework
- Use report designer (Crystal Reports, SSRS, Telerik)
- Create report templates
- Add report generation API endpoints
- Report viewer in frontend
Option B: Custom Report Builder
- Build custom report generator with PDF library (QuestPDF, iText)
- More flexible but more development work
- Better for web-based customization
Option C: Excel Export
- Quick solution: Export raw data to Excel
- Let users format/pivot
- Lower quality but fast to implement
Recommended: Option A or B depending on budget and long-term needs

Conclusion
The PIAM warehouse management system has a solid foundation with:
- ✅ Excellent inventory tracking infrastructure
- ✅ Well-implemented goods receipt workflow
- ✅ Strong cycle counting capability
- ✅ Good location and lot management
However, to meet the full requirements in doc/warehouse.txt, the following are critical gaps:
Must Implement (Phase 1):
- Internal Requisition - Core workflow missing
- Stock Issue - Outbound process incomplete
- Stock Adjustment - Cannot maintain accuracy
- Essential Reports - Management blind without these
Should Implement (Phase 2):
- Full Reporting Suite - Compliance and decision support
- Sub-Warehouse Receipts - Accountability and audit trail
- Alert System - Proactive stock management
Consider Implementing (Phase 3-4):
- Pharmacy Enhancements - If medical/hospital context
- Budget/Accounting Integration - If standalone system
- ASN and Advanced Features - If high-volume operations
The current implementation is approximately 50% complete against the full requirements specification.
