The main fonction of the Portal is to allow smooth transmission of your purchase orders to MSF Supply. Standard lists, forecast, split into technical orders all concurr in concur to achieve such goal.
In the Portal you have two ways of creating orders: via "create an order" and via "import an order".
When you click on "Create an order" a new window opens, which is made of two sheets: "header" (main information) and the "content" (order lines).
The order's header contains six kind of information:
Identity
- Section: this is a hard-coded field, for OCB missions it will be "MSF Belgique"
- Mission: you can only select missions for which you have got rights (usually one)
- Project: there you put the project code that you place the order for
- Category: it may be "logistic" or "medical" according to the content
- Level: that is usually hard-coded, "cellule" stands for urgent orders placed by HQ, whilst "mission" is for the others
- Fiscal year: the Portal prompts you with the ongoing budgetary year. When approaching the following year you may have the option to select that one

Through a daily refresh from Nodhos, the Portal also displays the content of purchases after being processed by MSF Supply.
