Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about inventory aging analysis
Inventory aging analysis is a method of categorizing inventory based on how long items have been in stock. It helps businesses identify slow-moving or obsolete inventory, assess risk exposure, and make informed decisions about markdowns, promotions, or write-offs.
Typical aging buckets include 0-30 days (fresh), 31-60 days (moderate), 61-90 days (concern), and 90+ days (critical). Each bucket represents increasing risk and potential value loss.
ABC analysis applies the Pareto principle to inventory management, enabling differentiated control strategies based on value contribution.
- Days in Inventory: Time since receipt
- Value at Risk: Inventory value in older buckets
- Write-off Risk: Potential loss from obsolete stock
- Slow-Moving Rate: Items with no recent sales

- •Run aging analysis weekly to catch issues early
- •Differentiate strategies by ABC classification
- •Set automatic alerts when items enter 60+ day buckets
- •Document reasons for slow movement to inform buying
- •Consider seasonal patterns before marking for liquidation
- ✗Ignoring aging until it becomes a crisis
- ✗Applying one-size-fits-all markdowns regardless of ABC class
- ✗Not considering seasonal demand patterns
- ✗Delaying write-offs to avoid hitting financial targets
- ✗Failing to root cause slow movement issues
