# FIFO (First In First Out)

FIFO is a retail software function around your goods-in processes where we are able to extend reports and offer a pure margin based on “first in, first out”.

Reports are generated using the true purchase price of each batch of goods in received, as opposed to the last purchase price received or averages. This will provide you with an even greater insight on your stock figures.
