La preparación de suplementos empieza con lotes y caducidad
El inventario fechado necesita un plan para la vida útil que recibe el cliente. Antes de moverlo, acuerda cómo registrar lotes, caducidad y restricciones, y cómo manejar retenciones o retiros.
Qué cambia aquí
Comparte categoría, vida útil y lotes. El plan de recepción y selección debe reflejarlos antes del primer envío entrante.
- First expired, first out, not first in
- FIFO picks by the date the stock arrived. FEFO picks by the date it expires. On dated stock those are different units, and the difference is the shelf life your customer receives. A receipt in June with a shorter date than one from March goes first.
- A lot has to be an address, not a note
- Confirma dónde se registra el lote al recibir y si sigue al pedido hasta el envío. Una etiqueta de tarima puede no ofrecer el historial consultable que necesitas.
- Pull one lot, not the shelf
- The question a recall asks is narrow: where did this lot go and what of it is still here. Answering it should quarantine one lot and leave the rest sellable, which is only possible if the lot was tracked before anyone needed it.
- Short-dated stock is a decision, taken early
- Acuerda cómo identificar e informar stock cercano a caducar y quién decide promoverlo, retenerlo o retirarlo. Esa decisión necesita tiempo, no una sorpresa en la mesa de empaque.
What to establish before you choose anyone
Supplements and natural health products sit under rules about who may store and handle them, and the answer is specific to the site, the product class and what is being done to it. Every provider on your list should be able to tell you in one sentence what its buildings are licensed and registered to do, and you should ask us the same question rather than infer it from a web page.
- Ask each provider what its sites hold, for which product classes, and get it in writing before stock moves.
- Ask what happens to your lot data if you leave, because a lot history you cannot export is a lot history you do not own.
- Ask how quickly they can answer a lot enquiry, and whether the answer is a report or somebody walking the floor.
