Expired Lot/Serial Audible Notification

This feature enhances the inventory management process by providing an audio distinction for items with lot or expiration numbers during barcode scanning. The audible notification serves as an immediate prompt for users to enter necessary information, reducing errors and improving the completeness of inventory records.
