Focused on Warehouse Inventory Management, the Extended version introduces advanced features, scalability, real-time tracking capabilities, and integrated analytics to support efficient decision-making in dynamic business environments.
The template is engineered to meet the evolving needs of modern enterprises that require more than basic inventory tracking.

- Inventory Reports: Pre-built summaries (daily/weekly/monthly) for operational reviews.
- Alerts & Notifications: Automated triggers for low stock, expiry risks, and out-of-range inventory levels.
- Dashboard Summary: A dynamic visualization sheet with charts and KPIs accessible via pivot tables.

Formulas Required
The template relies on a robust set of formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:
- Inventory On Hand Calculation: `=SUMIFS(StockTransactions!$E$2:$E$1000, StockTransactions!$B$2:$B$1000, SKUCell, StockTransactions!$D$2:$D$1000, "Inbound") - SUMIFS(StockTransactions!$E$2:$E$1000, StockTransactions!$B$2:$B$1000, SKUCell, StockTransactions!$D$2:$D$1000, "Outbound")`
- Stock Alert Trigger: `=IF(OnHand < ReorderLevel, "LOW STOCK", "")` (conditional for alerts)
- Date-based Expiry Check: Uses `=IF(TODAY() > ExpiryDate, "EXPIRED", "")` if expiry data is included.
- Weekly Stock Movement Summary: `=SUMIFS(StockTransactions!$E$2:$E$1000, StockTransactions!$C$2:$C$1000, LocationID, StockTransactions!$D$2:$D$1000, "Outbound")`
- Auto-Generate Transaction ID: Using `=TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), "YYYYMMDD") & "-" & TEXT(ROW(), "000")` in a helper column.
Conditional Formatting
The template uses conditional formatting to highlight critical inventory situations:
- Low Stock Alert: Cells where On-Hand < Reorder Level are highlighted in red with bold text.
- Expiry Warning: Items with expiry within 30 days show a yellow background.
- Inactive Locations: Status "Inactive" entries are dimmed and marked in gray.
- Negative Quantity Entries: Automatically flagged in red (e.g., negative stock).
Instructions for the User
User Setup Steps:
- Open the template and assign a unique user ID or employee code when logging transactions.
- Add new SKUs to the Inventory Master with correct category, UoM, and reorder levels.
- Update warehouse locations as needed—especially when reorganizing shelves or opening new zones.
- Log all stock movements using the Stock Transactions sheet; ensure data entries match actual physical activity.
