pixi Mobile supports BBD and Batch Number management as well as GS1 barcodes. In order to use BBD and Batch management in pixi, the related tags need to be assigned to items (Batch Number [BN], Best Before Date [BBD]). If you scan a tagged item, you need provide item information for every stock movement. In case you scan GS1 item barcodes, the needed information for BN and BBD are automatically transferred.

BBD and Batch Management can only be used, if the database setting Enable Batch Management (pixi Control Center > Database Settings > General) was enabled.
