Formulas & Automation

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to automate reporting and maintain data integrity:

• =IF(Current Stock Level <= Reorder Point, "Reorder Now", "In Stock"): Dynamically flags low-stock items.
• =SUMIFS(Transaction Log!C:C, Transaction Log!B:B, Inventory Master List!A2, Transaction Log!E:E, "Receipt"): Calculates total received for each item.
• =VLOOKUP(Item ID, Client-Specific Reports!A:G, 6,FALSE): Pulls client-specific pricing or quantities.
• =SUMPRODUCT(--(Current Stock Level > 0), --(Status = "Active")): Counts active inventory items.
• =TEXT(NOW(), "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm"): Auto-updates last updated timestamp upon edit.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues are implemented to enhance usability:

• Red Fill & Bold Text: Items with stock below reorder point.
• Yellow Highlight: Items with stock at 80% of reorder level (warning zone).
• Green Fill: Items with sufficient inventory (>150% of reorder point).
• Data Bars: Visual representation of stock levels across items.
• Icon Sets: Traffic light icons for status (red, yellow, green).
