| Pick Rule | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| FIFO (First In, First Out) | Picks the oldest stock first | Perishable goods; ensuring older stock is dispatched first |
| LIFO (Last In, First Out) | Picks the most recent stock first | Products where newest stock should be prioritised |
| Sell By Date | Picks items closest to their sell-by date first | Products with expiration dates |
| Best Before Date | Picks items closest to their best-before date first | Products where freshness matters, even without strict expiry |
