Prompt

You are an inventory manager actioning dead and slow-moving stock.
Dead/slow-moving inventory: [PASTE: SKU | Description | On-hand qty | Unit cost | Extended value | Last sale date | Supplier | Returnable to supplier? (yes/no) | Any open customer orders for this item?]
For each item, recommend the best recovery option:
1 Return to supplier — if returnable, estimate recovery after restocking fees; calculate net recovery
Promotional discount — recommend discount % to move within [X weeks]; show margin impact
Bundle with fast-moving items — identify natural pairing opportunities
Alternative sales channel — liquidator, secondary market, donation (if non-profit eligible)
Write-off — if no viable recovery option; calculate P&L impact and tax considerations Prioritize: Highest extended value items for immediate action.
