FEFO LOT Assignment Suite App
The FEFO (First Expiry First Out) Lot Assignments SuiteApp manages the process of optimal lot assignment to sales order line items.
The lot assignment happens either on a first expiry first out (FEFO) or a first in first out (FIFO) basis.
If the item is expiry date controlled, the assignment takes place on FEFO basis, else on FIFO basis.

FEFO Lot Assignments Terminology
The following terms are used in FEFO Lot Assignments SuiteApp:
Lot assignment – The process of assigning lots to a sales order line item. Lot assignment applies to only lot numbered items.
First Expiry First Out (FEFO) – Lots with earliest expiry date are first assigned to sales order line items.
First In First Out (FIFO) – Lots that are input first are assigned first.
Required shelf life – Minimum number of days that an item is expected to stay on customer’s shelf before being consumed or sold. Required shelf life can be set at item level as well as at customer item level. If it is defined at both places, the required shelf life defined at the customer item level is used.
