Batch & Lot Tracking (FEFO)

Trace stock in both directions — forward from a raw material lot, or back from a finished batch — with First-Expiry-First-Out allocation and full genealogy.

Key Features

  • FEFO-aware lot ledger with remaining-quantity tracking per lot
  • Batch Genealogy report — trace any production batch back through every input lot it consumed
  • Raw Material Batch Lookup — trace forward from a single raw material lot to every production batch it fed and every order that shipped, answering "who received product made from this batch?" in one search
  • Lot hold/quarantine with disposition tracking as part of Quality Management
  • Batches keep their number and expiry when stock moves from the factory to a branch (transfers and internal supply), and returned stock goes back to its batch
  • Open any stock item in Inventory to see its batches per location — quantity left, expiry and where each came from — reconciled to stock on hand
  • Product and batch labels at production: GS1 barcodes (EAN-13 plus a batch DataMatrix), internal barcodes for own-shop items, any label printer or A4 sticker sheets
  • Scan the batch label at the till and that exact batch is sold — expired batches warned or blocked, batches on hold need a manager, a pack with two codes counted once
  • Stock sold before its batch was recorded is settled against the batch when it arrives, so batch quantities don't drift above stock on hand
  • Name the batches behind stock set aside for a customer — dispatches to that customer take those batches first, everyone else uses them last, and the batch trace shows which dispatches came from the set-aside stock

Benefits

  • A recall or quality issue can be traced to exactly the batches affected — not the whole product line
  • Shop sales record the batch actually sold, not an assumption — so a recall reaches the right customers
  • Full raw-material-to-finished-good traceability for regulated or quality-sensitive production
  • A batch made in the factory can be followed into every branch that received it and every sale made there
