Sets a Street Date for this item. A street date is the day the public is allowed to receive the merchandise – often used with album releases.

See Lot Control for more information about using lot control in RyderShip.

Lot Control – Shipping Strategy section

Item-Details-new-LotControl-1.png

Field Definition
Item is Lot Controlled Determines whether or not the item has lots. 
Inherit

Allows you to use the ship strategy selected at the customer Preference level (default).

Note: You also can change the strategy for this item only.

Default Ships from the location with the lowest stock first, as this minimizes storage costs.
Lot Control FEFO 
(First expired, first out)

Ships the stock with the oldest expiration date(s) first. You can set a cutoff period where stock within that timeframe will not be shipped.

Expiration dates are required for FEFO.

Lightbulb-1.pngRyderShip can also generate reports upon request that highlight soon-to-expire products or products that are past their expiration date

Lot Control FIFO 
(First in, first out)

Ships the oldest units of a product first, based on the order they are received at the warehouses.

Once FIFO is enabled, orders continue to be assigned to the nearest in-stock warehouse, but within the warehouse, the oldest inventory is shipped first.

FIFO uses the lot created_at timestamp of the units as well as the item’s receiving history to ship units in the order they arrive at warehouses (e.g. older items ship before newly received ones).

Note: Expiration dates are not required for FIFO. You can use them – just not required.

Warning.pngKnown limitations

  • If a manufacturer sends multiple lots or expiration dates of a product on the same Ship Notice, RyderShip will not be able to differentiate between them. It is critical that you discuss your requirements with your manufacturer to ensure consistency inside the RyderShip warehouse.
  • FIFO, FEFO and lot control can only be applied to products after the options are activated. Inventory received before this will remain as they were received

Lot Control – Lot Control Information section
