Products that have limited lifetimes or warrant explicit usage tracking typically have batch identification and expiry dates.

Product batches can be tracked during charging and dispensing.

This can be used to:

• auto-fill the expiration date of medication, based on the batch of a product at the current stock location
• record rabies vaccination details given to a patient
• determine who has been sold a particular product batch being recalled
• report on stock about to expire

Batches are created via the Product|Batches screen, or by finalising a delivery that contains batch information.
