Product Code Expiration Dates
In TrackAbout Mobile 6 and TrackAbout Mobile 7, TrackAbout can dynamically calculate product expiration dates. Sometimes this is referred to as a product Shelf Life. Once an asset has passed its product code expiration, an alert will show to users within the mobile application.
Expiration Periods are configured based on individual products, days before expiration and the Branch Location.
It is automatically calculated based on the date the asset was filled. Users do not have to manually enter expiration dates. The calculated expiration date will show on the Asset's History page.
