Release Notes

vLMIS Release Notes — September 2026 (current)

This note describes the live Vaccine LMIS build used for national and provincial operations. It covers access and login behaviour, stock and Form B, cold-chain dashboards, reporting, NEIR Stock, and public support pages as of late September 2026.

Access and identity

  • Users log in and stay on the vLMIS application host; home and footer links use the site base URL.
  • Sign-out returns to the vLMIS home page (/index).
  • Login shows a specific message when the password is correct but the account was deactivated after three months without login, or is otherwise inactive.
  • A session uses only the user’s default warehouse and does not inherit another user’s store.
  • Dates and times use Pakistan Standard Time (Asia/Karachi).
  • FDI / EPI branding and province emblems appear in header and footer as configured for the live site.

Stock, consumption, and Form B

  • Receive Warehouse requires a cold-chain or dry-store placement location and records VVM stages as entered; partial receive is supported.
  • Monthly consumption calculates closing balance; negative closing balance is blocked on save.
  • Form B (Consumption and Requisition) continues from EPI centres through district and province to Federal EPI, using AMC and months of stock.
  • Dry-store and cold-store roles remain separate. Stock Issue can show manufacturer short name with the batch for diluent matching.
  • Stock movement search supports campaign versus routine transfers where enabled.

Cold chain

  • Cold Chain Dashboard (/reports/provincial-cold-chain) — menu title updated; ACL for inventory warehouse roles; view scoped to the user’s geography and under-levels; empty location rows without equipment are hidden.
  • Filtered Excel export for the dashboard respects geo and chip filters.
  • Cold-chain capacity dashlets align with receive-list equipment, including ILR / refrigerator units where applicable.
  • Store managers continue to maintain assets, working status, generators, and room alarms through the cold-chain module.
  • Provincial Excel reconciliation for Punjab cold rooms, vehicles, and generators (map / add / inactive / status) is supported for authorised data updates.

Reports and System Analyst

  • Division and district stock, months of stock, wastage, coverage, data-performance, in-transit, and related inventory reports remain available by ACL.
  • Receive, issue, voucher, gatepass, and shipment prints are available for store and audit use.
  • System Analyst area consolidates operational views, including NEIR receives, stock reset, and integration issue screens where ACL is granted.

NEIR and EPIMIS

  • EPIMIS–vLMIS location mapping keeps shared UC / tehsil / district geography for reporting.
  • NEIR Stock (Android) supports overview, receiving, daily stock, Form B, ledger, offline sync, and receive-voucher PDF for facilities where the app is issued.

Public pages and support

  • FAQs and What's New describe current login, stock, and cold-chain behaviour.
  • Contact Us requires a captcha verification code; messages go to Federal Directorate of Immunization support (systemsupport@epi.gov.pk unless a different contact email is configured).
  • Unused captcha image files under public/captcha are removed automatically after one week when a new captcha is generated.
