=IF(COUNTA(A:A)=1,"INV001",CONCATENATE("INV",TEXT(MAX(VALUE(MID(A2:A100,4,3)))+1),"00"))to auto-generate sequential IDs. - Real-time Stock Level Updates: Formula in "Master" sheet:
=SUMIFS(Transactions!$E:$E, Transactions!$C:$C, Master!$A2) - SUMIFS(Transactions!$E:$E, Transactions!$C:$C, Master!$A2)dynamically calculates current stock. - Reorder Threshold Alerts: Uses

=TransactionDate + LeadTimeDays. - Conditional Data Validation: Dropdowns in "Transactions" sheet update dynamically based on the selected item and transaction type.
