Expiration dates are recorded on the package level in Meadow.
Record expiration dates in two ways:
In a purchase order during package reception
Create a purchase order and navigate to the receptions tab. Select the package and enter the expiration date.
2. After product is received in package details
After a product has been received, enter the expiration date at any time. Find the package, edit the expiration date on the package details view.
Manage Expiring Product in Admin
If you go to the Metrc tab and look at Packages —> Received, you can view each package and add or edit an expiration date. You can also use the "sort by expiration" to sort packages and view their expiration date in the list.
Manage Expiring Product in Reports
If you prefer to use reports, you can use either the Packages report or the Current Inventory report (packages tab) to view, sort or filter by package expiration date.
Packages Report:
Generate packages report for any specified date range. The date range will reflect all packages received during that time period.
Sort column T, Expiration date
Current Inventory Report:
Generate a current inventory report. This is a report containing a snapshot of all current inventory from the moment you generate it.
Navigate to the packages tab. View, sort or filter by package expiration date or "days until expiry"
What to do with expired product
If you are approaching a product's expiration date, consider putting the product on sale. Negotiate a deal with the distributor to receive credit on a future invoice.

If you have expired product on hand, contact the distributor for next steps.
You may be eligible for a credit, need to reconcile the inventory, or send a return transfer in Metrc.
If you want to move forward with removing the expired product from inventory, create a reconciliation.
Once you come across expired inventory, your best bet would be to set the physical product aside so budtenders are not tempted to sell it. Making the product Inactive in Meadow or transferring it to a quarantine location is also recommended.
