Batches & expiry

Who can use thisOwnerManagerInventory staff

For medicines, food and anything with a shelf life, SunarOne tracks stock by batch with an expiry date — and sells the earliest-expiring stock first (FEFO, First-Expiry First-Out).

Receive a batch

When stock arrives, receive it as a batch so its expiry is on record:

• On a purchase order, receive stock by batch (batch number + expiry), or
• Use Adjust → receive a batch on the product in Inventory.

At the counter, FEFO automatically picks the batch that expires soonest, so old stock doesn’t get stuck behind new stock.

Expiry buckets

Your business-type workspace shows expiry grouped into buckets so nothing surprises you:

• Expired
• Expiring within 30 days
• Within 60 days
• Within 90 days

Batch recall

If a batch needs to be pulled (a recall), look it up by batch number to trace where that batch went — essential for pharmacies.
