How to change the Manufacturing date in Batch Number during registration in Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM

Introduction

Any product that is manufactured has a Manufacturing date as one of the important aspects, as based on manufacturing date many other parameters are defined. i.e. Warranty date, Expiry date, etc.

In our day-to-day life, there are many items for which expiry date is very important. i.e. dairy products, packed food items, medicines, etc. While for other items expiry date is not important but warranty date is important. i.e. Electronic items, any other products having warranty, etc. Hence, manufacturing date plays an important role for both consumer as well as manufacturer.

Problem Statement

In scenario where batch no. need to create in advance before actual receipt. & while creating batch no., Manufacturing date (25 May) is assigned but once saved it can’t be changed from same screen.

Setup -> Released item -> Item model group -> Edit -> Inventory policies (Tab) -> Purchase registration -> Tick mark -> Save

2. Create PO -> Add line
