Why track product expiration dates?

Tracking expiration dates helps you easily identify items nearing their expiration date. This allows you to plan preventative measures in time, such as running promotions to clear stock and prevent inventory loss.

In Nex, you can register expiration dates for items and clear those dates when items are sold or expire.

Note that the system does not automatically remove products from stock when they reach their expiration date or when an expiration date is cleared. This is because products can leave stock in different ways, such as through a sale. Therefore, stock balance adjustments must be performed manually when necessary.

How to add an expiration date on the products screen

1. On the Products screen, access the Items tab.

2. Locate the desired product and click on the three dots (...).

3. Click on Add expiration date - F7.

4. Enter the Expiration date for the product and click on Save - F2.

How to manage expiration dates in product settings

1. Inside the product registration form, access the Expiration tab to view all expiration dates linked to this item.

2. If needed, click on Add expiration date to include additional expiration dates.

3. To remove an entry, select the desired record and click Remove.

Removing an expiration date helps keep item history organized. Use this option if the product was sold or passed its expiration date. Since removing an expiration date does not remove the item from stock, perform an stock output movement if you need to adjust the actual balance.

How to view expiration dates for all store products

1. On the Stock screen, access the Expiration date control tab.

This tab allows you to monitor expiration dates for all products and register new deadlines.

2. If you wish to export or print this list, click on the three dots (...) and select Print - Ctrl+P or Export - Shift+F5.

Done! You have learned how to register and monitor expiration date control for your products in Nex.
