Batch Tracking for Kirana – Explained

Batch tracking means recording which batch each item came from. Useful for expiry and recalls.

When You Need It

• Medicines – Mandatory. Batch + expiry on invoice.
• Perishables – Milk, some snacks. Track by date/batch.
• FMCG – Optional. Helps with expiry and recall.

How It Works

• Supplier gives batch no. (e.g. B12345) and expiry
• You record when stock in: item, qty, batch, expiry
• When selling: use FEFO – First Expiry, First Out
• Recall: Identify affected batch, isolate stock
