# Clearance Recommendations

> Overstock and dead stock to clear, ranked by cash tied up

The **Clearance Recommendations** report is the inverse of [Reorder Recommendations](/user-guide/reports/reorder-recommendations): instead of what to buy, it surfaces what to **clear**. It unifies overstock and dead/stale stock into one list ranked by the cash tied up, so you can free up working capital.

**Key columns**: product, variant, SKU, location, on-hand quantity, days of cover, days since last sale, excess units, cash tied up, current discount, and a suggested action.

**Cash tied up** is the excess units at cost (so component bundles never show phantom cash). **Current discount** is read from the variant's compare-at price, so you can see what's already marked down.

**Suggested action** is a guide based on severity, not a guaranteed markdown:

* **Mark down** - overstocked but still moving; a modest discount brings cover back in line
* **Deep markdown** - far too much cover, or not selling; a larger discount clears it faster
* **Liquidate** - dead stock with no recent sales; recover cash before it ages further

Click any row to open an explanation of *why* the SKU is flagged - its own days of cover, excess units, and cash tied up - with a link to edit the price in Shopify.

**When to use it**: to turn the [Overstocked](/user-guide/reports/overstocked) and [Dead Stock](/user-guide/reports/dead-stock) reports into action and free up cash. Stockful recommends what to clear; applying the markdown stays with you in Shopify.
