When manually creating a new item in the Inventory Items Master:
Create the item as usual and enter all required values.
If the product should track an expiration date, check the “Perishable” checkbox.
If the product should not track an expiration date, leave the “Perishable” checkbox unchecked.
Save the record. The data will be automatically synced to Creator.
When importing data from a file:
Import the file with all required values.
After the import is complete, select the updated items and click “Sync Items.”
If the product is Perishable, the expiration date is required when performing a New Bin Adjustment and during Physical Inventory → Physical Count.
If the product is Non-Perishable, the expiration date can be left blank.
The weekly report that checks for records with no Manufacture Batch or no Expiration Date will not add an item to the problem list if the item is Non-Perishable and the Expiration Date field is blank.
The report is sent by email weekly on Mondays.
Records without an MFR Batch and Expiration Date must be corrected before starting the Physical Inventory.
If such records exist when PI is initiated, an alert will be displayed and PI initialization will not proceed.
However, if the item is Non-Perishable and the Expiration Date is blank, it will be excluded from validation and PI will be allowed to start.
