-### How to use the chemical cart? For which purpose?
-
-You can do carts of products or carts of flasks.
-Tick the cart button in the corresponding column in order to add your product/flask to the cart. It is not the cart for the purchase platform, only a list of product/flask that you can export and pool for any purpose. You may need it for a list of product to look for in the lab or for a group of label to print at the same time.
-

-
-## STOCK MANAGEMENT
-
-In order to have the updated inventory of the quantity of each chemicals we own in the laboratories, we need to label the flasks associated to each product and to localise them in the software. We only track the flask of the chemicals category. One flask corresponds to a batch, reason why it is mentionned entering a batch in stock.
-
-Each flask has a 2D QR code, the label is also named with a short name: **Group::** and incrementing numbers (used in case of issue with the QR code identification). 
-
-  <img src=" img/picture 25.JPG">
-
-The information displayed on the label are the name, the internal number, the expiration date, the creation date. A field is forseen for openind date hand-writing. The expiration date is the creation date + 4 years if no other infornation is available on the flask.
-
-Several flasks can be associated to one chemical product. Several sizes of flasks can also be associated to one product. This is why we encourage you to create chemical product without any information about the content size (like Sigma reference 89007-25MG should be 89007).
-
-The flask is created by support team at reception of the product with the associated action of printing the label. Owner of the flask still need to moove the flask from the reception storage place to the destination storage place, using the Quarks plateform or the mobile application. 
-
-The flask location information and quantities are displayed for the group members only. 
-
-  <img src=" img/picture 24.JPG">
-
-  When you enter a new batch in stock (meaning a new flask associated to a productuct reference) you need to fill the following information (* means mandatory field). We strongly recommend to track the batch number (lot number) of the flasks for quality purpose even if it is not a mandatory field.   
-
-<img src=" img/picture 26.JPG">
-
-## LOCATIONS
-
-All the location for chemical storage has a 2D QR code as well.
-It is mainly used with the mobile application. In case of issue with the QR code, each location label is also associated to a label number as :number:
-
-<img src=" img/picture 27.JPG">
-
-STORAGE word is specified to differentiate storage place (fridges and freezers) from equipement identification. To add a new location please create a ticket in https://service.uni.lu.
-
-
-## What are the items categories displayed in the chemical product inventory?
-
-The cost categories displayed in the chemical inventory are chemicals, biological reagents, medication. 
-
-**Chemicals** 
-Any cost of chemical products for laboratories; powder and solutions
-  
-**Biological reagents** (molecular biology + Cell culture)
-Any cost of molecular biology and cell culture products for laboratories, e.g. enzymes, antibodies, cell culture media, serum, biochemical reagents
-
-**Medication**
-Costs of all animal drugs and medicine used for research purpose to use by or on the order of licensed veterinarian
-
-### How to make the difference between chemicals and biological reagents?
-  
-**Chemicals** 
-
-Any Compounds, substances or mixture with a defined composition properties and not connected with the natural process of an living organism
-
-**Biological reagent**
-Compounds, substances or mixtures used to mimic biological living conditions and/or are produced in living organisms. Reagents connected with any kind of natural process of an living organism
-You can search product by categories if you need only to have the list of chemicals for example.
-
-**Subcategories are kits and media**. 
-
- 
-### Why did we include biological reagents and mediacation in the chemical inventory?
-
-In order to display the hazard scoring of the biological reagents or medication for risk analysis and to be submitted to safety approval if meeting the criteria. 
-
-**Do we label the biological reagents?**
-Not for the moment. Only the flasks of chemical products need to have a barecode sticker. The flasks associated to biological reagent don't need a Quarks barecode. 
-
-**How to manage the stock of biological reagents?**
-If for inventory and stock management purpose you need stickers, printers are available in the laboratories, you can use it to label biological reagents. Support will only take care of the labels for chemical products.
-
-The biological reagents ordered with the Quarks purchase platform will appear in the chemical inventory. To manage the stock, you can either choose to discard the biological reagent or to place it in a dedicated location. As soon as it is done it will not appear anymore in the dropdown menu of your flask management bar (purchase) 
-
-<img src=" img/picture 4.jpg">
-<img src=" img/picture 5.jpg">
-
-**It is possible to import an exel file with a list of biological reagents that you would like to track in Quarks?** 
-
-Yes it is possible, the exel file should be shaped the same way as the colums of the chemical products inventory. 
-
-# How is organized the Quarks flow at LCSB?
-1)  Ordering an article via the purchase platform in Quarks
-2)  If it is a chemical, the product is automatically created in the chemical product inventory of Quarks. Biological reagents and medication are also automatically created in the chemical product inventory.
-
-3)  Reception of the article by support team. If it is a chemical only, the label is printed and placed in a dedicated box.
-4)  The buyer come to pick up the deliveries and the labels
-5)  The buyer 
-
-    a.  Use the Quarks website with the computer to enter the new batch number and final location of the product
-

-
-### What are the roles in Quarks?
-
-Quarks gives us the possibility to have different rights for each person, which are set up in a kind of profile, which are called roles. 
-With those roles we can adapt what actions the person is allowed to do and what kind of changes can be save. Like this, each group gains more autonomy and a better control of their budgets. 
-
-Those are the different roles possible in a research group:
-
-**Viewer**: only view orders from own group
-
-**Researcher**: place article in a cart and view orders from/for own group, create new article
-
-**Technician**: place article in a cart and view orders from/for own group, create new articles, receiving notifications on status of all orders
-
-**Budget responsible**: validate carts of own group, choose budget codes for orders, have an overview of the spending
-

-# How is structured the purchase platform?
-
-<img src=" img/picture 39.jpg">
-
-ARTICLES are available from catalogs.
-
-Dynamic catalogs are available from SIGMA and VWR.
-Articles from Labcollector, with corresponding LIMS ID (internal code) are also imported in Quarks.
-
-## How to order from a new seller?
-
-In order to create a new seller, you need to request a SAP ID for this seller. Your order will be pending until the seller is created in SAP.
-
-## How to add an article in my favorites?

-
-## How to create an article ?
-You can create an article wit the creation button. If the reference exists already in a catalogs, then you will have the possibility to merge the articles. 
-
-As soon as you have found or created your article, you can add it to your cart. One cart is dedicated to one group and one budget. You need to choose the team before to start your cart. This is a default option if you only belong to one group. 
-
-It is not mandatory to choose your budget at this step. you can save your cart without budget. The budget validator will take care of filling and checking the information missing in such a case.
-
-## How to proceed with the fees?
-Explain the part with the fees-> needed to be added after creation of the article 
-
-## How to place an order?
-**Carts** is an intermediate step between placing the orders in the lab and processing the order by the lab support team.
-
-The carts can be places by anyone in the lab, the budget responsible is going to check the order again and make sure that amount and budget used, are the correct. 
-
-This leads to different states in the carts, which can also be searched for. ( see search area)  
-
-**Draft**: cart has just been created and needs to be confirmed by the creator
-
-**Waiting for validation**: cart needs to be validated by a budget responsible
-
-**Transmitted**: the cart has been validated by a budget responsible of the team and has been transmitted to the orders
-
-**Refused**: the cart has been refused for a reason that must be identified while refusing
-
-## How to proceed an order?
-The different order states allow you to have informations about where is the order in the process:
-
-**Draft**: order has been created out of cart, first state after validation from budget responsible
-
-**Pending**: status after request validation from Validator ( Support team)
-
-**Validated**: order has been checked by lab support team and accepted
-
-**Confirmed**: order has been transmitted to Service now/SAP and PO has been created
-
- **Sent**: PO has been approved in Service now/ SAP and has been sent to supplier
-
-**Partially received/ Received**: reception status of order
-
-**Merged**: 2 or more orders with the same supplier and same budget are merged
-
-**Canceled**: order has been canceled or refused due to missing or not correct information
-
-**Waiting Safety approval**: chemicals/ biological reagents / medication with specific risks need to be approved by the safety team 
-
-<img src=" img/picture 42.jpg">
-
-This process leads to different roles related to the purchase platform: 
-
-**Buyer**: person creating and confirming the cart *Technician, Researcher, Budget Responsible* 
-
-**Transmitter**: transmitting cart into an order after validation by budget responsible *Budget Responsible* 
-
-**Validator**: accepting the order and further processing of the order  *Support team*
-
-## How to receive an order?
-
-As soon as a new chemical product / biological reagent or medication product is ordered, the product is automatically created in the chemical inventory platform. 
-
-At the reception of the article, labels are automatically created for chemicals only. 
-
-In order to keep your inventory updated, you need to scan the QR Code of your product and to moove it from reception to the destination location. 
-
-You can use the option "entering a batch in stock from an order" to choose the destination location and to enter the batch number/expiration date of your product", even if the label is already printed.
