Procedure

Examples

Dependencies

The date is set upon goods receipt in one of the following ways:

  • You enter it yourself.
  • You enter a date of production, and the system calculates the shelf life expiration date from the date of production plus the shelf life in days (from the material master record).

Note
This date can still be changed upon receipt of the usage decision for an inspection lot.
