Shelf life related setup
You can enter shelf life-related setup that can be defined under the Item data field group in the Manage inventory section of the product. Shelf life-related setup includes setting up the following parameters:
Shelf advice period in days - Set a retest period from the date of manufacture for an item.
Shelf life period in days - Set the expiration date for batches. This parameter defines the number of days from the manufacturing date before a product batch expires.
Best before period in days - Set a date before the expiration date where the product should be consumed to get the best quality.
The purpose of the shelf life-related setup is to calculate the expiry date for the batches. The expiry date is considered in reservation and master planning scenarios and is also used to report on batches that are about to expire.
