- On the operations menu go to product management -> Product Setup
- Within product setup, navigate to the ‘Product Information’ and ‘Sales Info 2’ tabs

- Shelf Days: (Ext)- This is the amount of external shelf days for this product.
- Shelf Days: (Internal)- This is the amount of internal shelf days for this product.
- Warning- Shelf Days (Ext) Less Than- This is the point at which you want there to be a warning when selling the product for the shelf life being below a certain amount of external days.
- Stop Sales checkbox- Ticking this checkbox means sales will not be allowed for a batch when the shelf days are below the warning.
