Managing Consumable Goods With Expiration Dates FIFO
I have a beverage brand in grocery and gourmet food that has a 1 year shelf life to it. Each time I manufacture the product it gets a new production lot and the clock starts for that inventory. Each time I send in a new production lot, I create a new FNSKU for that shipment. I keep the new FNSKU turned off until I completely deplete the old one, then I turn off the old one and turn on the new one. It is all the same ASIN. This way I force amazon to deploy all of the older stock before they start deploying the new stock. Creating and transitioning this new FNSKU’s creates a lot of problems with subscribe and save and advertising.
Does anyone have any recommendations on other ways of dealing with this? Is creating new FNSKUs for each production lot the correct approach? Anyone else out there selling food items with similar issue>

You’re doing this correctly unless they’ve somehow lost a couple of bottles somewhere… Amazon doesn’t practice fifo , it’s beyond their ability…
Best to wait until the current bottles sell out, unless they lost some couple on the way… Amazon’s very good at misplacing stuff…

I do not understand why there would be an issue with advertising.
Is it that you trying to get to zero on the old product? It may make more profit sense to toss some and move to the new batch.
