Warehouse Terminology Spotlight: Understanding LIFO (Last In, First Out)
In the fast-paced world of warehousing, understanding inventory management methods can make a significant difference. One such method is LIFO, or Last In, First Out.
What is LIFO?
With LIFO, the newest items in inventory are sold or used first. This approach ensures that the most recently acquired items match with the current market or production costs. It’s a valuable method, particularly for industries dealing with fluctuating prices or time-sensitive stock.
Why does LIFO matter?
Using LIFO can help companies align inventory costs with current sales, making financial reporting more reflective of present-day costs and protecting against rising prices.
