A season is a named date range. The age of an Item is determined by the season within which the item creation date is falling. Defining a season is mandatory for creating any item in Ginesys. If any season is not defined, on creating item form, the system will prompt an error message stating the same. In case the season expires, you need to define a new season in order to proceed with Item Creation. The Season feature is available in Ginesys Web - Inventory - Product Definition - Setup - Season.
