Lesson 11 / 15

Lots, expiry, serials, quarantine & quality

Preserve unit evidence and keep restricted goods out of usable stock.

Before you begin

Tracked products define lot/expiry/serial requirements and an approved shop quality procedure.

Where to go

Products / Operations → Quality / POS Readiness

Visible menus may vary with language, permissions, app version and shop configuration.

Follow these steps

  1. Receive and sell against the physical lot/serial. Use FEFO when evidence is complete; expiry date is not safety certification.
  2. HOLD/quarantine restricts usable stock without rewriting physical/value balances. Inspection approval is neither RELEASE nor receiving.
  3. Restaurants use Operations for materials, production, waste and quality evidence. Recipe/SOP versions do not prove production completion.
  4. Pharmacies separate sale policy from stock and require a pharmacist-defined quarantine/review process because no pharmacy-specific sellable-return gate exists.

How to verify success

Held, expired or serial-mismatched goods are not offered as sellable, and evidence traces to the physical unit.

Limits & things to check

Do not infer capability from its label. Some derive from data and some have real gates; check current readiness and workflow.
