Step by step

  1. Open Reports and choose the inventory report you need.
  2. For ageing, review receipt-age bands and stock that cannot be dated.
  3. For dead stock, check the inactivity window and never-sold items.
  4. For shrinkage, review value lost, movement reasons and count variances.
  5. For expiry, check the expiry window and dated batches before deciding what to quarantine.

Good to know

These reports need the relevant receipts, sales, dated batches or stock activity. An empty report can mean the required history is missing.
