In Sage 300 ERP (formerly Sage Accpac ERP), you have an option to generate report for Slow Moving Items i.e. items which are not selling well in organization so that you can focus on items which need more attention from the point of sales and marketing.
To run this report in sage 300 ERP, navigate to Inventory Control >> I/C Stock Control Reports >> Slow Moving items

Here, you can sort report in many ways like Item Number, Category, Item Segment, Price and many others including optional fields of item master that you have defined for the items.
Then, depending on the criterion that you have selected in ‘Sort By’, you have to define the range in ‘From’ and ‘To’ options to list out the items in output report otherwise by default Sage 300 ERP will generate the report for whole range.
