#### Inventory > Reports > Slow-Moving Inventory

#### **Module Objective**

#### The **Slow-Moving Inventory Report** module is used to generate an **inventory aging report**. This report is specifically designed to identify items that are **slow-moving** or even potentially **obsolete** because they have been stored in the warehouse for too long. This is a crucial analysis tool for managing inventory health and optimizing working capital.

### **1. Report Parameters (Filter)**

#### The main page of this module is a form containing various parameters to customize the report that will be generated.

#### Here is an explanation for each parameter:

- #### **Warehouse Type / Location**:
    
    
    - #### Select the specific **Warehouse Type** and **Location** whose inventory you want to analyze.
- #### **Inventory Aging Period**:
    
    
    - #### **Important!** Here you define the time range for each **aging bucket** in days. The example in the image: `1,90,91,180,270,360` will create columns for the ages of 1-90 days, 91-180 days, 181-270 days, and so on.

### **2. Steps to Generate the Report**

#### **Step 1: Set Report Parameters**

#### Define the warehouse location and set up the inventory aging period you wish to analyze.

#### **Step 2: Generate the Report**

#### After the parameters are set, click the **\[Display\]** button.

### **3. Reading the Report (Report Content)**

#### The generated report will be a list of items classified by their age in the warehouse.

- #### **Report Content (Conceptual)**: This report will display a list of items along with their value or quantity distributed into the aging columns you have defined (for example, columns for 1-90 days, 91-180 days, 181-270 days, >360 days).

### **Tips & Important Notes**

- #### The main focus of this report is the items that fall into the **oldest aging columns** (e.g., >180 days). These items are the primary candidates for promotional programs, **clearance sale discounts**, or even a **write-off** of their book value.
- #### Running this report routinely (e.g., every month or quarter) is crucial for maintaining inventory health and preventing losses due to damaged or expired goods.
- #### This is a strategic report that is very important for **Inventory Managers, Purchasing Managers, and Finance Managers**.
