An aged-stock review should lead to a product-specific decision, not a blanket instruction to keep or remove everything. Storage exposure, expiry, saleability and the permitted recovery options can differ across products.
Assemble the review file
- Export the account's inventory-age information and retain the reporting date.
- Match each row to the marketplace, SKU and pack size.
- Separate available units from stock with a condition, expiry or listing problem.
- Check the current seller-store fees and any quoted removal or disposition costs.
- Record the destination and practical handling requirements if stock is returned.
Use the current aged-inventory policy, rather than copying fixed rates from an old article. If liquidation is being considered, verify the product's eligibility in the account before treating it as an available option.
Make the decision explicit
Compare the alternatives using actual costs and the product's condition. Record the chosen action, who gave the OK and the evidence used. Do not assume that a returned supplement can simply be relisted or resold.
Keep the request identifier and final stock movement with the decision. A completed request and a physically completed movement are different records, and both belong in the file.
