Hi, 

 

Does IFS Cloud have a standard feature that blocks the quantities in a particular location that are expired, or about to expire, (probably through an Availability Control ID)?

May be a job executed daily to check such quantities and block for demands ? Or at least a report.

Hi ​@Tharindu Illangasinghe

No — IFS Cloud does not have a standard daily job that applies an Availability Control ID to expired or near-expiry stock.

What exists instead:

1. Expiration date already blocks automatic demand reservation

For automatic reservation, stock must not be expired (Expiration Date must be current). Expired quantities are skipped by auto-reservation without needing an Availability Control ID. Manual reservation can still pick expired stock.

2. “About to expire” is handled by shelf-life days (not Availability Control)

On the inventory part (shelf life / durability):

Setting Effect

Minimum Remaining Days at CO Delivery

Auto CO reservation only uses stock where Expiration Date > Planned Delivery Date + Min Days

Minimum Remaining Days for Planning

Planning / MRP / many availability checks only count stock where Expiration Date > Today + Min Days

So near-expiry stock is excluded from auto reservation and planning dynamically — no job stamps an Availability Control ID.
