report of 'dead' inventory Prima 07-30-2008

Is there a way to get a report that shows inventory that was received before
a certain date that still has >0 in stock? The item movement report does not
have an "on hand" filter option. If we set quantity sold to zero, we find
some, but not those items in which we sold several, but have 1 or 2 that have
been sitting around for years.

It would be great if a wizard could then put these items on sale...

You mention another serious weakness in the item wizard - task whatever to
adjust item prices (sale prices) - the filter does not let you filter for
either date last sold or current on hand quantity. As a workaround, add the
following column to the item quantity list report

Begin Column
FieldName = "Item.LastSold"
DrillDownFieldName = ""
DrillDownReportName = ""
Title = "Date Last Sold"
VBDataType = vbDate
Formula = ""
ColHidden = False
ColNotDisplayable = False
FilterDisabled = False
ColWidth = 930
GroupMethod = groupmethodNone
ColFormat = ""
End Column

When you run the report filter for your date range (it's easier if you use
the NEGATE option) AND On Hand > 0.

If it's not a lot of items on the report, print it and enter these manually
into your inventory wizard. If it's a lot of items, experiment with the
report so that you can export the contents to excel, clean it up, then import
the excel after you save it as a csv file into the inventory wizard. The csv
file must have the same columns and data types as those the inventory wizard
uses.

It's a little convoluted...

Repost if you need additional help doing this - hope this helps....

Hi we use a sub description field to mark items as "DEAD STOCK" where:

1. item has SOH >0
2. item was received more than 90 days previous (last received < today - 90)

We have written a few sql queries to perform this at group and store level
and then to mark down all items with "DEAD STOCK" in sub description.
