Both, configurable per product. FIFO (first-in-first-out) drives pick order by receipt date; FEFO (first-expired-first-out) drives by expiration date. Most food customers run FEFO for date-sensitive products and FIFO for shelf-stable. The pick app sorts the list automatically; a supervisor override leaves an audit trail with the reason for the override.

Nautilus integrates with continuous temperature monitors (DeltaTrak, MadgeTech, Sensitech, or our own paired sensor). Excursions outside the configured range alert immediately to a configured pager list. The excursion report exports with timestamps, duration, and which lots were in the affected zone, ready to attach to a credit request or an FDA submission.

Yes. The recall query takes a lot number and returns every receipt, transfer, pick, ship, and current location for any unit from that lot. On the customer side, it returns every order that includes a unit from that lot, including customer contact information. Most recalls execute in under 5 minutes; the bottleneck becomes reaching out to affected customers, not finding them.

Co-products (the same SKU produced from different inputs at different costs) post at weighted-average cost across all active lots. The cost basis recalculates on each receipt; reporting can view either current weighted average or per-lot actual cost. For yield-variance accounting, transformations record both input quantities and output yields so variance reports surface meaningful production efficiency data.
