Find any physical lot on the stock items list or by its number, then open it to see where it's stored, how much is left, and when it expires.
Real help from real food people
Chef Diego runs a real food plant. If this page didn't get you there, tell us — a person reads every message.
A driver idles at the dock, or an auditor stands at your desk, and someone reads you a lot number off a case: they need to know where that batch is, how much is left, and when it goes off — now, not after an afternoon in a spreadsheet that stopped matching the floor months ago. In Bettr that's a lookup. Open Stock items and every lot in your active company is there to search, open, and read.
The list holds every in your active company, and it opens sorted by nearest expiry so the batch closest to its date sits at the top.
Open Inventory → Stock items
In the top navigation, open Inventory and select Stock items.
Search or filter to the product
Type a name into Search by product name, or pick one from the All products filter, to cut the list down to the product you're chasing.
Sort to bring the lot up
Choose Sort by expiration (the default), product, lot, or quantity, and flip between ascending and descending with the direction toggle beside it.
Open the lot
Select the row to open the lot's detail. Each row already shows its product, lot number, cases on hand, and expiry date.
The nearest-expiry lot sits on top
Because the list defaults to sorting by expiration, it reads in . The lot you most likely need to move, ship, or trace is usually the one already at the top.
Opening a lot reads like the label on the box:
An Available badge sits beside the product name; a removed lot reads Deleted instead. Generate label prints a fresh lot label — the lot number, product, and expiry — for the floor.
Looking for a lot you've used up?
Fully drawn-down lots are hidden by default. Tick Include zero-quantity items to bring them back — which is exactly what you need when a recall reaches back to a batch you've already shipped out.
When you already have the number in hand, skip the list. Select Scan QR Code at the top of the stock items page, then point the camera at the lot label's QR code, or type the number into Enter lot number and select Find. Either way Bettr opens that lot's detail. It matches both the lot's own number and a supplier's alternative lot number, so whichever code is stamped on the case gets you there.
A lot's detail is a snapshot: where it is, how much is left, when it expires. To follow the batch through time — every receipt, pick, shipment, and production output it touched — read the movement ledger instead.
Open Stock movements to walk a lot's in both directions — forward to every shipment it went into, and backward to the supplier it came from. That's the trail a mock recall or an audit runs on, and it's kept in full: nothing is ever typed over.
