Identify batch number
If the item is managed by batches, (and there was no batch number available on the barcode), specify the batch number. The default batch number depends on the extension selected for the Batchnumber 1 on company controller.

If the allow to select batch option is set to true on the Purchase delivery generator, the batch numbers currently in stock for the item are listed on the screen and can be selected.

When the item has a second batch number, add the second batch number as well. If the ‘Auto select internal batch based on batch number?’ option is enabled on the Purchase delivery generator, and there is a second batch number in stock for the current batch, the system will automatically assign that second batch number and skip this screen.

Note: Silo, tank and bin locations can be configured to store only a single batch or a single item. See Silo/tank.

Specify the best before date

If the item has a best before date, and there was no best before date available on the barcode, add the best before date. The default best before date depends on the Expiry def. for reception value on the Produmex Purchase tab of the Item Master Data.

The system asks for reentering the best before date in the following scenarios:

• There is a best before date for the batch that will expire later
• The entered best before date does not match the required shelf life defined on the Produmex Purchase tab of the Item Master Data.

If the Can the user change the generated best before date? option is not enabled on the Best Before for Reception Generator, the user is not allowed to change the generated best before date. The system skips the Enter Best Before Date screen.
