Canix can help fulfill large sales orders quickly by auto-allocating inventory using the First In, First Out method, known as FIFO. This feature will allocate packages with the earliest received date (or created date for non-received packages) and splits the package into the quantity ordered on the line item. If the earliest package does not fulfill the full quantity ordered, Canix will continue to add or split packages, while allowing users to change allocated packages before submitting. All new packages created during the allocation process are unsubmitted and required to be reviewed and submitted by the user to complete the package allocation process.
