Formulas and Automation Features
To ensure accuracy and reduce manual errors, the following formulas are implemented:- Status Update Logic:
=IF(Actual_Delivery_Date<>"", "Received", IF(Delivery_Target_DateThis formula auto-updates the status based on dates. - Stock Alert:
=IF(Current_Stock_Level < Quantity_Required, "Low Stock – Reorder Needed!", "")Highlights low stock levels for immediate action. - Days Until Delivery:
=IF(Delivery_Target_Date<>"", Delivery_Target_Date-TODAY(), "")Displays how many days remain until delivery. - Auto-Generate Item ID: Uses a formula like
=CONCATENATE("SUP-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000"))to generate unique IDs as rows are added.
Conditional Formatting for Visual Clarity
The template uses advanced conditional formatting to enhance readability and risk identification:- Overdue Deliveries: Red fill with white text if delivery target date is in the past and no delivery date entered.
- Low Stock Items: Yellow background with bold red text when Current Stock Level is less than 20% of Quantity Required.
- Status Highlighting: Green for “Received”, Orange for “In Use”, Red for “Expired”.
- Upcoming Deliveries: Blue font and underline if delivery is within 7 days (uses formula:
=AND(Delivery_Target_Date-TODAY()<=7, Delivery_Target_Date>TODAY())).
