Lots with the right kind of date
Record supplier, batch code, quantity, location and whether the date is best before, use by, manufacturer expiry, after opening or no date. The printed code never replaces the internal lot identity.

Know which lot you sold. Hold what is unsafe.
Receive traceable lots, pick earliest expiry first, hold unsafe stock and prepare recall evidence for an affected batch.
What it does
In plain words.
Receive stock as traceable lots with supplier, batch code and the right kind of date, then pick the earliest eligible lot first. Hold unsafe or returned goods until they are reviewed, trace an affected batch through sales and returns, and prepare recall evidence that shows its own gaps.
Who it is for
A good fit for your shop?
- Food, pet food and cosmetics retailers managing dated stock
- Shops that need to trace a supplier batch through sales and returns
- Teams receiving goods into more than one location
What you get
From receiving to recall evidence
Earliest eligible lot first
Recommendations respect location, holds, recalls and the minimum shelf life you need at dispatch. Staff confirm the lots actually picked and record a reason when they differ.
Hold, release and dispose with evidence
Move units into held stock, release them only with inspection evidence, or dispose of held units without a second deduction. Returned goods with a known lot stay held until inspected.
Trace and quarantine a recall
Search by supplier and batch code to find lots, confirmed sales, possible sales and returns. Quarantine the exact scope, including reserved units, and export recall evidence with its coverage gaps.
Near-date reviews and sector rules
Review stock nearing its date against reviewed demand and prepare markdown, transfer or disposal proposals for approval. Record your own policies for food, pet feed and cosmetics; the plugin grants no automatic legal permission.
Physical counts with a second check
Pause new promises for one product, record every observed lot and have a different receiver approve the correction. Held goods cannot be released by offsetting a count.
A recall that admits what it does not know
A supplier recalls one batch. Search by supplier and code to find its lots and confirmed picks, while sales recorded before lot tracking stay as possible matches. Quarantine the exact scope, including units already reserved, and export evidence that lists missing reconciliation and channel coverage.
Best before is not use by
Past use-by stock stays held. Past best-before stock also stays held unless an approver applies one of your recorded sector policies with a review interval and an overdue-day limit. The original date is kept through every transfer and amendment.

How it works
Start with one useful test.
Receive or identify lots
Record lots on receipt, or assign existing store stock to lots without adding it again. Unknown dates stay held until identified.
Pick and hold
Reserve the earliest eligible lots for an order, confirm the actual picks and hold anything that needs review.
Trace and act
Search an affected batch, quarantine its scope and prepare recall evidence, near-date proposals or a reviewed count.

Questions
Useful details before you choose.
The workflow, its limits and what is separate.
Still need a hand?Does it read expiry dates from barcodes?
No. Lot details are entered manually, and internal labels carry a lookup token. An ordinary product barcode is never treated as if it contained a batch or date.
Does a recall notify customers or marketplaces?
No messages or channel updates are sent. You can record prepared notices and staff-evidenced sends, and the evidence export states that no channel update was performed.
Can I move stock between locations?
Yes. Record dispatch when goods leave and arrival when they reach the destination, including partial arrivals and returns in transit. Recall and expiry checks can hold goods on arrival.
Can a lot be split or merged?
A lot can be split at the same location, keeping its original identity, dates and cost. Mixing lots into a new one is not supported.
