This table records all inventory transactions on a daily basis.

Sheet 4: Reorder Alerts

Formulas Required

• Current Stock Level Calculation: In the Master List, use a SUMIF formula to total all movements from the Daily Logs for each Item ID.

=SUMIF(Daily_Inventory_Logs!C:C, Inventory_Master_List!A2, Daily_Inventory_Logs!D:D)

• Reorder Alert Logic: In the Reorder Alerts sheet:

  =IF([Current Stock] <= [Reorder Point], "YES", "NO")

• Suggested Order Quantity:

  =MAX(([Reorder Point]*1.5)-[Current Stock], 10)

• Priority Level (Conditional): Use nested IF and OR functions:

  =IF([Shortfall] < -20, "High", IF([Shortfall] < 0, "Medium", "Low"))

Conditional Formatting Rules (for Administrative Clarity)

• Reorder Alerts: Highlight rows in red if Current Stock ≤ Reorder Point.
• Priorities: Apply color scales: Red (High), Yellow (Medium), Green (Low).
