Correcting An Inventory Expiration
If you enter an expiration wrong at receipt and need to correct it, you will want to follow these steps in Vestigo. Note, that if you entered an expiration date during an Expiration Update, you should still use the Update an Expiration Date pathway for that correction.
Corrections to the Expiration Date will edit any selected inventory, create an Inventory Edit transaction and an entry in the Audit Log, and will edit all historical receipts, send outs and prescription fills where this inventory ID was used.
