Find at-risk lots#
- 1Open Reports and select Expiring Lots/Batch.
- 2Use Filter by date, then click Search. Type a lot or product in the search box if you need to narrow the list.
- 3Compare lot dates and remaining units with physical labels.
- 4Open the lot record and confirm its remaining quantity, status, and location.
- 5Ask the warehouse to compare the label dates and physical units with the report before moving or disposing of anything.
A lot can be active, quarantined, or recalled. A status change may stop picking, while a separate write-off is needed when units are disposed of.
Check labels#
The report can flag a lot as expiring soon or expired based on its date. Check its actual lot status—Active, Quarantined, or Recalled—before picking or disposing of it.
WARNING: A date warning does not automatically write off or quarantine stock. Inspect and process affected goods.
Before disposal#
Visit the affected bin and check the lot labels and remaining quantity before moving or writing off goods.
Do not write off stock from a date alone; confirm custody and the quantity being removed.
