It is common practice to consider freshness requirements while shipping items to customers and receiving items from vendors. Inventory Freshness ensures that outbound products heading to customers and inbound products arriving from vendors do not exceed a certain number of days from their production date.

Customized freshness calculation date: Create Freshness codes for items, vendors, customers and combinations of item-vendor and item-customer, thereby meeting unique internal freshness requirements and corresponding customer requirements
Fully integrate with Business Central: Seamlessly integrates with warehouse activities
Real-time validation: Ensures real-time freshness validation to prevent receiving, picking, and shipping of products that do not meet freshness requirements
Freshness requirements normally vary between products, raw materials, vendors and customers. Manufacturers and distributors need a way to ensure that their customer freshness requirements are met during picking and shipping activities. It is greatly beneficial for companies to ensure that their receiving activities comply with internal freshness requirements. If they do not do so, they risk receiving items that do not meet their freshness requirements, likely leading to complications with inventory or the inadequate quality of products.
Manufacturers and distributors who validate inbound and outbound activities against customized freshness requirements prior to picking, shipping and receiving will greatly benefit from the reduced risk of inadequate inventory and customer dissatisfaction.
With the Inventory Freshness app, manufacturers and distributors can reduce the risk of returned products, unhappy customers, and complications with inventory.
