Status Levels

The status levels are generated according to the number of times an item has sold within the number of days established as 'Status Interval in Days'  on the "Inventory Management" tab of "Maintain Sub Categories".  The status levels are calculated and assigned to applicable inventory when "Establish/Reset Min/Max" on the Inventory Management menu is run.  The possible status levels are described below.

Note: The status interval in days value is assumed to be 180 in the descriptions below.

A – If the status level of A is assigned, the item has sold at least once within the past 180 days (or 1 status interval) or has been in stock less than 180 days. 

B – If the status level of B is assigned, the item has not sold within the past 360 days (or 2 status intervals). 

The next time "Establish/Reset Min/Max" is run, the status of B will be changed to an A if the item is sold.

C – If the status level of C is assigned, the item has not sold within the past 540 days (or 3 status intervals).   

Once the status level has hit C, it cannot go back to a B or A automatically as it is considered Inactive.  You do have the ability to view those items with a status of C that have sold and you can make the determination to change the status to an A.  You will use "Change Inventory Inactive Status" on the Inventory Management menu to do this.  If you do not choose to change the status to an A for those items that have sold, the status of D will automatically be assigned the next time "Establish/Reset Min/Max" is run. 

D – If the status level of D is assigned, the status was a C and either remains unsold or was sold but you opted not to change the status to an A.

Once the status level has hit D, it will not go back to a C, B or A and is considered marked for deletion.  The item will not be deleted until the quantity on hand is zero (0) at all locations.  You will use "Remove Inventory Marked for Deletion" on the Inventory Management menu to do this.

The discontinued sku/replacement sku will be taken into account when calculating status levels.  This means that if an item is marked as discontinued, the replacement sku will be referred to when calculating the status levels.
