SAP Business One for Food and Beverages
SAP Business One helps food and beverage companies control recipes, batches, shelf life and distribution in one system. AIT has implemented SAP Business One since 2010 with a 100% Go-Live record, and sets it up for first-expiry-first-out stock and full batch traceability.
Common problems, and how SAP Business One solves them
| The problem today | With SAP Business One and AIT |
|---|---|
| Stock expires in the godown before it is sold | Expiry dates on every batch, first-expiry-first-out picking and near-expiry alerts. Batch and expiry management |
| Recipes and yields live in a notebook | Recipes are held as bills of materials, and production orders record actual yield and wastage. Bill of materials and production |
| Traceability for a complaint or audit is slow | Batch numbers link raw material lots to finished goods and to the customers who received them. Batch traceability |
| Distributor schemes and credit notes are manual | Schemes are applied on orders, and target-based credit notes are created in bulk with AIT's Credit Note add-on. AIT Credit Note add-on |
| Multiple pack sizes make stock confusing | Units of measure groups handle cases, packs and loose units for the same item. Units of measure |

Frequently asked questions
Does SAP Business One support first-expiry-first-out?
Yes. Batches carry expiry dates, and AIT configures picking so the earliest-expiring stock is issued first, with alerts for near-expiry stock.
Can SAP Business One help with FSSAI audits?
Yes. Batch traceability links raw materials, production and dispatch, which gives you the records an FSSAI audit or product complaint needs.
