This report takes a different view of stock. It looks for those an item for which there has been no movement at all for a stated period of time. This period of time is again a parameter that you set in the stock System Profiles, and is measured in a number of days — for example, 45 days.
This report takes the "as at” date which you gave as part of the report preamble, and looks for any stock item which shows that no transaction of any sort has occurred in the 45 days (in this case) prior to the "as at” date. It reports that item, showing the most recent date that any movement occurred, and the current physical stock level.
Once again you can now decide what to do. For seasonal items (such as windscreen de-icers in summer) you may leave it be, since you can bring it out again later. However, you may decide you’d better clear it: make a special offer, make sure no more gets ordered, or transfer it to obsolete stock.
