You can use the Web Api (json) to help you get the value which you then send to your opening balance field.
In the API url, the period should be set to current period - 1 (previous month).

Yeah, that is a bit trickier, and it is not directly supported in DHIS2 at the moment. What we have done in other logistics systems with DHIS2 is to calculate (automatically) the closing balance from the previous month using a script on the server, and import this into the next month as a data element for the opening balance . That is a somewhat complex approach than just making the opening balance a normal data element and having people report it as part of the form. So, I guess it really depends on how you actually get the opening balance. Script could be used to calculate it for you, but there are many “gotchas” such as missing data, etc which need to be taken into account.

Hi Fatema,
Why don’t you just use an indicator? It will not be saved in the database, but will be calculated and available in the data entry form as well as the analytics.

Jason
