A shipment records which lots left the building, how many units, and who they went to.
- Open Inventory, then Packaged Inventory, and click New Shipment.
- Enter the Date and the Customer.
- Add item lines: pick a Lot and the Quantity shipped. The lot list only shows lots with units remaining.
- The FEFO Availability panel beside the form lists your lots per product, first to expire first, so you can pick the right lot without leaving the page.
- Click Record Shipment.
[facsimile candidate: New Shipment form with FEFO Availability panel]
Each shipped quantity is subtracted from the lot's units remaining. FourFoxes will not let you ship more than a lot has left, and it will not ship a lot that is still in its stage pipeline. A lot must be Ready for Sale first.
Every shipment appears on the Finished Goods Shipments list, and on the lot's own page under Shipments.
A forward recall trace follows a lot all the way to "Shipment to {customer}". If a shipment has no clear customer name, that trace ends with a data gap. Write the real customer, not "misc".
