Receiving stock and managing batches

Record incoming stock with batch numbers and expiry dates for full traceability.

4 min read

Stock is tracked in batches. Each batch carries its own quantity, expiry date, and supplier, which is what makes recalls and expiry management possible.

Add a batch

  1. 1Open the product and choose Restock / Add Batch.
  2. 2Enter the quantity received and the batch number.
  3. 3Enter the expiry date and, if known, the manufacturing date.
  4. 4Select the supplier and confirm the cost price.
  5. 5Save — the stock is added and the receipt is logged.

How stock is dispensed

When you sell an item, e-Pharm automatically draws from the batch expiring soonest (First-Expiry-First-Out). This minimises waste and keeps your shelves fresh without any manual batch picking.

For controlled and scheduled drugs, every receipt is also written to the Controlled Drug Register with a running balance.
