39. FIFO (First In First Out)
What: An inventory management method.
Why: To keep inventory fresh.
When: In stock management.
Where: Warehouses.
Who: Inventory managers.
How: By using older stock first.
Why FIFO?
1. Managing Perishable Goods
Advantage: FIFO ensures that items bought or made first are sold or used first, which is critical
for products that have a limited shelf life.
Example: A grocery store uses FIFO to make sure older dairy products, like milk, are sold
before newer stock arrives, reducing waste and preventing spoilage.
2. When Prices Are Falling
Advantage: If the prices of goods are decreasing, FIFO helps companies sell off older, more
expensive inventory first, which shows higher profits when newer stock is purchased at a lower
cost.
Example: A company selling smartphones that regularly decrease in price can use FIFO to sell
off older, higher-priced phones before the value drops further, maximizing profit on those items.
3. Accurate Costing and Profit Calculation
Advantage: FIFO often provides a clearer and more accurate reflection of current inventory
costs since the remaining stock is based on the newest purchases.
Example: A hardware store using FIFO for tracking inventory costs will have a clearer picture of
its most current stock value, making financial reports more accurate and realistic.
4. Compliance with Health and Safety Regulations
Advantage: FIFO is beneficial for industries that require strict compliance with health and safety
regulations, ensuring older stock is used or sold first to meet standards.
Example: A pharmaceutical company must ensure that medications nearing their expiration date
are distributed before newer batches, maintaining compliance and safety for customers.
5. Simple and Logical Inventory Management
Advantage: FIFO is easy to understand and manage, making it ideal for companies with simple
inventory systems or a wide range of products.
Example: A clothing retailer using FIFO can ensure that last season’s stock is sold before
displaying new collections, keeping inventory fresh and organized while minimizing
overstocking.
1. FIFO: "Fife-O" 2. FIRST: "Fur + Seat"
3. OLD: "Owl" 4. Perishable: "Pear + Shovel"
5. Price: "Fry(ing pan) + Ice"
6. Fall: "Fall (waterfall)" 7. Accurate: "A + Cart" 8. Cost: "Coast" 9. Profit: "Poor + Feet"
10. Health: "Hell + Light" 11. Safety: "Ship + Tea" 12. Logical: "Loo + Jackal" 13. Inventory: "In +
Vent + Tree"14. Management: "Man + Jay + Mint"
40. LIFO (Last In First Out)
What: An inventory method for recent stock use.
Why: To prioritize newer inventory.
When: In stock rotation.
Where: Warehouses.
Who: Inventory staff.
How: By using newest stock first.
Why LIFO?
1. When Prices Are Going Up
How it Helps: If the prices of things are getting higher, using LIFO means selling the stuff that
was bought last (and costs more) first. This can make a company show lower profits, which
means it might pay less in taxes.
Example: Imagine a store selling smartphones. If the prices of new phones keep going up, the
store sells the newer (and more expensive) phones first. This makes it seem like the store spent
more on its products, so it pays less in taxes.
2. Quick-Moving Stuff(Trendy) That Doesn’t Take Up Much Space
How it Helps: When a company sells items quickly, using LIFO makes sure the newest stuff gets
sold first so that older stuff doesn’t sit around too long.
Example: A clothing store sells trendy clothes that change every season. By selling the newest
clothes first, the store makes sure it keeps up with trends, and any older clothes can be put on
sale or sold at discounts.
3. Keeping Track of Costs for Changing Prices
How it Helps: In businesses where the prices of materials change a lot, LIFO helps keep costs
in line with what’s happening in the market.
Example: A company that buys lots of steel to make products. When steel prices go up, it
makes sure to sell the things made with the most recently bought (and more expensive) steel.
This makes the company’s numbers match the real costs better.
4. Handling Items That Don’t Go Bad but Prices Change Quickly
How it Helps: For products that don’t expire or go bad but have changing prices, LIFO lets
companies sell the newer stuff first to keep up with market changes.
Example: A company selling food additives that don’t go bad. If the market prices go up and
down quickly, it sells the newest stock first to keep its prices flexible without wasting anything.
5. Reducing Losses on Old, Less Valuable Stuff
How it Helps: LIFO helps companies avoid losing money by selling the newest stuff first, so they
don’t end up stuck with older, less valuable items.
Example: A tech company has microchips, but new, faster ones come out all the time. By selling
the newest chips first, they don’t have to worry about being stuck with old chips that no one
wants.

Definition of Reconciliation:
Reconciliation refers to the process of comparing two sets of records to ensure they are
consistent and accurate. In the context of store management, it involves verifying and balancing
the recorded stock of materials with the actual physical inventory, resolving any discrepancies.
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Reconciliation:
Purpose:
To ensure accurate and timely reconciliation of Class 1 materials issued to and returned from
EQA, sub-contractors, and other stakeholders to maintain transparency and correct records.
Procedure:
1. Preparation Phase:
Data Collection: Gather data on all Class 1 materials issued/returned using ERP/TALLY system
records, and physical records maintained at project sites.
Coordination: Notify all concerned departments (EQA, sub-contractors, Site Store team, Internal
Audit team, etc.) about the upcoming reconciliation process.
2. Reconciliation Steps:
Comparison of Records: Compare the net issue values (materials issued minus returned) with
the consumption records (JMC).
Physical Verification: Conduct a joint physical verification of material lying with sub-contractors,
execution teams, and other relevant locations.
ERP Data Reconciliation: Reconcile the stock recorded in the ERP/TALLY system with the
physical counts to identify discrepancies.
Balance Stock Assessment: Assess balance stock lying with sub-contractors, including net
quantities issued and consumption data.
3. Identification and Resolution of Discrepancies:
Corrective Actions: Note any discrepancies found between system records and physical stock.
Identify the cause and responsibility.
Reporting: Submit a reconciliation report, detailing the observed variations and proposed
corrective actions, to the concerned departments (e.g., EQA department).
4. Final Approval and Submission:
Deficient Material Reporting: In case of material found deficient after verification, prepare a
report and submit it to the Accounts Department for debiting to the sub-contractor.
Final Verification: Conduct a final verification review to ensure all records are accurately
updated.
5. Documentation and Record Keeping:
Maintain records of reconciliation reports, corrective actions taken, and communications with
departments for audit purposes.

Quantity: How much of each thing do you need? Like, "10 planks of wood" or "2 boxes of nails."
Unit Price: If you know how much one item costs, you can write it down. Maybe each wooden
plank costs ₹200.
Total Price: The total cost for everything. If you need 10 wooden planks, and each costs ₹200,
then the total would be ₹2000.
Supplier: Who’s selling it? If you have a favorite store, you can write that down.
Requestor: Who is asking for the materials? In this case, it could be you!
Approval: Someone, like your teacher or project leader, has to sign and approve that it’s okay to
buy these things.
Why:
Accountability: It helps everyone know who asked for the items and why. This way, people can
track what was requested.

spend too much on wood and not have enough money left for nails, right?
Organizes the Process: It makes it easy for the people who are buying the stuff to know exactly
what to get.
Prevents Mistakes: By writing down everything, there’s less chance of buying the wrong items.
When:
You use this form before buying things. For example, when you realize you need more wood for
the treehouse, you fill out this form first to get approval before the materials are purchased.

Requestor: The person who needs the materials. If you're the one building the treehouse, you
would be the requestor.
Purchasing Department: The people who will go and buy the materials.
Approver: Someone in charge, like your project leader or teacher, who gives permission to buy
the items.
How:
You can fill out the form on paper or on a computer. These days, a lot of companies use
computers to manage everything. It’s like when you use an app to order pizza but for materials.
Example:
Let’s say you’re building a treehouse, but you run out of wood. You would fill out a Material
Requisition Purchase Form asking for:
10 wooden planks
2 boxes of nails
A can of blue paint
You’d write down where you want to buy it from (maybe the local hardware store), how much it
costs, and why you need it (to finish your treehouse!). After your teacher or leader approves it,
the purchasing department will go buy everything and make sure it gets to you so you can finish
your treehouse.
Components of a Basic Form:
1. Requisition Number: A special number that helps track your request.
2. Date: The day you asked for the materials.
3. Department: Where you're working or studying.

DI: Dispatch Instruction
A Dispatch Instruction is a formal document or directive that outlines the specific details
regarding the dispatch of goods from one location to another. It serves as a guideline for
ensuring that the movement of goods is accurate, timely, and complies with all necessary
requirements. Below is a breakdown using the What, Why, When, Where, Who, and How format
along with its validity in India:
What:
A Dispatch Instruction typically includes:
Description of the goods to be dispatched.
Quantity and type of goods.
Destination address.
Date and time of dispatch.
Mode of transportation (e.g., truck, rail, air).
Instructions for handling and packaging.
Contact information of the shipper and receiver.
Special requirements (e.g., temperature control, fragile handling).
Why:
Dispatch Instructions are crucial for several reasons:
Accuracy: Ensures that the correct goods are sent to the right location.
Compliance: Helps in complying with legal and regulatory requirements, especially when
transporting goods across state or national borders.
Communication: Provides clear instructions to the dispatch team, drivers, and handlers.
Tracking: Enables easier tracking of goods and managing delivery timelines.
Accountability: Defines responsibilities, ensuring that both parties (shipper and receiver) have a
clear understanding of what is being transported.
When:
Dispatch Instructions are usually issued:
Before the goods leave the warehouse or factory to ensure all parties involved have clear
information about the shipment.
They can also be issued in response to a sales order or after a purchase agreement has been
finalized.
Where:
Dispatch Instructions are used:
In warehouses, manufacturing units, distribution centers, and logistics hubs.
For domestic as well as international shipments.
Across industries like manufacturing, retail, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and more.
Who:
The Dispatch Instruction is typically prepared by:
The shipper or manufacturer.
Logistics coordinators or warehouse managers.
In certain cases, the customer or buyer might specify certain dispatch requirements.
It is addressed to:
The logistics team, driver, or transportation company responsible for moving the goods.
It may also be shared with the customer or receiver to inform them about the dispatch details.
How:
The Dispatch Instruction is often issued:
In written form, either as a hard copy document or digitally via an ERP system or logistics
management software.
It may also include other documents like shipping labels, delivery challans, or commercial
invoices.
Validity in India:
In India, the validity and importance of a Dispatch Instruction are governed by various legal and
regulatory frameworks, depending on the type of goods and mode of transport:
Compliance with GST and e-Way Bill: For the movement of goods above a certain value
threshold, a valid e-Way Bill is mandatory under the GST regime. The dispatch instruction often
accompanies this bill to provide more granular details.
Validity in Court: In case of disputes (e.g., non-delivery, damaged goods), a Dispatch Instruction
can serve as a valid legal document, as it details the responsibilities and terms agreed upon by
both parties.
Transportation Regulations: The Dispatch Instruction must comply with the Central Motor
Vehicles Act (for road transport) and relevant state laws.
In summary, a Dispatch Instruction is a critical document for organizing and controlling the
movement of goods, ensuring compliance with regulations, and providing clear communication
in logistics. In India, its importance is heightened due to requirements like the e-Way Bill and
other regulatory frameworks related to the movement of goods.
A Dispatch Instruction is like a set of directions that tell people how to move items from one
place to another. Imagine you're sending a package to a friend in another city. The Dispatch
Instruction helps everyone involved (like the people at the warehouse or the delivery driver)
know exactly what to do. Let's break it down:
What:
A Dispatch Instruction tells you things like:
What the package is (e.g., toys, clothes, food).
How much stuff is in the package (like 5 toys or 10 books).
Where it's going (your friend’s house or school).
When it needs to be sent (like today or tomorrow).
How it's getting there (by truck, airplane, or train).
Special care instructions (like if it’s fragile and could break easily).
Why:
Why is a Dispatch Instruction important? Think of it like a recipe for making sure the package
gets to the right place on time.
It helps people send the right items to the correct address.
It makes sure the delivery follows rules and doesn’t break any laws.
It keeps everyone on the same page, so they know what needs to be done.
It helps people track the package so they know where it is at all times.
It makes sure everyone knows who's responsible if something goes wrong.
When:
Dispatch Instructions are written before the package leaves the warehouse or factory. It’s like
writing down all the details about the package before giving it to the delivery person.
Where:
They’re used in places like:
Warehouses where products are stored.
Factories where things are made.
Logistics centers where items are organized and sent out.
Who:
The Dispatch Instruction is usually written by:
The company or person sending the goods.
The warehouse manager or the people in charge of shipping.
It’s given to:
The delivery driver or the transportation company that will deliver the package.
It may also be shared with the person receiving the package so they know when it’s coming.
How:
The instructions are usually written down either:
On paper, like a receipt or delivery note.
Digitally, on a computer or in a special app that tracks deliveries.
Validity in India:
In India, Dispatch Instructions follow certain laws and rules:
If the items are worth a lot of money, they need a special document called an e-Way Bill to make
sure they follow the GST rules (like a tax rule).
If there’s a problem (like the wrong items being sent), the Dispatch Instruction can be used as
proof in court to figure out what went wrong.
There are also rules about how items should be moved on trucks and other vehicles, and the
Dispatch Instruction helps follow those rules.
Example:
Imagine you're sending a big box of chocolates to your cousin in another city. A Dispatch
Instruction would say:
What’s inside the box (chocolates).
How many chocolates (20 boxes).
Where to send it (your cousin’s house).
How to send it (by truck).
Any special instructions (keep it cool so the chocolate doesn’t melt).
Sure! Let’s explore each of these questions regarding dispatch instructions in an
easy-to-understand way, using examples where appropriate.
1. What are dispatch instructions, and why are they important in logistics?

Reconciliation
As a storekeeper, here are several scenarios that could lead to stock imbalances related to
material issues:
1. Incorrect Quantity Entry: The material was issued in a smaller quantity, but the DC (Delivery
Challan), Issue Slip, or Stock Transfer (ST) slip recorded a larger amount. This discrepancy
results in over-reporting in the system, showing less stock on hand than actually present.
2. Duplicate Issue Slips: Sometimes, the same quantity of material might be issued twice due to
the generation of duplicate issue slips or DCs. This could happen due to manual error or system
lag, where the system doesn't recognize the initial entry, leading to another one being created.
3. Return Not Recorded Properly: If materials are returned after an issue but the return is not
logged, the physical stock will be more than the recorded stock. This often occurs when returns
are informal or not documented with a proper return slip.
4. Wrong Material Code: Material is issued under a similar but incorrect material code. This
mistake causes an imbalance because the stock of the issued material will appear lower, while
the unissued material remains higher than actual.
5. Partial Issuance Documented as Full: When only part of the requested quantity is issued, but
the full quantity is documented in the system. This can cause a mismatch between actual and
recorded stock.
6. Theft or Loss of Material: Materials might be taken without proper documentation or
accounting. When materials are lost, damaged, or even stolen without adjusting the records, the
stock records show more than what is actually available.
7. System Error or Delay: Sometimes, delays in updating the system after issuance or system
errors lead to incorrect inventory counts, with either missing or excess quantities recorded.
8. Uncounted Damage or Scrap: Materials that become damaged or are scrapped after being
issued may not always be recorded, which could lead to excess inventory on the system without
any physical material to match.
In each of these cases, an imbalance is created between the physical stock and the recorded
inventory, causing stock discrepancies.
Imagine you're managing a small store filled with different toys, books, and snacks, and you
have to keep track of everything so you don't run out or lose anything. Here are some ways
things can go wrong with your inventory, like a stock imbalance:
1. Wrong Quantity Recorded: Let’s say you give someone 3 candies, but you accidentally write
down that you gave 5 candies. Now, your record shows you have less candy than you actually
do. It’s like writing “10 chocolates” in your notebook, even though you only took 8. The numbers
don’t match, and it causes confusion.
2. Duplicate Receipts: Imagine you give one toy to a friend, but by accident, you write it down
twice in your notebook. Now your records show you have one toy less than you actually do. This
is like counting the same friend twice if they come to your party — it makes it look like you have
fewer toys left than you actually do.
3. Forgot to Log Returns: Suppose someone borrowed a book and then brought it back, but you
forgot to cross it off in your records. Now your list shows you have one less book than is actually
on your shelf. It’s like a friend returning a borrowed pen, and you don’t mark it in your list, so you
think you’re still missing one pen.
4. Mixing Up Codes: Let’s say you have two types of chips: one spicy and one plain. If you write
down that you gave out a spicy chip but actually gave a plain one, your records won’t match
what’s on the shelves. It’s like giving a blue pen to a friend but writing it down as a red pen – you
end up thinking you’re low on red pens, even though you’re not.
5. Giving Less but Writing More: If a friend asked for 5 pencils and you only gave 3, but you
wrote down that you gave 5, it’ll look like you have fewer pencils than you really do. This is like
making a list of 5 ice creams you sold but only actually handing over 3, leaving a mismatch
between your list and the freezer.
6. Missing or Taken Items: Sometimes, things disappear, like if a snack fell out of the box, or
someone took one without telling you. This can leave you wondering why your list shows you
have more than what’s actually on the shelves. It’s like realizing a piece of your chocolate bar
went missing when you’re sure you had all of it!
7. Slow Updates: Imagine someone borrowed a book, but you forgot to update it in your
notebook right away. If you wait too long, you might not remember what’s missing or might add it
in wrong. It’s like if you waited too long to write down what’s in your piggy bank — you might
count wrong!
8. Forgotten Damages or Broken Items: If a toy breaks and you forget to remove it from your list,
your records will show more than you actually have. This is like writing down that you have 10
marbles even though you lost one — it makes it seem like you have more than you do.
So, just like keeping your toys, books, and snacks organized, if you don’t keep accurate records
of what you give out, get back, or lose, it can create a mess. You end up with “stock
imbalances,” meaning your records don’t match what you actually have.
Imagine you're a storekeeper managing a large inventory of items for a warehouse, and your job
is to keep track of everything that comes in and goes out. But, sometimes, mistakes happen,
and these errors can cause stock imbalances. Here’s how it happens with some practical
examples:
1. Incorrect Quantity Entry: Suppose you issued 15 units of a material, but by mistake, you
recorded it as 20 units on the delivery slip. Now, the system thinks you have 5 fewer units than
you actually do. It’s like ordering 3 pizzas but charging yourself for 4 — it looks like you’re
missing one when really, it’s just a counting mistake.
2. Duplicate Issue Slips: Let’s say you issued a batch of bolts, and due to a delay in the system
or an accidental click, an issue slip gets created twice. Now, it appears you issued double the
bolts, making it seem like you have fewer in stock than you do. It’s like marking attendance for
the same person twice at a party — you’d think you have more guests than actually showed up.
3. Return Not Recorded Properly: If someone returns extra cables they didn’t use, but you forget
to log the return, the actual stock will be higher than the records show. This often happens when
returns are informal or don’t get a proper return slip. It’s like a friend borrowing a book and
returning it, but you forget to check it off your “borrowed books” list — it looks like you’re missing
a book, but it’s really back on your shelf.
4. Wrong Material Code: Suppose you have two similar items — screws of slightly different
sizes. If you issue a small screw but record it under the large screw’s code, it causes confusion.
Now, the system shows fewer large screws and the correct amount of small screws, even
though you didn’t touch the large ones. It’s like mixing up the sugar and salt jars while cooking;
everything gets messed up because they look similar but aren’t the same.
5. Partial Issuance Documented as Full: Imagine someone requests 100 pipes, but you only
have 60, so you give them what’s available. However, you accidentally record that all 100 were
issued. Now, the system shows you’re missing 40, even though they were never given out. This
is like promising to lend someone $100 but only giving them $60 and forgetting to note the
difference — it makes your records seem off.
6. Theft or Loss of Material: Sometimes materials go missing, whether due to theft, damage, or
misplacement. If no one records this loss, it makes it look like you have more in stock than is
actually there. It’s like losing a pen but never telling anyone — the supply closet list says it’s
there, but when someone needs it, it’s gone.
7. System Error or Delay: Sometimes, the system might lag or an entry might not get updated
immediately. Imagine issuing items but waiting too long to record it; now, your stock records will
be inaccurate. This is like checking your bank account balance before a deposit clears — you
might think you have less than you do because it hasn’t updated yet.
8. Uncounted Damage or Scrap: Some materials get damaged or need to be scrapped, but if
they’re not recorded, it can make your stock look larger than it actually is. Think of it like
counting broken eggs in a carton when cooking — if you don’t take them out, your recipe will be
off because you think you have more eggs than you actually do.
In all these cases, the actual items on the shelf won’t match what’s recorded in the system,
leading to a “stock imbalance.” It’s like miscounting your coins in a piggy bank; it causes
confusion and can lead to bigger problems if it’s not corrected.
As a reconciliation officer in SAP Material Management (SAP MM), our goal is to correct the
stock discrepancy caused by an incorrect quantity entry. Here’s a step-by-step process, along
with the transaction codes (T-codes) to follow.
Scenario:
Starting stock: 100 units Issued quantity (actual): 15 units Recorded quantity (mistakenly): 20
units Discrepancy: 5 units shortfall in stock
Objective:
Reconcile the inventory by adjusting the incorrect 5 units and ensuring the system accurately
reflects the correct stock.
---
Step-by-Step SOP for Reconciliation:
Step 1: Identify the Discrepancy in Inventory
T-Code: MB51 – Use this transaction to display a list of material documents.
Input the material number, plant, and storage location.
Filter by movement type (e.g., 201 for consumption or 261 for order-related issue) if needed.
Review the transaction history and identify the document with the incorrect issuance (showing
20 instead of 15).
Step 2: Check Current Stock Level
T-Code: MMBE – This transaction shows the current stock for the material.
Enter the material number and select the plant and storage location.
Confirm that the system shows 80 units due to the error, while the actual stock should be 85
units.
Note the discrepancy of 5 units.
Step 3: Cancel the Incorrect Document
T-Code: MBST – Use this transaction to cancel the incorrect goods issue.
Enter the material document number (identified in Step 1).
Confirm cancellation of the document with an incorrect issuance of 20 units.
This step effectively returns the stock to its pre-issue state of 100 units in the system.
Step 4: Re-issue the Correct Quantity
T-Code: MIGO – Use this transaction to re-issue the correct quantity.
Select Goods Issue from the dropdown menu.
Enter the movement type (e.g., 201 for consumption).
Input the correct quantity of 15 units for the goods issue.
Save and post the document. Now, the system should show 85 units, aligning with the actual
stock.
Step 5: Verify the Adjusted Stock
T-Code: MMBE – Again, check the stock overview to verify the updated quantity.
The stock should now show 85 units, reflecting the corrected issue.
Step 6: Record and Document the Reconciliation
Document the steps taken for the reconciliation, including the original error, actions taken to
reverse and correct the stock, and confirmation of the correct stock level.
This documentation should be kept in case of future audits or discrepancies.

Blueprint Summary:
1. Identification and Verification: Use MB51 to identify the discrepancy and MMBE to confirm
actual stock.
2. Correction Process: Use MBST to cancel the incorrect issue and MIGO to re-issue the correct
quantity.
3. Final Verification and Documentation: Verify updated stock with MMBE and document the
entire reconciliation process for future reference.
This process ensures accurate inventory tracking and helps prevent future discrepancies.
To implement FIFO (First-In-First-Out) in a store, it's essential to set up a layout and process
that naturally guides materials to move through the system in the same order they enter. Here’s
a step-by-step guide with examples to help you implement FIFO smoothly.
1. Organize the Store Layout:
Flow-Based Aisles: Set up aisles that have a clear entry and exit point. New materials should be
placed near the entry, while older items should be at the exit. This structure helps ensure that
items added first are easily accessible first.
Designate Storage Zones: Divide the store into zones based on product type or batch. This way,
items from the same batch are in the same area, simplifying tracking and retrieval.
Label Shelves and Zones: Mark shelves and racks with the date of receipt or batch number to
make it easy for staff to find the oldest items.
Example: Imagine a store with a dedicated “receiving” area near the entrance. All newly
received materials are placed there, and as space fills, older materials are moved along a path
toward an “issue” area where items are dispatched.
2. Use a Pallet Racking System with Rollers:
Use racks with rollers that slope slightly downward from the receiving end to the dispatch end.
When a new item is added at the receiving end, older items automatically move forward due to
gravity.
This system is especially useful for smaller, boxed items that need to rotate quickly.
Example: Suppose you have stacks of cartons in the store. By placing the cartons on roller
racks, when a carton is removed from the front (oldest), the rest roll forward automatically,
bringing the next in line to the front.
3. Designate Specific Locations for Each Material Type:
Assign fixed locations for each material so staff always knows where to store new stock and
where to retrieve the oldest stock.
Store the items in a “LIFO-friendly” arrangement—left-to-right or bottom-to-top order that makes
it easier to pull the oldest items without moving newer items.
Example: Imagine you store spare parts in bins on shelves, each bin representing one specific
type of part. When new stock arrives, it goes in the back of the bin. Staff retrieving parts always
take from the front, ensuring older parts go first.
4. Implement Barcode or RFID Tracking:
Each item should have a barcode or RFID tag with the date of entry. Staff can use scanners to
quickly find the oldest items.
A software system can alert staff when certain items are approaching their expiration or are due
for dispatch, promoting FIFO compliance.
Example: In a chemical warehouse, each batch is tagged with RFID. As soon as a batch is
close to its storage limit, the system alerts staff, and they can move it to the dispatch area first.
5. Utilize a 'Push-Pull' Strategy for Bulk Storage:
Use “push-back” racking, where newer pallets push older pallets toward the exit point of the
rack. This setup makes FIFO more manageable for heavy items, as older items are still the first
accessible.
Example: In a cold storage warehouse for perishables, when a new pallet of goods is added to
the rack, it pushes the older pallets forward, keeping the oldest stock at the forefront.
6. Regularly Audit the Store:
Conduct routine checks to ensure the layout is adhered to and that the oldest materials are
being issued first.
Reorganize periodically to avoid “inventory drift,” where older items get pushed back
accidentally.
Example: Schedule a weekly review where store staff inspect each section and ensure items
are properly rotated. Any item found misplaced or older than its neighbors can be repositioned.
Summary of Store Architecture for FIFO Implementation:
Entry and Exit Points: Clear entry for new stock and exit for older items.
Date/Batch Labeling: All items clearly marked by date or batch.
Flow-Based Racks: Roller racks or push-back systems to move stock forward.
Fixed Storage Zones: Dedicated spaces for specific item types.
Barcode/RFID System: Automates tracking and alerts for inventory rotation.
By structuring your store to follow these practices, implementing FIFO becomes easier, with
minimal manual intervention needed.
