A. B.

A.

The given solution proposes to incorporate automatic batch expiration dates for tracked items that are produced. The solution comprises the following steps:

  1. Assign shelf life period in days to the items that require expiration dates.
  2. Create a new batch number in the tracking dimensions for the items.
  3. Enter the manufacturing date.
  4. Save the record.

Let's analyze each step to determine if it meets the goal of incorporating automatic batch expiration dates for tracked items:

Step 1: Assign shelf life period in days to the items that require expiration dates. This step is essential for determining when an item will expire. By assigning a shelf life period in days to the items, the system will calculate the expiration date automatically based on the manufacturing date.

Step 2: Create a new batch number in the tracking dimensions for the items. Creating a new batch number is necessary to track the production batches of the items. This will allow the system to identify when a specific batch of items was produced and its corresponding expiration date.

Step 3: Enter the manufacturing date. Entering the manufacturing date is crucial for calculating the expiration date of the item. Without the manufacturing date, the system cannot calculate the expiration date.

Step 4: Save the record. Saving the record is necessary to ensure that the entered data is stored in the system.

Therefore, based on the given solution, it seems that the proposed steps meet the goal of incorporating automatic batch expiration dates for tracked items. Hence the correct answer is A. Yes.
