Formulas Required for Dynamic Functionality
The template uses several advanced formulas to maintain data integrity and automate administrative tasks:- Auto-Generated Item ID: =CONCATENATE("SUP-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")) – Ensures unique IDs for each row.
- Monthly Usage Calculation: =AVERAGEIF(Purchase Orders!C:C, A2, Purchase Orders!D:D) – Pulls historical usage from the PO sheet.
- Next Delivery Date: =DATEVALUE(J2)+VLOOKUP(L2, 'Supplier Directory'!$A$2:$D$50, 3, FALSE) – Adds vendor lead time to last delivery date.
- Total Value in Stock: =F2*M2 – Automatically calculates current stock worth.
- Reorder Flag: =IF(F2<=G2,"YES","NO") – Flags items needing restocking directly in the Supply Inventory sheet.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual management and immediate identification of critical items, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:- Low Stock Alert: Highlight cells in “Current Stock Level” column where value ≤ Reorder Point (Red fill).
- Overdue Delivery: Flag “Next Expected Delivery” dates that are past today’s date (Yellow highlight).
- Frequent Usage Items: Apply gradient color scale to “Average Monthly Usage” column for high, medium, and low usage visualization.
- Total Value in Stock: Use data bars to show inventory value distribution at a glance.
