How are Type II Shelf-Life items issued using the LIFO method?

Type II Shelf-Life items are issued using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method, which means that items with the latest date of manufacture, curing, assembly, or packing are issued first. This approach is designed to minimize waste and ensure that the items that are the most recently produced are used before they potentially degrade or spoil, although they may not contain an expiration date.

By promoting the use of these fresher items, the LIFO method effectively reduces the likelihood of items becoming obsolete or unusable due to age. The focus is on utilizing items in an order that reflects their freshness rather than the order in which they were received or purchased, which aligns with the LIFO concept of managing inventory based on the most recent items first.

Using dates of purchase, random selection, or date of receipt would not adhere to the LIFO practice, which prioritizes the latest-constructed items for issuance.
