It will allow you to set **best before date**, **end of life date**, **alert

This will allow you to set four expiration fields for each lot or serial number:
**best before date**, **end of life date**, **alert date** and **removal date**.
These dates can be set from :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Serial Numbers/Lots`.

serial/lot number should be removed from the stock. Using the FEFO
removal strategym goods are picked for delivery orders using this date.

about the goods with this serial number.
- **Alert Date:** This is the date on which an alert should be sent
about the goods with this serial/lot number.
Products will pick first with expiry date (removal date), So you have
to set removal date on lot/serial numbers.
Lots will be picked based on their **removal date**, from earliest
to latest. Lots without a removal date defined will be picked after
lots with removal dates.
All dates except **removal date** are for informational and reporting purposes only.
Lots that are past any or all of the above expiration dates may still be picked
for delivery orders, and no alerts will be sent when lots pass their **alert date**.
Expiration dates on lots can also be set automatically when goods are received into stock.
After enabling expiration dates on serial numbers, four new fields will become available
in the inventory tab of the product form: **product life time**, **product use time**,
**product removal time**, and **product alert time**. When an integer is entered into one
of these fields, the expiration date of a lot/serial of the product in question will be set
to the creation date of the lot/serial number plus the number of days entered in the time
increment field. If the time increment field is set to zero, then the expiration date of
a lot/serial must be defined manually after the lot has been created.
Each of these time increment fields is used to generate one of the lot expiration date fields as follows:
Product Use Time --> Best Before Date
Product Removal Time --> Removal Date
Product Life Time --> End of Life Date
Product Alert Time --> Alert Date
To set the removal strategy on location, go to
:menuselection:`Configuration --> Locations` and choose FEFO.
