Maintaining Traceability in FMCG warehouse for Promotional items

Hello everyone

We are a FMCG company and time to time we do a promo for some food products.

We have a software that manages traceability in the warehouse for inbounds and outbounds.

I want to know how we can manage traceability for promotional food products as we sell two products as one.

For example we have :

Item 1 : Expiry Date 09/01/2025 , Batch number 001

Item 2  : Expiry Date 09/06/2025 , Batch number 004

And we want to sell Item 1 & Item 2 as one product for a a discount.

Actually, we create another item (Item 3) in the system and give it the lesser expiry which is Item 1 (09/01/2025) but this is wrong as Item 2 traceability is lost.  :oops2:

Can you advise me how to maintain traceability for this kind of promotional products please  :shutup:

Have a nice day

It depends largely on what "system" you're creating the sold item in. 

You can maintain a separate record for such merged batch number.
