Slow moving stocks may lead to issues like expiry (in case of food items), obsolescence, and high holding costs.
That's why you need the Inventory Aging Report. It
helps you maintain a healthy business by tracking how quickly your inventory moves.
It identifies the slow and fast moving inventory, and also lets you plan your warehouse capacity.
This report is done over a SQL query based on Advanced Analytics for Zoho Finance data. You can modify the query to suit your data structure.
Follow the below steps to do this.
