Inventory expiration date

For businesses selling perishable items such as food, tracking and selling the products before they expire is crucial. Using this feature of QuickBooks Desktop 2023, business owners can add expiration dates to the lot or serial numbers of such items. As a result, they can avoid selling items that are already expired. Besides this, they can also clear the lot of products that are about to expire by running discount offers. |
