Expiry and returns
For: Store managers, DC, buying
Expiry is managed every week: sell the earliest first, send short-dated stock back while the distributor still takes it, and write off what has expired.

Step by step

Every batch expiring within 90, 60 or 30 days, by store, with its value at MRP and at cost and the distributor who supplied it.

An expired batch cannot be sold or moved. Write it off with Stock Entry › Material Issue, with the reason; it is booked to expired and damaged stock written off.
