Dear Harsh,

Yes, DHIS2 supports it but our scenario is different from what they support.
We have three warehouses for ARV drugs, each warehouse has 6 cycles for
distributing drugs in a year. Each of that cycle has a start date and
deadline date that varies every year to the extent that some cycles start
or end in the middle of the month.
On top of the above, facilities are grouped in zones and it is the zones
that are allocated cycles.

Ideally, our scenario is very complex and still with DHIS2 enhancements, it
still remains complex!!

Alex
