Inventory Management

Expired or outdated goods are omitted in stock availability

• In addition to the expiry date, users can configure an "available until" value on stocks. For example, this allows products to be withdrawn from a sales channel a certain time before they expire. For information on configuration of availableUntil refer to Listings.

• Stocks that have expired or have exceeded their availableUntil value are not considered anymore in the stock availability, namely in availableForPicking and availableOnStock. For more information please refer to Availability.
