Batch and lot tracking with expiration date management
Control perishable and serialized inventory with FEFO/FIFO dispatch rules.
Ensure quality control and regulatory compliance for batch-tracked products.
1. Enable Batch Tracking: In Inventory → Products, edit an item and enable 'Track Batch / Lot Numbers'.
2. Goods Receipt: When receiving purchase orders or production runs, enter the vendor batch number, manufacturing date, and expiry date. Quantities are segregated by batch.
3. Dispatch Strategy (FEFO): When creating sales orders or POS sales, the system automatically suggests the earliest-expiring batch (First Expired, First Out) to minimize waste.
4. Expiration Alerts: Monitor the Expiry Dashboard to identify items approaching expiration within 30, 60, or 90 days.
5. Recall Traceability: In case of a product recall, search the batch number to view every supplier receipt, warehouse transfer, and customer invoice associated with that specific lot.
