Three pain points this sector knows all too well
01 A recall without knowing who bought it
A raw material turns out to be defective, and you need to know today which batches used it and which customers received them.
HOW ODOO SOLVES IT
Every movement is linked to a lot. Full backward and forward traceability takes one click.
02 An expiration date nobody saw coming
El almacén saca lo que está a la mano, el lote viejo se queda al fondo y la merma se descubre cuando ya es pérdida.
HERE'S HOW ODOO SOLVES IT
Each lot has an expiration date and stock removal prioritizes the earliest expiration. The system suggests the right lot.
03 Inspections that require a history
Regulations require proof of what came in, what was produced, how it was inspected and where it went.
HERE'S HOW ODOO SOLVES IT
Quality checks at receiving, production and delivery, with results recorded by lot and ready for inspection.
The batch as the common thread
from purchasing raw materials to traceable delivery
The apps this industry uses every day
SCENE 1 · EXPIRATION DATE
The lot at the back
expires on Friday
Two batches of the same product: one expires this week, another in December. Odoo suggests the urgent batch for the next delivery — first to expire, first out.
Expiration date by lot
Prioritized stock removal by expiration date
Prevent waste instead of regretting it
SCENE 2 · RECIPE
The recipe calls for 48,
the scale reads 50
Recipes live as BoMs and production orders record actual consumption, including waste — every batch costs exactly what was used.
Recipes managed as bills of materials
Actual consumption per order
Costs include material waste
SCENE 3 · INSPECTION
The inspector asks for
the lot's history
Which receipt it came from, which checks it passed, and which customers received it: the batch history starts with its first movement and is available in one click
Complete lot traceability across the supply chain
Toward the supplier and toward the customer
WHO IT'S FOR
If your product has an expiration date, this is for you.
Bakeries and pastry shops
Recipes with actual waste tracking and lots shipped before expiry.
Beverage and bottling companies
Continuous production, with lots traceable to Point of Sale.
Meat, dairy and perishable products

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What we get asked most before getting started
01 Does Odoo manage lots and expiration dates?
Sí — los productos se rastrean por lote, y cada lote lleva su fecha de caducidad en recepciones, producción y entregas.
02 Can items with the earliest expiration dates go out first?
Yes: the removal strategy prioritizes expiration dates, and the system suggests the lot that expires first for deliveries and consumption.
03 Can I trace a lot all the way to the customer?
Both ways: from supplier materials to the deliveries containing them — the complete chain, one click away.
04 How are recipes managed?
Through Manufacturing bills of materials, with production orders recording actual consumption — including scrap.
05 Does this require a huge implementation?
No — se implementa por etapas: típicamente inventario con lotes primero, luego producción y calidad. Platicamos tu caso y armamos el plan.
