Table Structures & Columns (Inventory Master Sheet)

Formulas Required for Automation & Accuracy

• Auto-Stock Update: Use a combination of SUMIFS and INDEX-MATCH to aggregate incoming stock from Purchase Orders.
• Total Inventory Value: = [Current Stock Level] * [Cost per Unit]
• Stock Status Indicator: =IF([Current Stock Level] <= [Reorder Point], "Low", IF([Current Stock Level] >= 2*[Reorder Point], "High", "Optimal"))
• Days Until Reorder: =IF(AND([Current Stock Level] > 0, [Lead Time (Days)] > 0), ROUNDUP([Current Stock Level]/[Avg Daily Usage], 0) - [Lead Time (Days)], "N/A")
• On-Time Delivery Rate: Calculated in the Supplier Performance Log using: =COUNTIFS(SupplierLog[Delivery Status], "On Time", SupplierLog[Supplier Name], A2) / COUNTIF(SupplierLog[Supplier Name], A2)

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Alerts: Red fill with white text for stock levels below Reorder Point.
• High Stock: Light orange background if stock exceeds 200% of reorder point (indicating overstock).
• Pending Deliveries: Yellow highlight for orders where delivery date is within next 7 days.
• Aging Inventory: Use color scales to show products with no movement in the last 90+ days (dark red = oldest).
