    QuickBooks Online (QBO) uses the FIFO method for inventory cost, accounting666.

     

    FIFO (First In, First Out) in QBO tracks inventory by assuming the oldest purchased items are sold first. It adjusts inventory value and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) based on this method when sales are recorded.
