Hi all,

Does anyone know how to change / update the date that Acumatica uses to calculate the dead stock? As it stands, i can run a dead stock report - not selecting any days - by warehouse and items show up.

I want to see what the date that Acumatica is comparing the items against to determine dead stock.

*Note: I did do a search on the community and didn’t see an answer to this. :)

Thanks!

Joseph

@JHuang Did you verified this?https://help.acumatica.com/(W(1))/Wiki/ShowWiki.aspx?pageid=953e62d9-48ef-45d0-a9ce-559aa8d29ffb

In Acumatica ERPdead stock generally refers to inventory items that have not moved (no sales, issues, or transfers) for a defined period — often 6–12 months or more.
Acumatica doesn’t have a single “Dead Stock” button, but you can calculate it using Generic Inquiries (GI) or Inventory Turnover reports.

Dead Stock Calculation Logic

The common formula is:

[ \text{Dead Stock %} = \frac{\text{Value of Dead Stock}}{\text{Total Inventory Value}} \times 100 ]

Where:

  • Value of Dead Stock = QtyOnHand × UnitCost for items with Last Sale Date or Last Issue Date older than your threshold.
  • Total Inventory Value = Sum of QtyOnHand × UnitCost for all items.
