Introduction
Inventory managent schema of the BMS is based on the ICIS Inventory
Management System. The ICIS Inventory Management System is
designed to manage inventory information for any entities, including
genetic resources and breeders seed stocks. Within BMS though the
main usage is to track the germplasm seed stocks.

Each Lot is defined by a unique combination of ETYPE, EID, LOCID and


SCALEID. The LOTID-ETYPE,EID relationship is a many to one
relationship since there any be many lots of the same entity stored in
different places or units. Each lot has a particular scale, for example
grams, kilograms, number of cans or number or packets, etc. The field
LOCID determines where the lot is stored. In the case of germplasm,
lots can be identified with different generations of a line having the
same GID but different storage location, or they can have different
GIDs but be in the same location. Locations may be as precise as
positions on a shelf, or as general as a single institute or even country.

The Transaction Table records inventory movement for each particular


LOTID. Any LOTID used in the Transaction table needs to be defined in
the Lot Table first. Each lot transaction has a transaction date and a
quantity which can be either positive or negative. A positive quantity
indicates that inventory is being put into the storage location and a
negative quantity indicates that inventory is being taken from storage
The field TRNSTAT indicates whether the Transaction is anticipated or
confirmed. The TRNSTAT value and the sign of TRNQTY define four
transaction types:
Transaction Transaction
Quantity When used
type status

Inventory is physically placed in the storage


Positive location defined by the LotID in the Lot Table.
Store 1 - committed
(+) The quantity deposited is added to the total
quantity shown as Available for users

Negative Inventory is physically taken from the storage


Remove 1 - committed
(-) location defined for the LotID in the Lot Table

Positive Inventory is NOT physically placed in storage


Deposit 0 - anticipated
(+) yet, but is shown as existing.

Seed is NOT physically taken from storage


Negative
Reserve 0 - anticipated location yet, but needs to be reserved for a
(-)
particular use
