Key Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to ensure real-time accuracy and automation:

• Stock on Hand = SUMIF(Stock Levels!On Hand Quantity, Item ID): Aggregates quantity per item.
• Days in Stock = (Last Purchase Date - Current Date) / 30: Calculates inventory age for turnover analysis.
• Inventory Turnover Rate = COGS / Average Inventory Value: Derived from financial data linked to product records.
• Reorder Flag = IF(On Hand Quantity < Reorder Point, "Yes", "No"): Automatically flags low stock items.
• Running Balance = SUMIFS(Movements!Quantity Transferred, Transaction Type, “Inbound”, Item ID): Tracks cumulative movement.
• Auto-Update Timestamps = NOW(): Ensures data freshness in real time.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance usability and highlight critical information:

• Low Stock Alerts: Cells in "Stock Levels" with On Hand < 10 show red background with yellow text.
• High Stock (Over 100 units): Highlighted in light green to indicate potential overstock.
• Outbound Movement Warning: Red border on rows where Transaction Type = "Outbound" and Quantity > 50.
• Reorder Alerts Sheet: Any row with "Critical" status turns bold with red font.
• Dashboar View Metrics: Key performance indicators (KPIs) change color based on thresholds: Green (Healthy), Yellow (Warning), Red (Critical).
