[Inventory Edits](https://vestigohelp.mccreadiegroup.com/en/knowledgebase/inventory?hsLang=en#inventory-edits) September 25, 2026 # Correcting An Inventory Expiration If you enter an expiration wrong at receipt and need to correct it, you will want to follow these steps in Vestigo. Note, that if you entered an expiration date during an *Expiration Update*, you should still use the *Update an Expiration Date* pathway for that correction. Corrections to the Expiration Date will edit any selected inventory, create an Inventory Edit transaction and an entry in the Audit Log, and will edit all historical receipts, send outs and prescription fills where this inventory ID was used.   1. Navigate to the protocol. 2. Click on the **Inventory Tab.** 3. Click on **View/Edit Inventory**. 4. Select the drug from the *drop down menu*.   5. Locate the item(s) you need to edit.  Additionally, you can also add a filter by lot number here as well. If you are trying to correct already dispensed or quarantined inventory, you may need uncheck the status flag to show items with a quantity of 0   6. Click on the **Edit **link on the right side.   If you are editing multiple items from the same lot number, you only need to click on Edit for an item in that lot number.   7.

If you selected the wrong lot number, go back and click on the appropriate inventory 8. Select **Correct an Expiration Date** from the drop down menu. 9. A grid will appear of inventory you can select that you wish to update. The grid defaults to 5 visible rows of inventory.
