28.15. Wastage Prediction due to expiry when ordering

The problem

Prior to mSupply v7.12, when ordering or reporting on suggested ordering, you could simply tell mSupply to ignore stock that was going to expiry in three or four months time. mSupply would then lower it's stock level and order according to usages.
