Identifying products that have not been sold during a specific period is important for effective inventory management. TallyPrime’s Dashboard can be configured to help you quickly identify items with zero sales for a selected period.
In this blog, we’ll explain how to configure a Non-Moving Item Report in TallyPrime using the Dashboard and identify up to 20 items with zero sales.
What is a Non-Moving Item Report?
A Non-Moving Item Report helps businesses identify stock items that have recorded zero outward quantity (sales) during a particular period.
For example, you may want to find:
Which products had zero sales during April?
Which items were not sold during May?
Which products have not moved during a particular date range?
Which items may require attention from the sales or inventory team?
Instead of manually checking each stock item, you can configure a Dashboard tile in TallyPrime to display this information.
How to Configure a Non-Moving Item Report in TallyPrime
Follow these steps to configure the report:
Step 1: Open the Dashboard
Open the Dashboard in TallyPrime.
From the Dashboard, add a new tile to display the required stock information.
Step 2: Select the Stock Group Report
Go to the option for adding a tile and select:
Stock Group → Primary
This allows you to configure the report at the stock group level.
You can also configure similar reports for individual stock groups according to your business requirements.
Step 3: Give the Tile a Name
Enter a suitable name for the report.
For example:
Non-Moving Items
or
Top Non-Moving Products
The title can be customized according to your reporting requirements.
Step 4: Configure the Sorting
Set the sorting option to:
Lowest to Highest
This is important because items with zero outward quantity will appear at the bottom/lowest end of the quantity range, making zero-sales items easier to identify.
Step 5: Select Stock Item-Wise Report
Set the report to:
Stock Item-wise
This allows you to see the individual products instead of only viewing the stock group summary.
Step 6: Select Outward Quantity
Under the required measure, select:
Outward → Quantity
This lets TallyPrime calculate the quantity sold during the selected period.
Step 7: Enable Zero Balance Items
One of the most important settings is to enable the option for displaying items with zero balance.
Set:
Zero Balance → Yes
This allows items having zero outward quantity to be included in the report.
As a result, you can identify products that have recorded no sales during the selected period.
Step 8: Set the Maximum Number of Items
You can configure the report to display up to 20 items.
For example:
Maximum Items: 20
The Dashboard tile will then display up to 20 relevant stock items according to the configured settings.
Example: Finding Zero-Sale Items for a Month
Suppose you want to identify products that had zero sales during April.
Set the required period to:
1 April to 30 April
TallyPrime will then display the stock items based on the Dashboard configuration.
Items having zero outward quantity for the selected period can be identified from the report.
Similarly, you can change the period to:
1 May to 31 May
to identify products that had zero sales during May.
Change the Period Whenever Required
One of the advantages of using a Dashboard tile is that you can change the reporting period according to your requirement.
For example, you can compare:
1 April – 30 April
1 May – 31 May
1 June – 30 June
Any custom date range
This makes it easier to analyze product movement across different periods.
View Detailed Information
After generating the report, you can expand the relevant items to view additional details.
This allows you to go beyond simply identifying non-moving products and analyze the underlying stock information available in TallyPrime.
Why Use the Dashboard for Non-Moving Item Analysis?
Configuring this report on the Dashboard provides a quick way to monitor inventory movement without repeatedly navigating through detailed reports.
It can help businesses:
Identify products with zero sales
Monitor slow-moving inventory
Review product movement for a particular period
Quickly identify items requiring sales attention
Improve inventory monitoring
Make Dashboard-based reporting more useful
