Hi all, On a fresh Reference Application 3.6.0 Docker distro (pinned TAG=3.6.0, so frontend/backend/gateway are all 3.6.0), I can’t save a user-role scope in Stock Management. The dialog closes without an error, but nothing is saved and the table stays empty. Digging into it, the stock-management frontend calls: ```auto GET/POST /openmrs/ws/rest/v1/stockmanagement/user-scopes ``` but the backend responds: ```auto Unknown resource: v1/stockmanagement/user-scopes ``` The backend image bundles stockmanagement 3.0.0 (the latest release on GitHub). A code search of openmrs-module-stockmanagement returns zero matches for “user-scopes” anywhere in the module — the resource it actually exposes is userrolescope, which works fine when hit directly. So the 3.6.0 frontend appears to be calling an endpoint (user-scopes) that no released backend implements. My question: which stockmanagement backend and esm-stock-management-app frontend versions are meant to be paired in RefApp 3.6.0? It looks like the bundled frontend is ahead of the bundled backend’s API. Is there a newer backend build I should be using, or should I pin the frontend module to an earlier version that still calls userrolescope? Thanks! ---

Hi @jenspederrasmussen, The current `openmrs-esm-stock-management` source uses `/stockmanagement/userrolescope` consistently — not `/user-scopes`. You can verify in [`stock-user-role-scopes.resource.ts`](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-esm-stock-management/blob/HEAD/src/stock-user-role-scopes/stock-user-role-scopes.resource.ts). If your network tab shows calls to `/user-scopes`, likely causes: 1. **Stale cached assets** — Hard refresh (`Ctrl+Shift+R`) or restart the gateway container. 2. **Frontend version mismatch** — Check which version is actually loaded by inspecting `/openmrs/spa/importmap.json` for the stock management entry. You can also check in the browser console: 3. **Distro packaging issue** — If a pre-release build briefly used `user-scopes` before reverting, and the 3.6.0 distro pinned that version, that would explain the mismatch. **Workaround:** Override the frontend module version in your import map to a known-good version, or raise this on [`openmrs-distro-referenceapplication`](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-distro-referenceapplication) if confirmed as a packaging bug. Sharing the exact frontend version from your import map would help confirm the root cause. ---

Thanks Joseph. Confirmed from `importmap.json`: the loaded frontend is `@openmrs/esm-stock-management-app` **3.2.0** , while the backend bundles stockmanagement **3.0.0**. So it’s a newer-frontend / older-backend mismatch — the 3.2.0 frontend calls `/stockmanagement/user-scopes`, which the 3.0.0 backend doesn’t implement (it has `userrolescope`). This is on a clean RefApp 3.6.0 distro (`TAG=3.6.0`), nothing custom on the stock-management versions. Looks like a distro packaging mismatch. Which frontend version would you recommend pinning to match backend 3.0.0 — or should this be raised on `openmrs-distro-referenceapplication`? Best regards, Jens Peder ---

The 3.0.0 stockmanagement backend uses [/userscoperoles](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-stockmanagement/blob/604e352489e54ba172de7d4a81fc3fdfad76a266/omod/src/main/java/org/openmrs/module/stockmanagement/web/resource/UserRoleScopeResource.java#L30). The 3.2.0 frontend API calls [/userscoperoles](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-esm-stock-management/blob/7441184c5375a928176bed81d7a0f16e9a5923cb/src/stock-user-role-scopes/stock-user-role-scopes.resource.ts#L11). I can’t find the string `user-scopes` in the frontend code at all, never mind it making a request. It would be helpful if you can describe the steps you’re taking in the application that produces that failing request. ---

Sorry Folks I’m not up running yet. Let me try to describe in steps what I am doing. 1. I use the Openmrs reference from docker version 3.7.0 2. In the Locations Management in OpenMRS Legacy Admin I see a location Main Store and a Location Main Pharmacy 3. I created a User **Carl** as a Provider with the following roles: ![image](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/b/ab675026ef5c8b3aa702e787455911e0b416ed05.png) 4. I create two items in the stock Management tool: ![image](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/original/3X/2/8/281961462a6c86301720c0662c82eadde08afba6.png) 1.

I observed, that the Payload has a destinationUuid: "c7ac3a68-fd4f-4874-bb26-8fde27b54a9a When I look in the Openmrs Location Management under Main Store the Uuid for that location is:19dbe2c0-289d-11ed-bdcb-507b9dea1806 I may be a wild guess but I assumed that the two Uuids should be the same. Can you help me to clarify what I am doing wrong and why I can’t get the Stockmanagement tool to work. Best Regards, Jens Peder
