What does FIFO stand for in inventory management?

First-Out, First-In

First-In, First-Out

FIFO stands for First-In, First-Out. This means the oldest inventory you receive is the first to be used or sold. It helps keep stock fresh and reduces waste, especially with perishable items. Practically, you rotate stock so older cans, boxes, or ingredients are used before newer ones. In accounting terms, it also means the cost assigned to the goods sold comes from the oldest inventory on hand. The key idea is the order of use, not the order of arrival being reversed.
