POS Lot Selection FEFO

FEFO Lot Suggestion

Suggested lots/serials are re-ordered by expiration date, ascending, so the batch closest to expiring is offered first.

Standard POS Popup

Works inside the existing Point of Sale lot/serial popup — no new screens, buttons, or steps for the cashier.

Serial & Lot Support

Handles both lot-tracked and serial-tracked products — a serial with the earliest expiry is offered first for single-unit items.

Dated Lots Only

Lots without an expiration date are pushed to the bottom of the list, never hidden; non-dated products behave exactly as standard POS.

No Configuration Required

Activates automatically per product once Tracking and Use Expiration Date are set — nothing to enable on the module itself.

Lightweight

A single method override on pos.order.line — no new models, views, menus, security groups, or cron jobs.

Dependencies

Automatic FEFO Ordering

Standard Point of Sale lists available lots in whatever order the database returns them. This module re-sorts that list by expiration date the moment the lot popup opens, so the batch closest to expiring is always at the top.

• Sorting happens server-side on every lot/serial lookup, ascending by expiration date
• Lots without a set expiration date fall to the bottom instead of interrupting the FEFO order
• Reduces shrinkage from expired stock without adding a manual stock-rotation step

Zero-Click Cashier Experience

There is nothing new to learn at the till. The FEFO ordering happens inside the exact same lot/serial popup cashiers already use — they just tap the topmost entry, same as before.

• No new buttons, screens, or training required
• Standard "no existing serial/lot number" behaviour is untouched when no dated stock is available
• Non-tracked products behave exactly as stock Point of Sale
