Usually, pharmaceutical companies, chemical industries, and so on, need to maintain their stock items with manufacturing dates and expiry dates. In Tally.ERP, you can maintain Batches with Mfg (Manufacturing) and Expiry dates .
To enable manufacturing and expiry dates,
● Set Maintain batch-wise details and expiry dates for batches to Yes in F11: Features > F2: Inventory Features .
● In the Item Allocation screen, set Maintain in Batches , Track Date of Mfg and Use expiry dates to Yes .
When you set this to Yes , you will see the following in the Item Allocation screen:
Select the Godown from the List of Godowns .
Select the Batch number from the list of existing Batch numbers which will be displayed under List of Active Batches else click on New Number to give a new Batch number.
Enter the quantity and rate. The Amount will be calculated automatically.
