Two boxes of the same product can be a year apart in shelf life. Zapeera treats them as what they are: different batches, with different costs and different deadlines.
Stock enters Zapeera through purchases. Each delivery can carry a batch number, a quantity, a purchase cost and an expiry date — and from that moment the batch is a first-class citizen: the POS sells from it, reports cost from it, and the expiry watch runs on it.
Selling follows FEFO — first-expiry, first-out. The register automatically picks the batch that expires soonest, so good stock discipline doesn't depend on a cashier remembering which box came first. If a sale needs a different batch, the cashier can still choose — the default simply protects you.
Why pharmacies build on thisAlmost every expired item was sellable a month earlier. The failure is never the date itself — it's discovering the date too late. Zapeera's expiry reporting puts near-expiry stock in front of you while you can still sell it, discount it or return it to the supplier.
That single habit — reading the expiry list weekly — is where batch-tracked shops quietly save the money that notebook shops write off.
