How to use Fastest-moving items

Fastest-moving items shows which products are selling fastest by quantity. This is slightly different from Most sold items by KSh because an item can sell many units but still have a lower total sales value.

What it shows

• Item name.
• SKU or item code.
• Unit.
• Quantity sold.
• Sales value.
• Number of sales.

Why it matters

• Fast-moving items can run out quickly.
• They may need higher low-stock alert levels.
• They may need more frequent supplier orders.
• They are often everyday products customers expect to be available.

How to use it

• Check the fastest-moving items before ordering stock.
• Increase low-stock alert levels for items that sell quickly.
• Avoid waiting until stock is almost finished.
• Compare sales value with profit margin before buying too much.

Difference from Most sold by KSh

• Fastest-moving focuses on quantity sold.
• Most sold by KSh focuses on sales value.
• A cheap item can be fastest-moving but not the highest-value item.
• An expensive item can be highest by KSh even if only a few units sold.

Example

• A shop may sell many packets of milk every day, making milk a fast-moving item. But a few sales of cooking oil may produce more KSh value. Both reports are useful for different decisions.
