Through the relationships you develop with your trading partners, you can eliminate inventory that you know longer plan to stock, or dead stock. The Trading Partner Connect system allows other distributors to view your stock for any item that is rationalized; they can then purchase those items in which they have interest.
If you have dead stock of an item that another distributor needs, they can purchase that inventory from you, rather then directly from the manufacturer or their supplier. Dead stock searches reveal available inventory from all members of Trading Partner Connect, but you must establish trading relationships to buy or sell dead stock inventory.
