This page will be extended to cover information around building CommCare Supply mobile applications. For now, we just have a writeup on how to access product data in the phone. 

 

Accessing Product Data

CommCare Supply makes product data available through a fixture. For more details on how to work with fixtures, see: https://help.commcarehq.org/display/commcarepublic/Creating+and+Updating+Fixtures

Configuring Products: In CommCare Supply, there is no need to create a fixture for products. This is done automatically once the user has configured products through Setup -> Manage Products -> Add Product.

Accessing Products: When building a mobile application, product data can be accessed through the auto-created product fixture on the phone. The format for accessing the data is:

 

<fixture id="commtrack:products" user_id="3ce8b1611c38e956d3b3b84dd3a7ac18">
  <products>
     <product id="some-guid-here">
              <name>Coartem</name>
              <unit>pills</unit>
              <code>co</code>
              <description>common antimalarial</description>
              <category>antimalarials</category>
              <program_id>some-program-guid</program_id>
              <cost>1.00</cost>
     </product>
  </products>
</fixture>
