Overstock and items not selling

Stock that will take more than 180 days to sell at the current pace, or that has not sold in the last 90 days. Excess is everything beyond 180 days of sales. Consider pausing reorders, bundling or discounting these.

Sold but not in your stock file

These sold in the sales window but we found no matching SKU or product name in your inventory export, so we cannot say whether to reorder. Check the SKU spelling or include them in the inventory export.

How the numbers are worked out

Sales window: Jul 16, 2026 to Oct 13, 2026 (90 days), ending on the latest sale in your files. Cancelled, refunded and voided orders are left out.

Sold per day = 60% of the daily rate over the last 30 days plus 40% of the daily rate over all 90 days, so recent changes count more without overreacting to one week.

Days left = (on hand + incoming) / sold per day. Runs out = as-of date + days left. Order by = runs-out date minus lead time minus safety days.

Order qty = sold per day x (lead time + 30 days of cover + 7 safety days), minus what is on hand and incoming, rounded up to full cases and the minimum order where your supplier file gives them. Reorder point = sold per day x (lead time + safety days).

Lead time comes from your supplier file where it lists the SKU, otherwise 14 days. Stock is summed across all locations and files; incoming or inbound stock counts as available.

Limits: this assumes recent sales continue at the same pace. It does not know about seasonality, promotions, or incoming stock arriving late, and items that were out of stock during the window may look slower than their real demand.
