Enable Lots and Serial Numbers and Expiration Dates in the Inventory settings. Then set tracking on each product that needs it.

How it works

• Each receipt records the lot number and its dates: expiry, best before, removal and alert dates.
• Use the FEFO removal strategy so the earliest expiring stock is picked first.
• Traceability reports show every move of a lot, from vendor to customer, which helps in recalls.
• Alerts warn your team before products reach their removal date.

Train warehouse staff to scan lots at every step; traceability is only as good as the data captured at receipt and delivery.
