1. Open the template and save a new copy with your employee ID and date for version control. 2. Only enter data in Sheet 2: Daily Stock Updates. Do not modify other sheets unless authorized. 3. Use drop-down menus to select Product ID and Employee ID—avoid manual typing to prevent errors. 4. At end of shift/day, record all additions and removals accurately. 5. Submit the file via secure upload system before 5 PM daily (if required). 6. Review the Client Reporting Dashboard weekly to assess inventory trends relevant to client service. 7.

2024-04-05	Note: P1587 is “Wireless Charging Pad” — Stock level dropped to 97 (reorder at 100), triggering alert.

Recommended Charts and Dashboards

- **Client-Facing Dashboard** should include: - A summary table showing stock status (In Stock / Low Stock / Out of Stock) - Trendline chart for weekly inventory changes over 60 days - Risk heatmap indicating which products need immediate attention - Use Excel’s Power View or PivotTables + PivotCharts to enable drill-down capabilities. - Enable **dynamic filtering** so clients can view data by product category, date range, or warehouse location (if applicable).

This Excel template is a powerful tool for bridging internal operations (Employee View) with external expectations (Client Reporting), while maintaining accurate Product Inventory management.
