A very important function of Working Capital Management is the monitoring of stocks. Money locked up in stocks can adversely affect the liquidity of a company. Every company strives or should strive to reduce stock levels to the optimum. Most businesses would prefer to dispose off older stocks as they might deteriorate with time, go out of fashion, or simply get forgotten.

Tally.ERP 9's Stock Ageing analysis enables you to know the age of stocks in hand according to when they were received and their purchase value.
