FIFO (First-In, First-Out)

Oldest inventory is picked or sold first.

FIFO means that the first items received are the first to be picked or sold. It’s used to prevent aging stock and is standard in industries like food, cosmetics, and fashion. For example, when picking skincare products, warehouse workers select the oldest expiration date first.
