For perishable goods like consumables, health products, or beauty items, traceability is critical. When fulfilling B2B orders to retailers or wholesalers, you can select specific lot numbers and expiration dates for each product in your shipment. This ensures that your customers receive inventory with the batch tracking information they need for compliance and quality control.
B2B orders are shipped to retailers or wholesalers and often require special handling due to order size or product type. For perishable goods, such as consumables, health, or beauty products, a single lot ID per order is required for traceability. Jetpack allows you to select a lot ID for each product within a B2B order.
By following these structured steps, you can efficiently manage B2B orders with lot selection in the Jetpack dashboard and ensure that lot information is accurate and up to date for traceability purposes.
