Select Item Tracking Level
There are two levels of Item Tracking
First level: SN/Lot-specific tracking
If you want to track specific items or specific lots throughout their lifetime, you must choose the SN Specific Tracking and Lot Specific Tracking fields, respectively.
As a result, when handling an outbound unit of an item with this item tracking code, you must always specify which existing serial number or which existing lot number to handle.
This means that when selling a unit of the item, it must be applied against a specific pool of serial numbers or a specific lot number in inventory.
Or in other words, a serial number or lot number assigned to the item when entering into inventory must follow that item type out of inventory.

- You want to enable "Pick According to FEFO" (First Expired First Out) on the location.
