“can you give me a list of ingredients that aren't really moving, and save it so i can pull it up each week?”
The list is saved in Fishbowl as `slow_moving_ingredients`.
The list is saved in Fishbowl as slow_moving_ingredients. Each week, just ask me to "run slow_moving_ingredients," or say something like "slow movers, last 60 days," and I'll run it with that window.

How it decides
- Ingredient: any active inventory part that isn't a finished good on a BOM, has stock on hand, and isn't a test part.
- Movement: shipments plus consumption by work orders and BOMs. Adjustments and scrap don't count as movement.
- Flags:
- *No usage* means nothing used in the window.
- *Idle* means no usage in 30+ days.
- *Overstocked* means 52+ weeks of supply.
- Adjustable: you can change all three thresholds per run.
Nearly every ingredient clears the 52-week bar right now, so the "Overstocked" section is long. If you want a tighter list, I can raise the default to 104 weeks or so.
Want me to set this up as a scheduled task that runs every Monday morning and sends you the list?
Sounds good. Just ask for slow_moving_ingredients whenever you want it, and I'll run it fresh.
