Manage expiration dates
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
In many companies, products have expiration dates and they should be
|
||
tracked based on those dates. In the food industry, for example,
|
||
tracking stocks based on expiration dates is mandatory to avoid selling
|
||
expired products to customers.
|
||
|
||
With Odoo, you can track your products based on their expiration dates,
|
||
even if they are already tracked by lots or serial numbers.
|
||
|
||
Configurations
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
Application configuration
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
To use expiration dates tracking, open the *Inventory* application and
|
||
go to *Configuration > Settings* and activate the *Lots & Serial
|
||
Numbers* and *Expiration Dates* features.

||
Product configuration
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
Now, you have the possibility to define different dates in the
|
||
*inventory tab* of the product form:
|
||
|
||
- Product Use Time: it’s the number of days before the goods start deteriorating, without being dangerous yet. It will be computed using the lot/serial number;
|
||
|
||
- Product Life Time: refers to the number of days before the goods may become dangerous and must not be consumed. It will be computed on the lot/serial number;
|
||
|
||
- Product Removal Time: shows the number of days before the goods should be removed from the stock. It will be computed on the lot/serial number;
|
||
|
||
- Product Alert Time: refers to the number of days before an alert should be raised on the lot/serial number.

Expiration Date on Lots/Serial Numbers
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
When receiving a product in stock, the dates will automatically be
|
||
updated on the corresponding lot/serial number. This update will be
|
||
based on the reception date of the product and the times set on the
|
||
product form.

||
Expiration Alerts
|
||
=================
|
||
|
||
You can access all your expiration alerts from the *inventory* app. To
|
||
do so, go to *Master Data > Lots/Serial Numbers*. There, you can use
|
||
the pre-existing filter that shows all the lots/serial numbers that
|
||
exceeded their alert date.
