This is the primary data entry sheet. It maintains a clean, structured table with the following columns:

Column	Data Type	Description
Product ID (Auto)	Text / Auto-incrementing Number	A unique identifier assigned automatically (e.g., INV-001, INV-002).
Product Name	Text (up to 50 characters)	Name of the product or item in stock.
Category	List (Dropdown: Office Supplies, IT Equipment, Packaging, Consumables, etc.)	Categorizes the product for easier filtering and reporting.
Current Stock Level	Number (Whole numbers only)	Current quantity available in inventory.
Reorder Point	Number (Whole numbers)	The minimum stock level at which a reorder should be triggered.
Unit of Measure	List (Dropdown: Units, Boxes, Pounds, Rolls)	Defines the measurement unit for each product.
Last Updated	Date (Automatic)	Date when the entry was last edited. Auto-filled using =TODAY().

Sheet: Reorder Alerts

This sheet dynamically pulls data from the Inventory List to highlight items that are below their reorder point.

Column	Data Type	Description
Product ID (Auto)	Text	Reference to the product ID in Inventory List.
Product Name	Text	Name of the low-stock item.
Current Stock Level	Number	Actual quantity in stock.

Formulas Required

Auto-incrementing Product ID (Inventory List):
Use a simple formula in the first row of the "Product ID" column: =IF(A2="", "INV-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000"), A2). This ensures each new entry gets a unique, sequential ID.
Reorder Alert Trigger (Reorder Alerts Sheet):
Use the following formula in the "Product Name" column to pull data conditionally:
=IFERROR(INDEX(InventoryList!$B:$B,MATCH(1,(InventoryList!$D:$D. This finds items where current stock is below reorder point.


    Auto-Update Last Updated (Inventory List):

        In the "Last Updated" column: =TODAY() — this updates automatically each time the file is opened or refreshed.



Conditional Formatting


    Low Stock Highlighting: Apply conditional formatting to the "Current Stock Level" column in the Inventory List. If value is less than "Reorder Point", highlight cells in red (e.g., =D2
    
Warning Text: Use data bars for visual emphasis on stock levels — longer bars indicate higher inventory.
    Reorder Alerts Sheet: Highlight the entire row in yellow if stock is critically low (e.g., below 5 units) to prompt immediate action.
