Having some tips from them we started to learn, what bigger and older &#8220;colleagues&#8221; offer for the food industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>After a search in Google, we have refined the typical description for &#8220;food manufacturing software&#8221;. Even the first link drove us to a professionally styled website with the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Company X&nbsp;offers a complete food <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/manufacturing-software\/\">manufacturing software<\/a> solution for food and beverage manufacturers. Company X\u2019s food manufacturing software functionality includes formula and recipe management, forward and backward lot traceability, scalable batches, product grade management, bi-product and co-product processing, multi-level yield management, private-label operations, and good manufacturing practices (GMP) support.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is that? The list of functionalities above contains nothing specific for the food industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important differences with other industries, when you produce food, are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>raw materials have an expiry date;<\/li><li>final products have shelf lifetime;<\/li><li>sometimes the software may help with the calculation of nutrition content, but this is truly a specific function.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So we decided to implement the following functionality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Products have a property &#8220;Shelf life (in days)&#8221;. It is optional: some products may have it and others may not have it.<\/li><li>When you create a new purchase order or a stock lot, there is a field &#8220;Expiry date&#8221;. By default, it contains a value that is calculated based on shelf life, but it can be edited manually.<\/li><li>In Stock &#8211; Stock lots a column is added: &#8220;Expiry date&#8221;. You can sort or search stock lots by this date.<\/li><li>When software tries to book stock items (when creating a manufacturing order or booking a customer order), it books only products that are not expired.<\/li><li>When software&nbsp;tries to book stock items that have an expiry date, it books them not by FIFO, but by expiry date (products that expire first are booked first).<\/li><li>When creating a manufacturing order, the software automatically calculates Expiry date based on shelf life.<\/li><li>The software does not automatically delete expired stock lots. These lots can be found in Stock &#8211; Stock lots when searching for lots that have expiry date less than today. If they should be deleted, it must be done manually.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We decided to adjust MRPeasy software for several of our customers from the food manufacturing industry.
