Expiration Date Management (FEFO)
What it does
This NetSuite customization automates the management of inventory expiration dates, ensuring that products are used or sold before they expire.
It reduces waste, prevents shipping expired goods, and supports compliance with industry regulations.
This is critical for perishable goods industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
How it's built
The solution uses custom fields, workflows, and alerts to track expiration dates at the lot or item level.
It can automatically prioritize inventory with earlier expiration dates (FEFO), block expired inventory, and notify users of upcoming expirations.
Key components
- Expiration date tracking at lot level
- FEFO allocation logic
- Automated alerts for upcoming expirations
- Blocking of expired inventory
- Reporting dashboards for aging inventory
