Medicine expiry tracking and first-expiry-first-out selling
Expired medicine is a safety risk and a direct loss. MitiMed tracks every batch's expiry date, sells the earliest-expiring batch first and stops expired stock from being sold at the counter or online.
FEFO by default
When a medicine is sold, MitiMed takes stock from the batch that expires first, so older stock moves before newer stock without staff having to remember.
Expired stock is blocked
Expired and quarantined batches cannot be sold. You can also set a minimum remaining shelf life so batches close to expiry are not sold or delivered.
- Minimum shelf-life rule per pharmacy
- Clear messages at the POS explaining why a batch can't be sold
- Same rules apply to online orders at handover
Early warnings
The expiry list and alerts show what expires in the coming weeks and months, so you can sell it in time, return it to the supplier or plan smaller orders.
Know your expiry loss
Write-offs for expired or damaged stock are recorded with a reason. The loss report shows their combined cost, and stock history shows the reason for each write-off.
