LIFO removal¶
The Last In, First Out (LIFO) removal strategy picks the newest products on-hand, based on the date they entered a warehouse’s stock.
Every time an order is placed for products using the LIFO strategy, a transfer is created for the lot/serial number that has most recently entered the stock (the last lot/serial number that entered the warehouse’s inventory).
