  If there is no management, the fields status and lead time cannot be entered.
• Without rounding
  The expiry date is calculated based on the number of days.
• Rounding month end
  The expiry date is calculated based on a rounded value on the month's end.
• Rounding month start + 1
  The expiry date is calculated based on a rounded value on the next month's start.
• Mandatory entry
  If the option "Mandatory entry" is selected, an entry window for the expiry date will automatically open when recording of the stock receipt. The expiry date will be initialized based on the reference date and lead time.
• Manual entry
  If the option "Manual entry" is selected, an entry window for the expiry date will open automatically when recording the stock receipt. The expiry date will be blank.

 The expiry date management is only possible if the product is managed by lot.
