FIFO - FEFO - LIFO

All the above are inventory management methods that are used to manage the flow of goods and materials in a business. Here is a brief overview of each method:   1. First In, First Out (FIFO): In a FIFO system, the oldest inventory is sold or used first, and the most recently acquired inventory is sold or used last. This results in the cost of goods sold (COGS) reflecting the older, lower-cost inventory, while the ending inventory consists of the more recently acquired, higher-cost inventory.
