We have a scenario where a business has expired stock and they wish to perform an Inventory Control Plan to re-test this stock, prior to potentially updating the expiration date.

 

However, when we create the Inventory Analysis, we are unable to populate the Lot/Batch record and receive an error ‘Inventory analysis cannot be updated. No available quantity exists in the Lot XXXXXX for Part No Y in Site Z

 

The only way around this appears to be to update the expiration date, but that defeats the purpose of the test. Is it really not possible to have a control plan for expired stock?

Hi ​@LALEXANDER15,

As it looks, this is unfortunately by design. I am also of the opinion that it must be possible to select a lot/batch (and also a series part) that is in the past. Hence my suggestion: The customer should open a support case and report this as a bug.
