Field help (EXYMGTCOD)

Expiration management is subject to the EXY - Expiration management activity code.

The calculation mode of the expiration date can be set up according to the following criteria:

• Not managed. With no management, the fields status and lead time cannot be entered.
• Without rounding. The expiration date is calculated based on the number of days.
• Rounding month end. The expiration date is calculated based on a rounded value on the month's end.
• Rounding beginning month + 1. The expiration date is calculated based on a rounded value on the next month's start.
• Mandatory entry. With this value, an entry window for the expiration date will automatically open when recording a stock receipt. The expiration date will be initialized based on the reference date and lead time.
• Manual entry. With this value, an entry window for the expiration date will open automatically when recording a stock receipt. The expiration date will be blank.

 Expiration date management is only possible if the product is managed by lot. In this case, the status of expired lots can be planned.

This information, if defined at the category level, is used at the product level where the shelf life can also be specified.
