FIFO vs FEFO Inventory Management

FIFO (first in, first out) and FEFO (first expire, first out) are allocation rules. FIFO is about receipt order. FEFO is about expiry dates. Pharmacies and food businesses usually need FEFO.

When FEFO is the safer rule

If products expire, selling the oldest box is not enough — you must sell the lot that expires soonest. Sphereventory supports lot tracking, expiry dates and FEFO allocation at sale.
