Production Inventory Obsolescence Review Form

Simplify Inventory Obsolescence Management for Manufacturing

Managing slow-moving and obsolete inventory is critical for maintaining healthy cash flow and efficient warehouse operations. This Production Inventory Obsolescence Review Form gives manufacturing operations, inventory managers, and finance teams a structured process to identify, evaluate, and authorize disposition of aging inventory—all in one centralized platform.

Built on Paperform, this template replaces scattered spreadsheets and email chains with a clear, trackable workflow. Capture detailed aging reports, analyze usage trends, document disposition recommendations, and route write-off requests for approval without switching between tools.

What makes this template powerful for manufacturing teams

Whether you're a plant manager, inventory controller, or operations director, you need visibility into which stock is moving and which is taking up valuable space. This form helps you:

• Document aging inventory with SKU details, quantities on hand, last movement dates, and aging brackets
• Analyze usage trends to distinguish seasonal slowdowns from true obsolescence
• Recommend dispositions including scrap, rework, discount sale, donation, or write-off
• Calculate financial impact with automated cost calculations and write-off amounts
• Route for approval using conditional logic to match authorization levels to write-off thresholds

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can show different approval fields based on the total value, and use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically notify the right stakeholders, update your ERP or inventory system, and track the disposition process from identification through final authorization.

Built for manufacturers who value process and accountability

This template is ideal for mid-sized manufacturers, contract manufacturers, distributors with production facilities, and supply chain teams who need to maintain lean inventory practices while ensuring proper financial controls. By centralizing your obsolescence review process in Paperform, you create an audit trail, reduce carrying costs, and free up working capital tied up in dead stock.
