How do I check expired items?

The first step to checking expired items is to make sure that they Expired Items box in the upper left hand corner is checked.

Once you have that selected, you can pick your first item in the program.  To do that, just click on the item in Date Check Pro once you have found it on the shelf.  Date Check Pro will let you know which date you are looking for on the shelf.

Once you have searched the shelf and checked the date of every item, you can answer yes or no for whether or not the item is out of stock. 

If you select "Yes,"  the program will prompt you to enter the number of items you found with a date on, or before, the date in question.

After you type a number and hit the submit button, you will see the following screen.

After selecting the "Finished" button, you will be directed to enter the next closest date. If you selected "No" when asked if there are any items out of date, you will be automatically directed to this page and prompted to enter the next closest date.

If there are no products left on the shelf, you should select the "Out of Stock" option. If this item will no longer be used at your location, you should select discontinued. NOTE: Do not select "Discontinued" unless you are certain that the item will no longer be used at your location. If you are unsure, select "Out of Stock."

Once you have hit submit, the program will take you back to the view of all items that need to be checked.
