Pharmacy batch & expiry basics for Ghana shops

Simple batch and expiry habits for Ghana pharmacies and chemical shops — what to capture at goods-in and how POS helps at sale time.

Capture batch at goods-in

When stock arrives, record batch ID and expiry before it hits the shelf. Skipping this step makes every later recall painful.

Sell FEFO, not only FIFO

First-expiry-first-out reduces write-offs. A pharmacy POS should warn when a scanned batch is near expiry.

Keep OTCs and Rx paths clear

Publish safe OTCs online if you want; keep prescription flows staff-assisted. DwumaPOS pharmacy tools are built around that split.
