Sheet Structure and Functionality

The template is organized into four primary sheets:

This is the core sheet used by administrative staff to record daily stock activities. It captures every transaction, including additions, removals, and adjustments.

Column	Data Type	Description
Date & Time (A)	Date/Time (Format: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm)	Record of when the stock entry was made. Automatically updated upon saving if enabled.
Item ID (B)	Text or Number (Unique identifier)	e.g., "STP001" for Staplers, "PAP023" for A4 Paper. Unique codes help in quick lookup and filtering.
Item Name (C)	Text	Name of the item (e.g., "Highlighter - Yellow").
Category (D)	Dropdown List (e.g., Office Supplies, Cleaning Materials, IT Accessories)	Facilitates filtering and reporting by department or usage type.
Current Stock Level (E)	Numeric (Integer)	Shows the real-time stock count after each transaction.
Transaction Type (F)	Dropdown List: "Received", "Issued", "Returned", "Adjusted"	Tracks the nature of the stock movement.
Quantity (G)	Numeric (Positive Integer)	Number of units involved in the transaction.
Location/Department (H)	Text or Dropdown (e.g., "Reception", "Finance", "Warehouse")	Helps track where items are stored or used.
Reference/Source (I)	Text	e.g., "PO#2024-105", "Return from IT Dept", or "Delivery Note 789". Ensures traceability.
Notes (J)	Text (Optional)	Free-form space for additional information, such as damaged items or special instructions.

2. Item Master List

Column	Data Type	Description

3. Daily Summary Dashboard

This sheet provides an overview of stock activity for the current day, offering administrators quick insights into inventory health and trends.

Key Metrics: Total items received today, total issued, number of low-stock alerts triggered.
Recent Transactions List: Displays the last 10 entries with date, item, quantity, and status.
Daily Stock Snapshot: Shows current stock levels per category for a visual summary.

4. Reports & Alerts

This sheet logs automated alerts and generates weekly/monthly reports. It includes filters to generate compliance records, usage trends, and reorder recommendations.

Formulas Used

Current Stock Level (Daily Stock Log):
Formula: `=IF(F2="Received", E1 + G2, IF(F2="Issued", E1 - G2, E1))`
This ensures the current stock level is dynamically calculated after each transaction.
Low Stock Alert:
Formula: `=IF(E2 <= VLOOKUP(B2, Item Master List!$A$2:$E$100, 5, FALSE), "Reorder", "")`
Marks entries with a "Reorder" note when stock falls below the reorder level.
Summary Counters (Dashboard):
Use of SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and DATEDIF to aggregate data by date, category, or status.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Low Stock Items: Highlight in red if current stock ≤ reorder level.
Daily Transaction Trends: Use color scales to visualize high-volume vs. low-volume days.
New Alerts: Apply yellow fill with bold text to any entry marked "Reorder".
