Data Entry Sheet: Raw Data Collection (Data Version Core)

This is the foundation of the template where all new stock movements, client allocations, and inventory updates are logged in a structured data format. It maintains Data Version integrity by timestamping every entry and allowing version rollback.

Column	Data Type	Description & Validation Rule
Date/Time Stamp	DateTime (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm)	Auto-generated timestamp using =NOW() on entry. Ensures traceability of each data version.
Client ID	Text/Number (e.g., C001)	Unique identifier for client; dropdown list with predefined clients.
Item Code	Text (e.g., ITM-1234)	Standard product or SKU code linked to master inventory.
Description	Text (max 100 characters)	Description of item (e.g., "Blue Widget, Size M"). Auto-filled via lookup from master table.
Transaction Type	Dropdown: Inbound, Outbound, Adjustment, Return	Defines movement type. Critical for accurate stock calculations.
Quantity (Units)	Numeric (positive)	Positive number representing units added or removed from stock.
Unit Cost (£)	Currency (£) (2 decimal places)	Cost per unit for accounting purposes; used in valuation calculations.
Location	Text (e.g., Warehouse A, Distribution Hub)	Where the item is stored or being moved to/from.
User ID	Text (e.g., JSmith)	ID of person entering the transaction for audit trail purposes.
Version ID	Auto-generated Number (e.g., V1, V2)	Assigned automatically when data is updated or imported. Enables version comparison.

Stock Summary Sheet: Aggregated Client-Level Insights

This sheet aggregates data from the Data Entry sheet to provide a high-level view of stock levels, value, and movement per client. It supports Client Reporting by delivering structured summaries for monthly or quarterly review.

Fields: Client ID, Client Name (from lookup), Total Stock Value (£), Current Stock Level (Units), Last Updated Date, Status (In/Out of Stock).
Data Validation: Uses Pivot Tables and SUMIFS to aggregate data based on client and item.
Formulas:
- =SUMIFS(DataEntry!$F:$F, DataEntry!$B:$B, A2) – Sum of quantities per client.
- =SUMPRODUCT((DataEntry!$B:$B=A2)*(DataEntry!$G:$G)) – Total value (Quantity × Unit Cost).
- =IF([Total Stock Value] > 1000, "High", IF([Total Stock Value] > 500, "Medium", "Low")) – Risk categorization.

Client Reporting Dashboard: Visual Client Insights

This visually rich dashboard serves as the primary Client Reporting interface. It is dynamically linked to both the raw data and summary sheets using Excel’s built-in charting and conditional formatting.

Recommended Charts:
- Bar Chart: Client-wise stock value comparison (horizontal bar).
- Pie Chart: Percentage breakdown of total inventory value by client.
- Line Graph: Monthly trend in stock levels for top 3 clients.
- Gauge Chart: Stock health score (e.g., below 50 units = red, above 200 = green).
Conditional Formatting:
- Highlight clients with stock value < £500 in yellow.
- Flag items below reorder level (set threshold) in red.
- Color code transaction types (green for inbound, red for outbound).

Version History & Audit Log: Data Version Control

This sheet is critical to the Data Version philosophy. Every time data is revised or imported, a version record is created here.

Column	Description
Version ID (V1, V2...)	Incremental version number.
Date & Time	When version was created.
Action Type	Added, Updated, Deleted, Imported.
Changes Summary	Brief description (e.g., “Updated client C001 stock levels”).
Approver/Creator	ID of user responsible.
