Item configuration

You can set the minimum shelf life for picking on the General tab within the Item screen (Enterprise Level).

To set the minimum shelf life for picking:

Select Enterprise > Configuration > Item. The Item screen is displayed.
Do one of the following:
- To display a list, use the Search option.
- To create a new item, click New. The Item screen is displayed in Form view.
Select the check box beside the Shelf Life Indicator field. Cleared is the default. This allows the application to perform validations based on shelf life provided the routines are enabled. The Inbound Shelf Life and Outbound Shelf Life fields can now be populated.
Click the Receiving tab.
From the drop-down menu in the Shelf Life Code Type field, select Expiration Date or Manufacturing Date. The application compares the code type selected (expiration date or manufacturing date) to the current date to calculate the shelf life.
In the Outbound Shelf Life field, enter one of the following:
- Number of days permitted before the expiration date.
- Number of days permitted after the manufacturing date.
Note:
- The Inbound Shelf Life field does not apply to this feature.
- To view a conditional validation associated with an item, select WMS Workbench > Configuration > Validation Rules > Outbound and then perform a search to view validation records.
