RE: Lot Tracking and FIFO issuing without Expiry Date
Thanks for the mention mahgah.
You are already looking in the right area.
Set the pick policy for locations to ‘Pick according to FEFO’
On the Item Tracking card, set the Use expiration date to true but make sure ‘Strict Expiration Posting’ and ‘Require Expiration Date’ are false.
On the item card set an expiry date calculation. It can be anything you like. Either a long time in the future or 1D would be my suggestion.
Business Central will always apply the same calculation of expiry date upon receipt so expiry dates will naturally reflect the relative age of goods.
The key thing is that you have set the expiry date on the item tracking to not be an expiration policy so BC doesn’t actually care what the dates are. BC just uses them to suggest the oldest stock (first expiring) on the pick.
