Method of moving older stock before newer stock.

Stock rotation is the practice of organizing and picking inventory in a specific sequence to avoid spoilage or obsolescence. This ensures older stock is shipped first. The most common method is FIFO (First-In, First-Out), though LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) may apply in certain accounting or storage situations.
