In the product record, select tracking by lot and enable Requires expiration date.

With a minimum shelf life (in days), receiving stops if the lot expires before that period: for example, «This lot expires in 12 days; the minimum accepted is 30 days». An authorized user decides whether it is accepted.

When picking, Chainlink allocates the lot that expires first (FEFO).
