backstock

Warehouse surplus merchandise

Backstock is inventory kept in a storage area rather than displayed on the sales floor.

Retail workers pull from backstock to replenish shelves: Can you check the backstock for size medium?

The term also works as a verb: I spent my shift backstocking the new shipment.
