Although an inventory in excel will be slow once data accumulates.  My approach will be is to create one excel file with the following worksheets:

1. Item Master list with all the relevant information plus your beginning balance and summary of your item movemment via VLOOKUP from your other worksheet or vice versa

2. Worksheet for Receivings sorted by data ascending

3. Worksheet for stock transfers and/or deliveries sorted by data ascending

4. Worsheet for Stock Adjustment ( Positive or Negative ) )sorted by data ascending

5. Item Movement Worksheet VLOOKUP from the combined worksheets

 

To make it a FIFO ( First in First Out )  Stock Transfers and STock Adjustment should VLOOKUP from the receiving worksheet  searching for the earliest date available.   The receving worksheet should containt a column TRANSFER OUT which records if the item was taken out from that particular record

u can prepare an excel file with colmns.

 

Date of arrival - Item code -  item discription -  Qty In - Unit of Measurement

 

or add some more cols for Qty Out - Date of Sale

 

 

later you can filter.

Just apply Data Filter option on top of column you want to use as FIFO. You can get data as you require whether it is FIFO or LIFO.
