Dead Stock

Form ID: (IN405500)

On this form, you can search for inventory items in stock that have not been moved—that is, the items that have not been added to sales orders, transfers, IN issues, kit assemblies, and other documents that affect the quantity on hand—during the period of time specified in the Selection area of the form.

Note: Before you review the results on the current form, we recommend that you to recalculate inventory on the Recalculate Inventory (IN50500) form with the Rebuild Item History Since check box selected on the form toolbar. The history should be rebuilt for all the financial periods that include the time period in which you need to review the dead stock. The recalculation should be performed for a warehouse or stock items for which you want to review the dead stock. This process will ensure greater accuracy in the results.

To calculate the quantity of the dead stock items, the system deducts the quantity of items in sales orders (including field service orders and production orders), shipments, and other documents that affect the quantity on hand from the quantity of items that have remained in stock for the specified time period.

The following rules apply to the stock items that can be listed on this inquiry form:

If the Cost Separately check box is selected on the Locations tab of the Warehouses (IN204000) form for a warehouse, the system calculates the cost of an item for the warehouse, not for the location.
If a stock item has subitems, the system shows information without subitem details.

This form is available only if the Inventory feature within the Inventory and Order Management group of features is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
