Lot Number Expiration Date Calculation

in Ask A Guru 3 comments

Is there any way to find out the exact way that NetSuite calculates the expiration date of a lot number? Our production schedule is 24/7 at the moment and we're finding lots that were created around 1:00am Central Time with the expiration date being 1 day shorter than expected.

For example, this item X has a shelf life of 548 days. A quantity of 2,000lbs was produced and the lot number was generated at 12:54am on 4/6/26. The expiration date for that item in NS is 10/5/27 but we would have expected it to be 10/6/27.

Does this expiration date calculation take into account the company time zone shown in the system notes? How is it calculating the expiration date. It seems we only see these differences when lot codes are produced around midnight.
