How the sum works
A made-up example: a shop has 140 products that haven’t sold in 90 days. It holds 6 units of each on average, and paid €18 a unit. 140 × 6 × €18 = €15,120 of cash it can’t spend on anything else.
It’s an estimate, because it multiplies averages. Going through your own list line by line gives the exact figure: here’s how to do it from your exports.
Why 90 days?
There’s no official cut-off. 90 days is a common point to start looking, so this page uses it. Verity’s own reports start at 180 days, and you can change that to suit what you sell.
