I received this question in a private message:
Can you think of a solution, on how to prevent the system from issuing new WDR beyond maximum shelf life?
Example Scenario:
A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed.
After opening, it must be used within 2 months.
A WDR Change - Receipt updates its expiry from 12 months to 2 months.
Now, WADACO and IFS prioritize using this stock first.
example: A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed. It stayed in the warehouse for 11 months, it has one 1 month left. When moved, the system might change the date to 2 months because is opened. How to make sure it will give only the maximum shelf life inherited from the original date?
When stock is moved or repackaged, we want IFS to apply a new shelf life based on its status change (e.g., from sealed to opened). However, if the item is already close to expiration (e.g., 11 months into a 12-month shelf life), the system should not assign a new expiry date that extends beyond the original maximum shelf life.
Hope to hear more from you soon.
