How is the dead stock calculated in the app

Dead Stock refers to inventory items that have not been sold or used for a long period and are unlikely to be sold in the future. These items are essentially stagnant and can represent a financial burden for a company, as they tie up capital without generating any revenue.


Terms and formula


  • SKU: Stock Keeping Unit, a unique identifier for your product variants.


  • Product published date: when the product has been published on Shopify.


  • Units sold: how many units sold of products in a certain period.


  • Stock on hand: the current stock levels of each product.


  • Last received date: the last time received inventory from suppliers.


  • Last received units: how many arrived units at the last time received inventory from suppliers.


  • Aged days: how many days since the last received date.


[To Day] - [Last Received Date]


Filters and conditions


  • This report shows the inventory is in stock but received more than 30 days (the aged days > 30). However, you can change the filter condition to get the products that were in stock longer. e.g. 180 days.
