Automatically Sort Stock Batches by Expiry Date for Superior Inventory Control
Introduction
For businesses dealing with batch-wise inventory such as pharmaceuticals, FMCG, food, and chemicals, managing expiry dates is the most critical task. Without a structured way to view batches, businesses often face severe operational hurdles:
- Accidental Sale of Expired Stock: Leading to legal risks and customer dissatisfaction.
- Financial Losses: Huge wastage because older stock remained hidden at the bottom of the list.
- Poor Stock Rotation: Inability to follow the FEFO (First Expiry First Out) method effectively.
- Compliance Failures: Difficulty in meeting regulatory standards for perishable or medical goods.
The Enable Sorting of Item Batches by Expiry Date Add‑on by Pragyantra solves this by automatically organizing your batches, putting the nearest expiry items right at the top during voucher entry.
What is “Expiry-Based Batch Sorting”?
This add‑on is a custom Tally module that re-orders the batch selection table logically. With this add‑on installed, Tally can:
- Nearest Expiry First: Automatically lists batches in ascending order of their expiry dates.
- Smart FEFO Implementation: Forces a disciplined stock rotation by highlighting what needs to go out first.
- Expired Stock Identification: Instantly detect batches that are already expired or nearing their end-of-life.
- Seamless Selection: Speeds up the billing process by removing the need to manually search for the "oldest" batch.
Why Businesses Need This Add‑on
In a fast-paced warehouse or retail counter, an operator doesn't have time to compare expiry dates of 10 different batches. If the system doesn't guide them, they will pick the easiest one—often the newest stock. The Pragyantra Batch Expiry Sorting Add‑on ensures automated stock discipline, protecting your business from inventory deadweight and wastage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Does it show expired batches at the top or the bottom?
The add-on sorts by date (earliest first). This means expired or near-expiry batches appear at the very top so they can be identified and dealt with immediately.
2. Can I still select a newer batch if I want to?
Yes. The add-on only changes the sorting order for your convenience. You still have full control to select any batch from the list as per your requirement.
3. Does it work with manufacturing dates as well?
This version is optimized for Expiry Dates. However, if your business requires sorting by 'Manufacturing Date' (FIFO), Pragyantra can provide a customized version for that.
4. Will this affect my Batch Summary reports?
No. It enhances the selection process during entry and can be integrated into reports to show you an organized view of what's expiring soon.
