Use Inventory Freshness when Shipping

Ship items with a freshness requirement

When you create a sales order for an item that has a freshness requirement, the system will automatically populate the Inventory Freshness Code field on the sales order line.

Post sales order or warehouse shipment

To post the sales order, you must select item tracking where the post calculation date (identified on Inventory Freshness Setup page) minus the production date exceeds the corresponding number of inventory freshness days, identified by the inventory freshness code.

The same procedure is followed by the system for locations where warehouse shipments are used.

Picking

If a pick is required, the system will only choose item-lots for which the pick calculation date (identified on Inventory Freshness Setup page) minus the production date exceeds the corresponding number of inventory freshness days, identified by the inventory freshness code.

This could result in a pick not being created even though you have inventory on-hand.
