Expiry management facilitates consumer expiry returns and makes it simple for suppliers to receive them by automatically determining an expiration date based on the actual manufacture date. It will also help to manage the credit note, debit note, value approvals, and product replacements.

Benefits of Expiry Management:

1. Reduce your inventory wastage by returning the first expired items
   

• Product freshness/new products, give your customers the confidence to buy more

How to make an Expiry/Damage entry:

1. Go to 'Inventory' --> click on 'Expiry Management' --> select 'From Customer' --> 'Expiry/Damage Entry'

2. Select the 'Customer' --> choose the 'Product Name' --> choose the type as 'Expiry Return'

3. Press 'YES' to adjust the return from the same screen or press 'NO' to adjust later

Expiry/Damage Issue Entry:

After making the expiry/damage entry, you can adjust the expiry entry with either of these options

1. Go to 'Inventory' ---> select 'Expiry Management' ---> select 'From Customer' ---> click on 'Expiry/Damage Issue'

2. Select the 'Issue Type' from the below options based on your requirement,

- Amount

- Qty

- MRP

- Skip

- Close

3. If you save as 'Amount' it will get saved as 'Expiry Return' - 'Sales Return'. You can also save it as 'Purchase' if you are getting returns that were not sold to the customers

4. If you choose as 'Qty' and save it, a replacement entry will get created automatically

Thus, expiry management aids in the removal of first expired products and increases retailer confidence!
