Dead Stock Report 

The Dead Stock Report lists items that have not moved since a nominated date, identifying items that have been kept on file beyond an acceptable period of time without any significant sales, or marked as dead stock on the Warehouse Details screen (refer to "File - Inventory - Purchasing" for more information). Using this option, Micronet can also transfer items to a dead stock class so that the items can be identified and dealt with at a later time.

To print a Dead Stock Report:

  1. Display the UnderStock/OverStock Report screen.

Micronet places a tick beside that menu option and enables the fields on the Understock/Overstock Report screen.
