Inventory Ledger (Main): Core data table capturing all stock movements and current inventory levels.
Daily Log: A time-stamped record of daily activities such as incoming shipments, outgoing deliveries, adjustments, and audits.
Client Summary Report: Aggregated client-specific reports generated from the Inventory Ledger for sharing with external parties.
Dashboard (Employee View): A visual dashboard displaying KPIs relevant to the employee’s role (e.g., inventory turnover rate, order fulfillment status).
Reference Data: Contains lookup tables for items, clients, categories, and statuses.

Table Structures & Columns (Inventory Ledger)

The primary table in the "Inventory Ledger" sheet is structured as follows:

Column	Data Type	Description
Date	DATE (Formatted: MM/DD/YYYY)	The date when the inventory event occurred.
Transaction ID	TEXT / AUTO-GENERATED (e.g., INV-00123)	Unique identifier for each transaction.
Item Name	TEXT (Linked to Reference Data)	Name of the inventory item (e.g., "Wireless Mouse - Model X1").
SKU / Part Number	TEXT / UNIQUE ID	Standardized product identifier.
Category	TEXT (Dropdown from Reference Data)	Categorization such as "Electronics", "Office Supplies", or "Tools".
Client ID / Account Name	TEXT (Linked to Client Database)	Name of the client associated with the inventory (e.g., "Acme Corporation").
Quantity	INTEGER (Positive or Negative)	Number of units added (+) or removed (-).
Type of Movement	DROPDOWN: "Incoming", "Outgoing", "Adjustment", "Audit"	Defines the nature of the transaction.
Batch Number / Serial	TEXT (Optional)	For traceability, especially for perishable or high-value items.
Current Stock Level	FLOAT (Calculated)	Dynamically calculated based on prior balance and current transaction.
Location / Bin ID	TEXT (e.g., "A-05", "Rack 3, Shelf B")	Physical storage location within the warehouse.

Formulas Required

- **Current Stock Level (Column K)**: `=IF(ROW()-1=1, [Initial Inventory], IF(Type_of_Movement="Incoming", INDEX(Inventory_Ledger[Current Stock Level], ROW()-1) + Quantity, INDEX(Inventory_Ledger[Current Stock Level], ROW()-1) - Quantity))` - **Transaction ID Auto-Generator (Column B)**: `="INV-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"0000")` (for sequential numbering) - **Stock Alerts (Conditional Logic)**: Use a helper column to flag low stock levels: `=IF(Current_Stock_Level < Reorder_Point, "REORDER", "")`

Conditional Formatting

Apply the following rules to enhance data visibility:

Low Stock Alerts: Highlight rows where Current Stock Level is below a defined threshold (e.g., 10 units) with red fill and white text.
Outgoing Movements: Apply yellow background to all entries where Type of Movement = "Outgoing".
Recent Transactions (Last 7 Days): Use date-based conditional formatting to highlight recent entries (e.g., light blue fill).
Overstock Warning: Flag items with Current Stock Level above 100% of capacity with orange text.
