Dating Fluid Bags When Removed from Outer Wrap

We are interested in the workflow organizations are using to apply an expiration date to fluid bags when they are first removed from their outer wrap. This is required by Joint Commission.

Is your workflow different for those bags stored in med rooms on patient units (these are currently supplied by our central supply services) vs. in central pharmacy?
