+### Concept of FIFO Slots
+
+Since we need to know age-wise remaining stock, we maintain all the inward entries as slots. So each time stock comes in, a slot is added for the same.
+
+Eg. For Item A:
+----------------------
+Date | Qty | Queue
+----------------------
+1st | +50 | [[50, 1-12-2021]]
+2nd | +20 | [[50, 1-12-2021], [20, 2-12-2021]]
+----------------------
+
+Now the queue can tell us the total stock and also how old the stock is.
+Here, the balance qty is 70.
+50 qty is (today-the 1st) days old
+20 qty is (today-the 2nd) days old
+
+### Calculation of FIFO Slots
+
+#### Case 1: Outward from sufficient balance qty
+----------------------
+Date | Qty | Queue
+----------------------
+1st | +50 | [[50, 1-12-2021]]
+2nd | -20 | [[30, 1-12-2021]]
+2nd | +20 | [[30, 1-12-2021], [20, 2-12-2021]]
+
+Here after the first entry, while issuing 20 qty:
+- **since 20 is lesser than the balance**, **qty_to_pop (20)** is simply consumed from first slot (FIFO consumption)
+- Any inward entry after as usual will get its own slot added to the queue
+
+#### Case 2: Outward from sufficient cumulative (slots) balance qty
+----------------------
+Date | Qty | Queue
+----------------------
+1st | +50 | [[50, 1-12-2021]]
+2nd | +20 | [[50, 1-12-2021], [20, 2-12-2021]]
+2nd | -60 | [[10, 2-12-2021]]
+
+- Consumption happens slot wise. First slot 1 is consumed
+- Since **qty_to_pop (60) is greater than slot 1 qty (50)**, the entire slot is consumed and popped
+- Now the queue is [[20, 2-12-2021]], and **qty_to_pop=10** (remaining qty to pop)
+- It then goes ahead to the next slot and consumes 10 from it
+- Now the queue is [[10, 2-12-2021]]
+
+#### Case 3: Outward from insufficient balance qty
+> This case is possible only if **Allow Negative Stock** was enabled at some point/is enabled.
+
+----------------------
+Date | Qty | Queue
+----------------------
+1st | +50 | [[50, 1-12-2021]]
+2nd | -60 | [[-10, 1-12-2021]]
+
+- Since **qty_to_pop (60)** is more than the balance in slot 1, the entire slot is consumed and popped
+- Now the queue is **empty**, and **qty_to_pop=10** (remaining qty to pop)
+- Since we still have more to consume, we append the balance since 60 is issued from 50 i.e. -10.
+- We register this negative value, since the stock issue has caused the balance to become negative
+
+Now when stock is inwarded:
+- Instead of adding a slot we check if there are any negative balances.
+- If yes, we keep adding positive stock to it until we make the balance positive.
+- Once the balance is positive, the next inward entry will add a new slot in the queue
+
+Eg:
+----------------------
+Date | Qty | Queue
+----------------------
+1st | +50 | [[50, 1-12-2021]]
+2nd | -60 | [[-10, 1-12-2021]]
+3rd | +5 | [[-5, 3-12-2021]]
+4th | +10 | [[5, 4-12-2021]]
+4th | +20 | [[5, 4-12-2021], [20, 4-12-2021]]
