SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Inventory teams often have capital locked in stock that never sells, but identifying which SKUs are dead or slow-moving requires manual analysis of movement history and sales velocity. This Skill automates that detection and recommends a concrete flush action per SKU. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dead & Slow Stock Classification: Flags SKUs with zero sales movement in 180+ days or more than 8 months of inventory cover based on 90-day average sales velocity. - Capital Ranking: Sorts flagged items by tied-up value (current_stock × unit_cost) so management sees the biggest capital risks first. - Action-to-Flush Recommendations: Assigns each SKU a recommendation such as 25% Promo Discount, Vendor Clearance Return, Bundle Promo with Top SKU, or Scrap / Write-off. - Use Case: A procurement manager runs a monthly capital recovery review; the Skill scans all inventory, produces a ranked report saved to procurement/reports/, and posts the top 5 items by capital value to the #procurement Slack channel. ## Quick Start Ask the procurement-manager agent to run the dead and slow stock scan and post the capital ranking report to the procurement channel.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify dead stock in my inventory?

Dead stock is identified by checking each SKU's last movement date and sales velocity. Items with zero sales movement in over 180 days, or zero average monthly velocity, are classified as dead stock and ranked by capital tied up.

How is slow-moving stock calculated from inventory data?

Slow-moving stock is calculated as months of cover: current stock divided by the 90-day average monthly sales velocity. Any SKU with more than 8 months of cover that is not already classified as dead is flagged as slow-moving.

What should I do with dead inventory items?

Each flagged SKU receives an action-to-flush recommendation based on rules: items idle over 365 days get Scrap / Write-off, standard catalog items with a preferred vendor get Vendor Clearance Return, high-volume categories get Bundle Promo, and the default is a 25% Promo Discount.

When should I not use dead stock detection?

Do not use it for active reorder alerts, which belong to a reorder watchdog, or for total inventory valuation, which belongs to a valuation report. It is designed specifically for capital recovery reviews of stagnant SKUs.

Why are new items excluded from slow stock scoring?

Items with less than 90 days of movement history lack enough data to compute a reliable sales velocity, so dividing by an unreliable average would misclassify them. They are flagged as Insufficient Data instead of being scored.
