FIFO applies in accounting and in supply chain as well.

It means that you sent out first, the first you received. 

For accounting it's a way to measure in currency the inventory. For the supply chain is a way to avoid expiration of products or remaining stock of previous commercial periods.

FIFO is usually used in FMCG and food organizations.
