User can track loose diapers for intake using a digital scale #3
Comments
I'm going to take a crack at this in the next few days and since we're lucky to have the heavy lifting part of the code finished we'll just need the weights (I'll use fake weights for the time being.)
All of this makes sense but I think there are a couple of missing pieces here. They are:

It makes sense that you don't want to reset the storage location every time. Especially for this task because if you are weight diapers then you have them at the facility you are located in (assumption). Maybe they could set it once and we can re-use that value for each subsequent bulk input. Maybe we could store it in a cookie and have it be defaulted to that value until the user changes it. I know @pdxdiaperbank did some research on this. I believe she averaged the weight of the different brands for the diaper type. So the understanding was that there would be some possible acceptable error for inputting bulk amounts, but that error was negligible when it comes to distributing diapers. They don't seem to be worried by bulk quantities that are off by small single digits. Rachel, feel free to call me out if I'm way off base here. As far as the rest of it goes, all I have to say is |
I remember this discussion as well, re: the average weight issue. @pdxdiaperbank had said that they would just get a bag of diapers, weigh them out, and then that bag would basically stay sealed until it was disbursed. So as far as the system is concerned, when they are ready to distribute that bag, they'll just look at the bag, see that it says "50 diapers" and then punch that into the system as "I'm removing 50 diapers". If the bag actually contains 51 or 49, it won't ruin the integrity of the system. It might be useful to have something in this system that prepares a "weigh-label" that can be printed off when they do weighing intake. Unless that process is different for other foodbanks. Even so -- the quantities they're moving are so massively huge that 1 diaper here and there isn't likely to make a huge impact in their totals. |
I think we should close this since we have 2 issues for this. This one and the one for the testing/updating. |
Merging this into #117 |
A user should be able to add loose inventory via weighing the product on a scale. Here are the notes from the previous year:
[* Rachel also mentioned "count", though I'm not clear on what that's referring to]
