Obsolete Inventory Guide: How to Identify, Manage & Avoid It

Obsolete inventory, also called “excess” or “dead” inventory, is stock a business doesn’t believe it can use or sell due to a lack of demand. Inventory usually becomes obsolete after a certain amount of time passes and it reaches the end of its life cycle.
