Daily Dispatch Report:
Form for outbound shipments. Columns: Dispatch Date, Order Reference #, Customer/Department Name (with auto-complete), Item ID/Name (linked), Quantity Shipped, Delivery Method, Driver Assigned, Status (Pending/Shipped/Delivered).
Dashboard & Summary:
A visual analytics hub displaying KPIs such as total inventory value, low-stock alerts (items below reorder level), top 5 high-turnover items, monthly transaction volume trends via bar charts and pie charts.

Columns and Data Types

| Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|------------| | Item ID | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique 6-digit alphanumeric code (e.g., W10501) | | Product Name | Text (Max 50 chars) | Full name of the item | | Category | Dropdown List (Admin-only edit) | e.g., Electronics, Packaging, Tools, Consumables | | Supplier Name | Text with auto-suggest from Master List | Associated vendor information | | Bin Location ID | Text + Dropdown (e.g., A1-03) | Physical location within warehouse | | Unit Cost (USD) | Currency Format ($0.00) | Price paid per unit | | Current QOH (Qty on Hand) | Number (Whole Integer, 5-digit limit) | Automatically updated via formulas | | Reorder Level | Number (Integer only, > 0) | Minimum stock level before alert | | Status Flag | Dropdown: Active / Discontinued / Obsolete | Used to filter visible items | | Last Updated By | Text (Auto-filled from user login or form input) | Tracks ownership of updates |

Required Formulas

- Current QOH in Master List:
`=SUMIFS(Transactions[Quantity], Transactions[Item ID], [@Item ID], Transactions[Action Type], "Received") - SUMIFS(Transactions[Quantity], Transactions[Item ID], [@Item ID], Transactions[Action Type], "Issued")` - Reorder Alert (Status Column):
`=IF([@Current QOH] <= [@Reorder Level], "Low Stock", "")` → Applied via Conditional Formatting. - Inventory Value:
`=[@Current QOH] * [@Unit Cost (USD)]` → Used in Dashboard. - Transaction ID Generator:
`="TRX" & TEXT(TODAY(), "yyyymmdd") & TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")` → Auto-generates unique IDs for each transaction.

Conditional Formatting

- **Low Stock Alerts:** Red fill with white bold text when QOH ≤ Reorder Level. - **Discontinued Items:** Gray background with strikethrough font. - **High Turnover Items (top 5):** Gold highlight in the Dashboard’s top items list. - **Date Columns:** Highlight expired or upcoming expiry dates in red/yellow.
