Identifying Dead Stock
Tip
Using the Inventory: Value report to identify dead stock
CDBWin helps you determine items that are not
selling for a specific time period and, if desired, by department range, using the
Inventory: Value report. Once
they are identified, you can review them and decide which your store
should stop carrying and perhaps try some new items to create a new, more
profitable product mix.
To run an Inventory: Value report to identify dead stock:
- In CDBWin, on the Reports menu, click Items/Inventory > Value.
A report filter window appears:
- Set up the filter using these guidelines:
- Select the Department/Account range you wish to report on.
- (1) Leave the Ending Date set to the current CDBWin
shift.
- (2) Clear the Include Zero Qty check box.
- (3) Select the other Include check boxes.
- (4) Clear the PLUs Only check box.
- In the Last Sale Date box, type the beginning date for the date
range you wish to review.
- (5) Clear the Current Vendor ID to report on items
from all vendors.
- (6) In the Detail box, select Full.
- (7) Sort the Primary Sort and Secondary Sort boxes any way you like. A
Primary Sort of Account and a Secondary Sort by Quantity often proves to be
most helpful.
- Click View or Print. You will see a report showing you what has
not moved in the time span for which you entered a date range:
