      <Paragraph>A <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000380" role="glossary">slow-moving analysis</Link> calculates the turnover rates, which are compared with the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000379" role="glossary">slow-moving percentage</Link> as specified in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ina/whina0100m000" role="session">Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000)</GUIRef> session. This calculation results in a

      <Paragraph>When you run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ina/whina6220m000" role="session">Perform Slow-Moving Analysis (whina6220m000)</GUIRef> session, ERP Enterprise calculates the
		turnover rate according to the following formula:</Paragraph>
      <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
         <Paragraph>turnover rate = annual issue of goods / inventory on hand</Paragraph>
      </Formula>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note 1</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph/>
         <Paragraph>ERP Enterprise calculates the annual issue of goods based on the issue periods present in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inr/whinr1520m000" role="session">Item - Issue by Period (whinr1520m000)</GUIRef> session or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inr/whinr1530m000" role="session">Warehouse - Item - Issue by Period (whinr1530m000)</GUIRef> session if the total time span of the
		  issue periods exceeds a quarter of a year. If the period type is month,
		  at least four periods must be present. If the period type is week,
		  at least 14 periods must be present.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>If fewer periods are present, ERP Enterprise uses the value of
		  the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.usab" role="manual">Expected Annual Issue</GUIRef> field of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000" role="session">Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
