The inactive items report
The report shows a count of non moving inventory records, divided by those which haven't been
issued for greater than 2, 3, 4 or 5 years, for each site (plant). There are three charts available
to the user in the inactive items report.
- Inactive items chart
- The inactive items chart displays the total inventory value of items that haven't been issued for more than 1 to 5 years for each site (or plant). It allows the user to focus on potentially obsolete items.
- Aged stock profile chart
- For where the stock value is high, the aged stock profile chart highlights outliers where an
item has not been issued or receipted for a considerable length of time. Items are colored by
criticality and contextual detail is given at each stock item point, including:
- Control segment
- Stock on hand
- Months of stock available
- Lead time in months
- The user can filter the lead time in months report by control segment to focus on particular groups of items that can be a cause for concern.
