SLOB — slow-moving and obsolete stock

SLOB: slow-moving and obsolete. The question: what has stopped earning its shelf? The report lists every product and warehouse idle for at least the window you choose — 180 days as it opens; idle means no outward movement since, or none since it arrived — with the quantity, its unit of measure, and the value frozen in it. Each row carries a suggested provision — a quarter of value after half a year idle, half after a full year — labelled suggested on every row, because providing is a judgement, not a calculation: turning the suggestion into books is a manual journal your accountant posts, eyes open. Use the report in reviews with sales and buying: the honest outcomes are a promotion, a price cut, a return to supplier, or a provision — but the first outcome is always seeing it listed.
