We have hundreds of items that have no receipt date and no ship date that are dead stock. For example WP LVB12SINGLE. 7 were adjusted in when we counted inventory in 2007. No activity since.

We can't assume that no receipt date and no ship date means it's a new item code. A "start date" would help us identify dead stock easier as well as identify old item codes with zero quantities.

We have a start date in AP but IC is way more challenging since we're working with 6500 Item Codes compared to 600 Vendors.
