What is batch number?

A batch number identifies goods made together. A shop that records it on each delivery can sell the nearest expiry first, find a recalled lot, and know what each lot cost.

Example

Two deliveries of one syrup: batch A expires in March at ₹62, batch B in August at ₹66. A sale should take batch A first, and its profit uses ₹62.

  • Profit per lot, from what that lot cost.

What Nivasik does not do
