Expired Products Return Portal
Spot stock that is about to expire, move it before it does, and handle returns, supplier claims and credit notes automatically in SAP S/4HANA.
Expired stock costs more than the goods
In pharma, retail and food and beverage, expired inventory means written-off stock, compliance risk and complicated reverse logistics.
Our Expired Products Return Portal replaces manual expiry checks and spreadsheets with one system connected to SAP, from the first expiry warning to the final return and credit.
Why it matters
Expired goods are a double loss: the value of the stock and the cost of compliance issues. Manual checks miss deadlines. The portal handles the whole process, from early warnings to return authorization, so you act in time.
Main features
- SAP S/4HANA integration: stock levels, credit memos and compliance records stay in sync with SAP, without re-entry.
- Early warnings: instead of reporting what has already expired, the portal flags stock at risk weeks or months ahead.
- Redistribution suggestions: based on consumption rates and demand, it recommends transfers between warehouses or stores before stock expires.
- Automated returns: pick-up scheduling and warehouse reconciliation are handled in one workflow.
- Supplier claims: claims for near-expiry goods are triggered automatically, so money is recovered sooner.
- Compliance records: certificates, batch traceability, recall logs and audit trails in one secure place.
- Dashboards: return patterns and causes such as overstocking or slow-moving SKUs, to improve future purchasing.
What you get
- Fewer write-offs
- Faster recovery of money from suppliers
- Less manual work for finance and warehouse teams
- Audit-ready records for regulated products
- Better purchasing decisions
