Dropped Items

Definition

Products or SKUs that have been removed from a retailer’s assortment, resulting in a loss of authorization and shelf presence. Dropped items may be discontinued due to underperformance, assortment rationalization, or strategic changes.

How It's Calculated

Example

Following a category review, a retailer identifies three slow-moving SKUs as dropped items, removing them from shelf sets and ceasing replenishment.
