Slow-Moving Item 
The analytical app displays the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Slow-Moving Item. You can display materials in stock that have not been moved within a specific time frame, for example, for more than six months. Such a time frame is referred to as a period. Warehouse managers see both the value of the slow moving items and the duration of the period without a goods movement, valuated with an annual interest rate in percent. This informs warehouse managers about opportunity costs for held stock or inventory.
Key Features
Calculation rule:
To determine opportunity costs, multiply the current stock value by the annual interest rate in percent, and by the number of periods without a goods movement in relation to the period per year.
The period without a goods movement is defined as the number of periods to be analyzed based on the current posting period of the company code. The current posting period is equal to “0”, the previous month is equal to “1”, and so on. The period without a goods movement is always equal to or higher than the value of the input parameter minimum number of periods without goods movement.
