NPC Xpress Attribute: Minimum Lifespan From Time of Arrival at Retailer (days)
Last Modified: 05/02/2024
Description:

The period of days, guaranteed by the manufacturer, before the expiration date of the trade item, based on arrival to a mutually agreed to point in the buyers distribution system.

Example:

Milk products always have a “sell by” date. Therefore, you would enter 14 days for this attribute, if you can guarantee that the Retailer will always receive the product at least 14 days before the “sell by date.”
