The aging is the period of time in days from the moment a product is received in the inventory. This is very important for pricing since the older the product is, the lower the price will be. Komet allows keeping track of this from several screens. |
How the Aging is Calculate?
Once an arrival date is assigned to an in-transit product, their aging will start running.
