Warehouse management: trace lots, operations and client collaboration

Who it is for

Third-party warehouses and operators serving multiple inventory owners. Warehouse staff manage execution while clients access their own business records.

From appointments to stock

Record quantities and actual production and expiry dates by received lot. Leave unknown dates empty. Receipt, putaway and corrections retain source information to support traceability.

From picking to verification

FEFO prioritizes earlier expiry and excludes expired stock from picking. Picking verification retains lot sources; shipped-quantity corrections preserve the original operational facts. PDA supports scanning during receipt, putaway and picking.

What to validate

Use two fictional lots of one product to check expiry order, partial receipt, client visibility and correction consistency. Analytics depend on actual records and sufficient snapshot coverage.

Questions and answers

Is FEFO the same as FIFO?

No. FEFO prioritizes expiry dates; FIFO prioritizes receipt order. Establish reliable lot data and operating rules before relying on automated selection.

Can several clients view their own stock?

Yes. Client accounts and permission scopes are supported. Validate warehouse, client and staff access during onboarding.
