Frequently asked questions
How is a batch chosen at shipment?
By the item’s valuation method: FEFO takes the nearest expiry date, FIFO the earliest batch. A batch can also be specified manually.
Do batches require Mode 2?
Yes. Batches, serial numbers and characteristics belong to Mode 2 of the warehouse, and switching to it requires no data migration.
