The Dead Stock report lists every SKU with stock on hand that hasn't sold in a long time. Use it to drive markdowns, transfers, or write-offs.
A SKU is dead if it has on-hand stock and no sales in the last 180 days. SKUs first seen in the last 6 months are excluded; they get the chance to start selling before being flagged.
SKUs that were received in the last 90 days are also held back. An item that meets the dead rule but has just arrived is usually a relaunch or a seasonal line coming back, and the Inventory Value report classifies it as Restocked rather than dead. The Dead SKUs card shows how many were held back and what they are worth, so nothing drops out of sight; they return to this list if they still have not sold 90 days after the receipt.
Every row in the report is dead by definition; the badge tells you how dead it is.
The header shows the SKU count, total units, total value, supplier count, and how many SKUs have never sold. Useful for setting clean-up targets.
Seasonal items often look dead between seasons: a winter SKU in July, a Christmas item in March. There's no exclude-from-dead toggle today, so context-read these rows: a 200-day-idle pool floatie in February isn't an emergency. Once the new season's delivery lands, the item leaves this list for 90 days as Restocked.
