How do I automatically get alerts for expiring lots in Cin7 before they become write-offs?
WebRun opens Cin7 every morning and scans all lot-tracked inventory for expiry dates. Any lot expiring within 60 days is flagged, ranked by urgency, and posted to Slack with lot number, SKU, quantity, location, and total at-risk value. Your team can then prioritize those lots for fulfillment, promotion, or return before the expiry date turns stock into a write-off.
- Expiring lots caught 60 days out, not the day before they expire
- At-risk stock value visible every morning so the team can prioritize action
- Write-offs reduced by clearing lots through fulfillment or promotions in time

Questions, answered
Will it automatically write off or dispose of expired lots in Cin7?
No. WebRun alerts your team to expiring lots. Write-offs, disposals, or promotions to clear the stock are human decisions so nothing is removed from Cin7 without your team acting on it.
Can I adjust the 60-day alert window?
Yes. Tell WebRun your preferred lead window during setup, such as 90 days for products with long promotion cycles, and it will flag lots within that period instead.
What if a lot is already picked for a confirmed order?
WebRun reads available stock quantities from Cin7. Lots already allocated to confirmed sales orders will show the remaining unallocated quantity, so the alert focuses on truly at-risk stock.
