How do I Pick Items based on FIFO methodology?

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:35PM in Ask A Guru 2 comments

Apologies, but we're still in the stage of setting up our NetSuite environment, so we haven't had a chance to actually fill our warehouse with stock and start shipping items out to get a clear picture of how the process will look on NS.

When picking items to fulfill an order, are items suggested by NS? If I have 2 batches of Lot numbered items, or 10 serialized items, will NS know which one came in first and suggest to pick that one? Or do we (and at what stage) manually select which items are being committed to an order?

My worry is that our items aren't always serialized/numbered chronologically. We usually prefix them with their project numbers such as SL11/NG05, but not always are all the items committed to a project.
